AGM minutes from 2022 were agreed
Chairman’s report – had been in Chair for four years now, dominated by the COVID bug. Like all organisations we suffered but seemed to be getting back on track now. He thanked all, committee, members and guests over the year. Thanks also to the NHS Club and Donna for the use of the facilities. Looking forward to attaining the Silver Quest Awards and the Annual Dinner with numbers up (60’s). Hoping that more younger and lady refs in the area will become members in the future.
Secretary’s Report – written and passed to members (meeting average at 28)
Treasurer’s Report – a written balance sheet was circulated. Ran at a small loss but a healthy balance. Most of the subs to go National RA and the dinner (which is expected). Was discussed and accepted. Transaction fees to be reviewed by new committee.
Safeguarding Officer – 18 cases of under-18’s, players, refs, etc. Mainly disciplinary procedures letting people down. Stressed that when reporting, check everything prior to reporting. Abide by the rules and regs, especially with U18’s
VoT given to retiring officers

Apols as AGM
Minutes silence for Eric Chapman, ex-member and appointments secretary for many years with York Minster League and York Minor League. Always donated a bag of spuds for a raffle prize at our meetings. A person you could not refuse when he rang looking for a referee at short notice, like 10pm on a Friday evening.
Also Keith Sales (Pickering) of the Becket League for many years
The Chairman then showed some clips of matches he had been involved with (as PGMOL assessor) and invited discussion. This proved very enjoyable (even though projector failed)
Meeting closed at 9.40pm
