I understand the work required to run an association / competition, but with out measures & plans in place, its work for nothing, like pushing mud up hill because you lack any sort of vision, goals or KPI's.
Don't mean to offend anyone but seriously at the moment the work going into the association is to keep it a float not to see if flourish and grow.
Perhaps the executive need to be better directed themselves so they are working smarter not harder?

I'd suggest a regimented think-tank facilitated by a chairperson to map out some short & long term goals by persons who are committed to striving for an improved Association. Then it's a matter of drafting a plan and appointing motivated, reliable individuals to make it happen.
Personally, I don't know what we can offer to attract players. Yes, we've got the National Championships, but in reality it has attracted NIL players from other comps, despite the p!$$ & wind sprouted by some over the years.
I have grave concerns about SAMCA's push to involve more clubs in the inter-association 20/20 comp and the effects that more cricket will have on a social comp that is comprised of the vast majority of players who are happy to play each Saturday, and a handful who want to challenge themselves against better players from other Associations.
IF SAMCA are going to go ahead with their proposal to include 8 Clubs from each Association in the 20/20 comp, by my calculations if one of our teams gets through to the GF, they'll have played 5x 20/20 matches - or in other words, 5x Sundays that are wiped out of the social or family time. What chances do you reckon OB & myself will have mustering up players to commit more Sundays of their spare time for the 40 over SAMCA comp??
The answer is NOT more cricket!!

Unfortunately (and it's in every sport) you will never appease everyone, nor should you try to.
People will always whinge and complain, there will always be the knockers who are happy to join the chorus in pointing out the faults but never willing to be part of the solution.
The assoc just needs to be firm, set in place what they want to do - whether it's a T20 comp or whatever, and frankly the clubs need to deal with it. The End.
