The Norfolk CSMBA Annual General Meeting was held at North Wymondham on Sunday. Probably due to a combination of extremely hot weather, no constitutional proposals submitted and one nomination for each Officer position the lowest attendance in memory resulted with only eight member clubs out of 64 sending delegates. They were Wymondham, East Harling, Thetford, Wortwell, Diss, Hevingham, Thorpe Marriott and East Tuddenham. Reports from the Officers highlighted another successful season where two National titles were won by Norfolk, the National Triples and the National Under 18’s. Other highlights were Norfolk Premier reaching the final of the I.C.C again and Norfolk Over 60’s winning the Eastern England Over 60’s League. In his Chairman’s Report, Selwyn Goldsmith of Hevingham SMBC spoke of the huge contribution Brian Saunders of Wymondham SMBC had made to the NCSMBA over many years as President, and formerly Vice Chairman and County Team Manager, before awarding Brian Life Membership of the NCSMBA. During the President’s Closing Speech Brian Saunders awarded Secretary Jenny Walker with a President’s Distinguished Service award for her work since becoming Secretary of the NCSMBA. The Treasurer Jon Sparham reported that the NCSMBA County Accounts were still in a healthy financial position and recommended that fees remained unchanged.
