Forfar’s Strathmore Cricket Club is lining up its first fundraising social event of 2015 as plans gather momentum to develop the outfit on and off the field.
A general knowledge quiz will be held in the clubhouse on Saturday January 31, with teams gathering from 7.30 pm for an 8 pm start.
Teams of up to four are invited to participate, with an entry fee set at £10 per team.
Entry forms are available from Alan McKay, or by calling into the Lochside clubhouse.
The committee has also agreed to stage a general meeting of members in the clubhouse on Sunday February 8 from 2 pm.
“The management committee has been preparing plans which members believe will help the club to develop on and off the field,” said a club spokesperson.
“Our ability to implement these plans is dependent on maintaining a financially stable position and securing more active involvement from members and friends of the club.”
The mid-December annual general meeting was very disappointing, with barely enough in attendance to fill the various important roles on committee.
Laurance (corr) Knight was re-elected president, with Alan McKay as treasurer and Alan Ducat as secretary, and a number of other positions were filled.
However, it was unanimously agreed that several other appointments should be deferred until further discussion has taken place with members.
The members’ meeting on February 8 will focus on the future of the club in both the long and short term.
“Members of the management committee believe that the club can have a bright future, but only if we all commit and work together to achieve what we all want,” added the spokesperson.
“We look forward to welcoming to the meeting as many members, together with parents of junior members, as possible.”
