INVITATION TO THE
FCA CLUB DEVELOPMENT FORUM
18 & 19 OCTOBER 2014
AT KISAKESKUS SPORTS CENTRE

The FCA committee invites all member clubs to take part in the 2014 Club Development Forum on October 18-19, 2014.


As presented at the 2014 FCA AGM, the aim of this forum is to get input from the member clubs on questions such as 
  • improving club management and budgeting
  • the 2015 league structures
  • junior activities, and
  • the long-term development of cricket in Finland.

The event will also allow informing clubs of, amongst other topics
  • FCA goals
  • financing
  • umpiring
  • the use of CricHQ, and
  • disciplinary questions.

To reach these aims all member clubs MUST send at least one representative to the forum and preferably two to ensure maximum benefit. Attendees need to be pro-active club members which may or may not be your present club chairperson or secretary. In order to make the most of the forum, it is important that the selected club representatives know the situation (admin, finances etc.) of their own club well. Part of the time will be used to work in smaller groups on varied topics. In order to encourage a broader participation, the FCA will contribute to the costs of a second representative from the same club.

Accommodation will be arranged in cabins. The rooms will be distributed once the number of participants are known.

Participation will cost 60€ for the first club representative. This includes accommodation, coffee/snack on arrival, use of the facilities, Saturday evening sauna for the forum sessions and Sunday breakfast. FCA will subsidise the second club representative by 50%. Lunch and dinner are optional (cooking is possible in the cabins if you want to make your own) and cost just under 10€/meal.
Please let the FCA committee secretary Heikki Mahlamäki know who (or at least will it be one or two participants) will represent your club by latest the 17th of September, so we can book the right amount of cabins. Earlier replies would be greatly appreciated.

On behalf of the FCA committee,
Heikki Mahlamäki
Secretary (secretary@cricketfinland.com)
