SUMMARY OF 2010/11 SEASON PROVIDED BY A.KIRSCH. Most clubs judge the success of a season almost entirely in terms of wins and losses. Anthony took us on a far deeper journey to help all appreciate where we ended up and why. The following was pointed out. Player Ock.C missed the entire season due to the necessity to complete a number of hours worth of "Community Work". Administrator Brown.W missed the entire system due to stud duties. Player Hope.G proved to be mortal and failed dismally in his efforts to maintain a three figure batting average and single figure bowling average. We were in the bottom two for most of the season, yet remained a chance to make the four with two rounds to go but the continued lack of effort from Hope.G ensured we bowed out. |

On the
bright side: Magnificent international held versus Durham Cavaliers from Canada at Herring. Opposition all West Indian but sadly only two gunja smokers. Excellent dance moves to Bob Marley post match at the Rising Sun. Match a draw after 2nd innings washed out - saved the visitors needless embarrasment. New sponsor contributed shirts, meat and copious quantity of beer - very well done and appreciated New sponsor put on the whites and made three consecutive ducks - very well done and appreciated O.O.O. O'Bryan Dennis Huxley gave indications that his sparkling career was coming to an end. After another superb pre-season, this ridiculous notion has been binned. Much made of the lack of flesh and bone below the wrists of Mr Bowden.D. Hyndman.C took out the Yellow Bird Cup. BNCC finished a credible 5th. And finally…. An exhaustive summary of a gutsy, backs to the wall half century from a badly bruised and hurtfully sledged Kirsch against a demon Reds attack was endured until shouted down by all and sundry. |

JOCK FOUNTAIN AWARD 2010/11 SEASON - PRESENTED BY PRIOR YEAR WINNER D.QUIRK. "The Jock" was taken home by none other than Ronny O'Bryan - the first man ever to win it in his first season with the BNCC. A very popular result that was appreciated by all - especially our hard working, cute and cuddly staff "Brandy and Wet". |

TREASURERS REPORT - PRESENTED BY MR WARWICK BROWN Mr Brown provided the somewhat (but not quite) sobering news that in our superhuman efforts to stimulate the Australian Economy by spending, the cupboard was now bare. Subs for the season were set at $300 and a return to the hugely successful "Can-o-meter" method was proposed and seconded. Thanks to Messrs Brown and Huxley who covered the club registration costs until such time as they could be re-embursed. The generous contributions of club sponsor Ronny and club owner Jason May were acknowledged. |

TRIBUTE TO THE FALLEN The customary minutes silence was held in memory of BNCC immortals Anthony Wright, Penny Gallagher and Jock Fountain. May they RIP (Revel in Piss) forever more. CLUB AUCTION Previous owner and Turf Manager Jason May was engaged in a spirited bidding dual via telephone from Asia with Craig Shearn and Michael Twist. The "Totally Twisted One" came out on top with a bid of $1,150 - a club record. Congratulations on making the A List. Enjoy rubbing shoulders with the likes of Mrs Edelstein and Rose Porteous. ELECTIONS The following accepted their appointments for the 2010/11 season Brown. W. Treasurer The man is a financial genious. The club may be broke but the system ain't - why change it? Patterson. M Secretary (to be assisted by Vana M) Thanks to Kirschy for doing this for the past four seasons. Todman. S Club Delegate and equipment procurer Thanks to Dennis for doing this for the past seven or so seasons. Derrig M. President. Thanks to Scott Illingworth for three flawless seasons of doing absolutely nothing. Huxley Ms K. Vice President Thanks to Mark Thomas for doing this since the inception of the club Score Enterer Thanks to Kirschy, Hucca and Vana M for doing this since the system came in. GENERAL BUSINESS Simon Jarman proposed that the club introduce a "Token Gay" and in doing so outed an ex-workmate who has agreed to take on this responsibility. After some mutterings from our Nazi faction, it was agreed that this would be allowed, however the ban against gypsies and the disabled would continue until the success of the experiment could be properly assessed. "Token" an ex-Burnley CC Refugee will duly take his place in the BNCC in the coming weeks. "Are You Being Served" humour is anticipated and will be encouraged. In order to balance things, the search is on for a "Lipstick Lesbian" to join the club. Applications together with photo will be accepted via the website. FOLK DANCING Brandy and Wet ended proceedings with the traditional BNCC song and dance routine. MEETING CLOSED Meeting ended at around 2.30am. Chris Curtain had to be assisted in getting from taxi to home. No injuries were reported on the night, a great 2011/12 beckons. |
