Match Managers

The LX Club are always looking to have a match scheduled in your vicinity, please help the club and offer your name as a Match Manager or organiser.
The job involves liaising with the host club to agree the arrangements for the game and to gauge the potential strength of the opposition.

George Hazell will supply a list of names of those players who have stated that they would like to be considered for the game.

The Match Manager should :- (a form to assist with items 4,5 & 6 can be downloaded here -then save or print)

  1. Select a team suited to give the opposition a competitive game.
    Seek assistance from others if you so desire (the selection committee are only a phone call away and will be pleased to help).
    It is always a good idea to try to include a potential new member if this is possible.
  2. Notify players selected as early as possible and send a list of the team selection to George Hazell (by e-mail)
    for posting on the website.
  3. Inform those players who had made themselves available if they were not selected
  4. Organise collection of the match fees and the submission of a match report.
    It is also useful to have somebody on the sideline to take photographs, particularly action shots of the game
    but preferably not shots of players backsides - it's not their best angle! Either digital photos or
    ordinary photographs are acceptable although the former is best for the web site.
  5. Send the report and any photographs (by email or post) to Adrian Stephenson and George Hazell as soon as possible after the game.
    This information will be put in the LXer and added to the website.
  6. Send the monies direct to the Treasurer, Ray Jeff- a minimum of £25 plus anything else left in the kitty,
    not forgetting to mention the game concerned.

New Match Managers are always welcome - the current Match Manager does not necessarily want to run that particular game every year.
Put your name forward by contacting the Fixture Secretary David G Read (by e-mail or you can ring him direct), please don't leave it
to the same old faithfuls who usually end up doing all the work.
