  4. Director Sports Board (RAF) Mission To promote the value of sporting activity and endeavour as a core contribution to operational effectiveness, and as a key factor to recruit, develop, sustain and retain our personnel.

  5. RAFSB, Secretariat & Lottery • RAF Sports Board decides matters of sports policy and funding. • DSB exercises executive responsibility of all sport undertaken under the aegis of the RAF Sports Associations, and issues “authority” [duty status] for sporting activity. (Governance) • The Secretariat provides support to the Associations who, in conjunction with the PEd staff at units, deliver and promote sporting activity at all levels. (Advice) • Sources, generates, manages and distributes non-public funding for sport include the RAF Central Fund, Nuffield Trust and RAF Sports Lottery. (Funding)

  6. RAF Sports Strategy – End State (2015) • Sufficient opportunities for sport at every level. • Policies and resources allow time for sport. • COs fulfil their responsibility for promoting sport. • People remain protected by policies and processes that clarify and authorise duty status. • Sufficient high quality facilities availablefor allauthorised sport. • Sufficient public funding for sport supported by non-public funds (lottery, charity, sponsorship) • Contributions to RAF sport are valued and rewarded.

  15. COMPETITIONS REVIEW OF 2011 • T20 works for Leagues, but tying to Lords date hindered notice. • T20 Final a fiasco of RAFCA comms – leading to knock on complaints. • RAF Cup – Only 10 of 21 games played. • Too many teams fail to show on agreed dates – leading to knock on complaints.

  25. ADASTRIANSSqn Ldr Rich Harris • Summary of the 2011 Season

  26. ADASTRIANS – The Long Hop • Not enough playing members • Low player availability • Standard of players slipping • Cancelled matches • Weekend/Family commitments • Reduced manning • OOA commitments • Not viewed as developmental

  27. ADASTRIANS The Forward Defensive • Promote as alternative development opportunity for RAFCA (Players not getting Eagles and U25s places but have potential) • Prestigious fixtures • Representative Cricket (Duty Travel) • Open to all ranks • Competitive standard • History to be preserved

  28. ADASTRIANS – The Batting Order • Annual Dinner at the RAF Club (Feb 12) • Stage at Vine Lane • Royal Household at Windsor Castle • Stragglers at Vine Lane • Cross Arrows CC at Lords • Cross Arrows Dinner – The Long Room (Nov 12) • Committee • Match Managers • Prize Winners

  29. ADASTRIANS The Last Wicket Stand • We must field full and competitive sides. • Fixtures pared down to a minimum. • Prestigious fixtures retained. • Venues and Events are the hook. • Support needed from RAFCA. • Encourage U25s and Eagles players. • If this fails Adastrians will fold next season!

  32. STATION CRICKETWg Cdr Stu Williams CDO • OICs Responsibilities • AP3342 Lflt 706 • IMPORTANT - Does not have to be a Commissioned Rank

  33. STATION CRICKET • A Refresher – An OIC Requires: • Interest • Innovation • Imagination • Excitement • Commitment • Leadership • Persistence • Unwavering Devotion

  34. STATION CRICKET A Familiar Story At Station Level? Team Co-ordinator - OIC Match Secretary - OIC Coach - Nil/OIC Captain - Best or Oldest Player/OIC Players - Whoever is available/OIC

  35. STATION CRICKET • An OIC needs : • A Committee • Constitution & TORs • Knowledge, Support & Guidance • Sports Board • The Stn • RAFCA • RAFCA Website - Stn Page • CDO • 95461 7532 • Stuart.Williams@752mod.uk

  36. STATION CRICKET • In a nutshell all we need is……. • Good quality pitches, Focal Point (Pavilion), Equipment, Nets & Practice Facilities, Players, Coaching, Officials, Trg nights, Funding, Coaching (Group/ Individual), Fixtures, Friendlies, Cup Matches, Stn Tournaments, Stn Tour, Stn Cricket Trips/Days out, Play day, Families Day, Committee, Constitution, Strong Links with PEd Flt and Contractors, Everyone a member of the RAF Sports Lottery, Develop promising players • Easily Achieved ? • Main Issues from the 2010/11 Review………..

  37. COMMON THEMES Difficulty in obtaining teas of a decent quality, at an affordable rate, especially with units that have PAYD. No easy answer – PAYD is reality. Low level Sponsorship from Stn Contactors? Lack of guidance for new OICs. Hopefully addressed Who can represent station teams in RAF Cup and League* games? AP 3415 Section 2 Ch 2 - Non Service/MoD Civ personnel (dependents, guests, contractors etc) are eligible to play in friendly (non RAF League or Cup) matches providing they have personal insurance in place and sign declaration - Annex A to Ref

  38. COMMON THEMES Lack of MT (JSP 752) Entitled to MT under Stn Cdr’s authority – Check contract? Driver Age - Local approach to obtaining Minibus Licence? Lack of Accommodation JSP 752. No Subsistence for Sport (exc key safety pers). SLAM = limited transit accn (sports accn at HAL, CRN & COS – BZN PCAU?). PAYD = No duty meals. Sponsorship ? Lack of player availability Use all available tools at your disposal - key stakeholders (Stn Cdr, Club President)

  39. REVIEW - SUMMARY/CONCLUSIONS • FINANCES. A mixed bag, units expressed concerns their facilities were worn however units that had requested money seemed to be content with their allocation. • MT. A big concern especially with SERCO controlled MT sections regarding driving hours or lack of vehicles. • TEAS. Most units that had to source refreshments from the Messes were not happy with the quantity or quality they were paying for. • PLAYER AVAILABILITY. A common theme. However, several units received a lot of support from local teams, and with station players heavily involved in local coaching and playing - the local teams also relied heavily on station players. Inference that cricket in the RAF was thriving through local clubs rather than unit v unit cricket.

  40. FUTURE • More Difficult ? • Improved RAFCA Support • Personality Dependent on Stns • Game is Reliant on You • We Must Up Our Collective Game if the Game is to Survive
