The Affiliation Strategy for The New Millennium |
| |
|
Gold Affiliation |
|
This will entitle the club
to ECCB help with the following initiative: |
|
* Youth Cricket * Grant Aid
* Women's and Girls Cricket * Development Plans
* Facility Development * Disability * Coaching. |
| |
|
Silver Affiliation |
|
This will entitle the club
by application to the ECCB for assistance with any
two of the Gold affiliation initiatives |
| |
|
Bronze Affiation |
|
This will cover the
Affiliation to the Board for a club not requiring any other help.
This will be the affiliation available to schools |
| |
|
The Reason Why |
|
The work of the paid
employees and voluntary workers of Essex County Cricket Board if
differentiated according to the need of the Club. In practice this means
that some Clubs get a significant amount of attention, some get less help
and the rest get little help, aside of the bulletin or other general advice. |
| |
| In 1997 a Club paid an affiliation fee of
£15 per team to the NCA and £10 per team to the ECA plus a District
Association subscription. When the ECB and the ECCB were set up, the former
set up an affiliation fee for 1998 of £10 per club, all of which was to be
retained by the new County Boards which had a discretion to charge a fee of
their own. In Essex we decided that there would be no further fee at that
time, although Clubs would continue to pay their District Association
subscriptions |
| |
| This means the Board gets an income from
affiliation of £3000 to £4000. This is the only potential income to the
Board aside of a grant from the Foundation. This grant is targeted at the
development of youth. The Development of the District Cricket Boards will
increase the need for pump priming funding and there is major potential for
a fresh look at affiliation to derive a more realistic level of funds to
assist this process. The level of affiation funds at the moment would not
serve this purpose. |
