2 4. How should we improve the facilities further? Page 2 of 6 Improve facilities of changing room- spaces for kit to be stowed, lockers? More outside seating Better scoring facilities for pitch 2 Improve shower facilities Improve score board for second pitch. Covers for second pitch Changing rooms Changing room extension with windows Larger club house and changing rooms with an indoor viewing area The nets being built will be a big help when completed to improve the club s facilities. Changing rooms could be modernised More choice on the bar and entertainment after games maybe once a month. More seating areas Menu Continue as present as and when funding is available More food on offer In an ideal world, the changing rooms could be as big as the bar Changing rooms Can t improve on good facilities, friendliness and helpful people. The only suggestion would toilets are a little open to the bar / seating area More seats around the pitches Changing and toilet facilities Have the new pavilion finished More outside seating. Seating outside 5. On a 1-10 scale, how do you rate the training sessions offered? Average score = 8.31

3 Page 3 of 6 6. How could training sessions be further improved? Look to muster further parental helpers to maintain low coaching group sizes. Support parents who wish to gain coaching qualifications Smaller groups better structure More specialist equipment First team players help with junior coaching We have some awesome coaches who work really well Player specific detail For me as a second team player who works full time, once a week net to keep my skills in order is fine for what I require Crash mat! More one to one coaching but realise it is all down to how many coaches there are, and they are all volunteers and do a great job. Perhaps some of the first team players might do a clinic session with the older junior members as a few words by an experienced player can really make a difference More games within practice More coaches / coach helpers Perhaps clone the coaches would be great to have 10 more! Excellent training / coaching. As the club grows, more coaches may be needed. I like how everyone is adapted to those who need more help and those who are excellent at the game Better organised The quality of coaching and support is superb. However, given the numbers of youngsters attending, this dilutes the ability of the coaches to give individual assistance. Consider streaming the age groups, to enable players of similar ability levels to have access to the right level of coaching to enable the development of skills to improve their game More drills and interaction More skill & player specific. 7.

4 Page 4 of 6 8. The club communicates effectively with its members? 9. How can we further improve upon our communication? Team managers to contribute articles to quarterly newsletter, paper copies accessible in club house Not everyone uses social media so need to have alternative method also More notice for social events and functions Not assume all have access to electronic services via a mobile Communication is great already, great newsletter! Lots of posters for events - I know some of the elder members of the club don t know about social events as they aren t on Facebook Notice board regularly updated Whatsapp / Facebook groups for teams help. Saves numerous texts being sent. Team selections should be available electronically, or at the very least, more widely communicated. More better laid out communication in pavilion Continued use of social media with regular updates concerning the club from cricket to social events 10. Oakamoor Cricket Club puts on a wide range of social events for all of its members

5 Page 5 of Can you suggest any other social events which you d like to see the club provide? Chocolate bingo, live band Proper disco, karaoke, theme nights (80 s nite, 90 s nite, American nite etc.) Mr and Mrs Night Games Night on a nice summers evening. Rounders and volley ball! Live band, disco, karaoke, quiz nights, game nights Quiz, mum / dad matches, novice matches After-dinner speakers from the local or sporting community. Maybe more of a consideration for presentation evenings More evening events Bingo 12. Are there any areas in which you would like to support us with in the future? 13. Do you have any other comments which will help further develop our club? Oakamoor is a very friendly and welcoming club and is very child centred. It offers wonderful opportunities to junior cricketers of all abilities and is run by a very dedicated and enthusiastic band of volunteers. It s a real treasure in the crown of the moorlands and something to be very proud of indeed! Keep up the great work! Player pro Continued overleaf

If one could be found who would come and down and help the coaches on a Friday night (that could be tricky I am aware) as well it would help the improve the kids this would be a bonus though. A crashmat would be a very welcome addition! The Committee do a great job! Well done! Oakamoor is a wonderful club which tries to include and involve all people whether they've been coming to the club for years or are new to the club, I think this is something which needs to continue and something that should be emphasised No excellent friendly club. Just would like to help more but wouldn't know where to start. Don't know the game or live locally so a little difficult. Promote a winning mentality on the field. The facilities, and commitment of everyone connected with the club are up there with the best in the area in my experience. This however doesn't always manifest itself on the other side of the boundary rope. Streaming juniors will help facilitate this.
