Could be opening a big can of worms there LM

[Browny25]

the decision for rosies to host was because adel independent couldnt find a suitable ground, it only came up at the samca meeting and elaine had to volunteer ridley road there and then, she didnt have time to ring around. central united cc dont host because they dont run the bar, they are separate from the central united football club and its the footy club who reap the rewards from over the bar even when the cricket club do all the volunteering on the day.

Is that why when I buy a drink there during the cricket season it doesn't get rung up on the till?

I'm sure it's common knowledge out there, the bloody thing just gets left open and the transaction is made without any proof. I'm not implying anything more than I just find it odd that in todays day and age this would happen.
We have very trustworthy people running our bar but if this was happening at our club I'd be raising the question, if someone got behind the bar and helped themselves to some cash there would be no record of what was taken.
Accountability is everything nowadays in small clubs, we've seen a few go arse up recently.

Having said that, I haven't been there since mid last season, things may of changed.

Gee thats a rough deal for the cricket club, they get people into the footy club during summer and they dont get any profit share from the footy club and I thought CCC got the rough end of the pineapple on their arrangement at Uley Rd.
When will these winter sports realise that without patrons buying drinks through their bars over summer that it helps their profits for the whole year and helps support their winter sports.
Maybe its about time the local councils really listened to cricket clubs and gave them a fair share of club rooms over the summer period.
Why cant a footy or soccer club run the club from April to September and the cricket clubs run from October to March, surely this would help all sporting codes survive.
I know ATCO run their club this way with the Grove soccer club so it can work if all parties agree.

I play soccer at the Grove and from my understanding the Grove/Atco agreement is a perfect example of how a winter/summer agreement can work perfectly.

The reason that one has worked so well is probably because the summer club (Atco) were the power players as the Grove were the homeless club looking for anywhere to base themselves.

Thats the difference when you run your own bar, you can offer drinks vouchers etc, we are in a difficult situation where the soccer club run the bar and we get a small slice of the profits.
Thats another reason why the T20s didnt really work for CCC as the soccer club have the liquor license and it does not cover outside and if we ran the inside bar we only make a small % of takings, so CCC didnt make a lot of money from the day we held it. It also doesnt help when people turn up with their own drinks.

It's taken a fair few arguments to get something decent, it's a kick in the guts when players don't come straight in after matches though, we have a half an hour after the game rule where everything needs to be packed up under the verandah and everyone in. If this isn't followed we miss out on some incentives.
As for the T20 day, I know some of our supporters were accused of bringing their own drinks, there were a couple that rocked up unaware of the agreement that didn't usually watch us, just friends of friends, it wasn't as bad as it was made out to be.
When we hosted it for the first time I asked around for what drinks I should get as it was coming out of my pocket initially as the club didn't want to be a part of it, after buying 3 slabs of cider and seeing a certain group sitting 10 metres away from where we were set up drinking cider all day it got up my goat a bit.
We picked up about 60 cider bottles but sold about 6 for the day, it was a bit disappointing seeing it happen right under our noses.

Going to be an interesting first hour at AVPS on Saturday, I think the game will be won or lost by drinks. Obviously we need Andy Carman out early and not let Pete or Crowhurst to get a start. Hopefully it's overcast with plenty of moisture in the air, some intense fielding practice tonight is on the cards.

Hopefully we don't have to catch 20 in a row before we can finish up, might be a late night otherwise
