BBF AGM (26th Feb) and Youth Forum (30th Jan) Questions

AS and KS are attending the Youth Forum this Sunday and will report back to the committee on any rule changes etc.

Questions to be raised by BaseballMK:

Order for Uniforms, Equipment and Hats

An order for 10 new larger tops for the Pony team will be made next month.

If anyone requires their own BaseballMK top, the individual cost is 33. Orders and money should be in to GS by 20th February 2005.

New Club caps will be handed out by the Team Managers at the first game of the season.

Some new equipment is required by both Teams and a list has been compiled by the Team Managers.

Knowlhill Update

GS reported the Council planning department are currently drawing up scale plans for the Diamond and Club House. These will be completed by mid February and sent to the costing department to tender for quotations. Following this the work should begin on the site.

We are also going to utilize Knowlhill for spring training in March on Mondays. TBC

Team Names

Team names were deemed unnecessary due to the usage of the Club Name.
We will continue to be called: BaseballMK Broncos & BaseballMK Ponys
