In line with the ECB’s recommendations, the Kent Cricket Board (KCB) is to establish an Officials Association to support and further the aims and objectives of cricket umpires and scorers in Kent. 

Jamie Clifford recently invited representatives of all former Kent umpires and scorers associations to a meeting to establish the criteria to move forward on this important issue.  The outcome of that meeting was a commitment to form a Kent Cricket Board Association of Cricket Officials.
 
The next step will be the inaugural meeting of KCB’s Association of Cricket Officials (KCB ACO) on 7th May at Addington Village Cricket Club at 7.30pm.

All cricket officials in Kent are invited to this meeting.  At this meeting there will be a vote to agree a constitution and elect officers.

A suggested constitution is available as is the agenda for the meeting.  Nominations for the Committee are as follows:

Chairman                                                        Ken Say
Secretary                                                         Ian Fraser       
Treasurer                                                         Neil Kerrison
Education  & Development Officer           Martin Seguss
Appointments and Assessment Officer    Ken Amos
Scorers’ Officer                                               Paul Parkinson
                                                                            Cliff Booth
 
Please feel free to forward any agenda items you wish to be added, or proposals for officers before the meeting to Ian Fraser.

Proposals for officers and discussion points will also be accepted from the floor but the permission of the person being proposed must be sought beforehand.  Please take time to read the Draft Constitution and suggest changes before the meeting to Ian Fraser, or alternatively bring your thoughts along on the day.
 
If you are coming to the meeting would you please confirm your attendance to Heidi Coleman at Kent Cricket Board.
