As the years come and go and as those young players age I hope<br>\nthey will follow up by playing in our Senior League and enjoy the competition.<br>\nYour committee has been working hard again this season so please read the officers reports<br>\ncarefully they deserve your support.<br>\nLots of things have been going on, apart from the playing side, courses for umpires and<br>\ntesting leading to many successes.<br>\nProud that we introduced the Essex Met Drop Box this season to get some ideas from you<br>\nas to how we can improve your experiences playing or umpiring or even volunteering in<br>\nEssex Met. Lots of suggestions came in and this was also shared with Redbridge as to<br>\nwhether any of the suggestions could work. The follow up was a meeting at Redbridge with<br>\nclub members to go through the proposals. Although a few clubs attended (thank you) It<br>\nwould have been nice to see more of you there.<br>\nWorld Netball Cup this year is in Cape Town South Africa &#8211; is anyone going? Television will<br>\nbe showing all matches I am told.<br>\nFinally, you will see a number of vacancies on the Committee &#8211; one of which has given many<br>\nmany years of her free time and I personally want to thank Maggie Fuller for her commitment<br>\nand for doing a fantastic job in keeping our books healthy.<br>\nIn fact anyone that gives up their free time deserves all the support they can get from the membership. We cannot survive without volunteers.<br>\nHave a good summer and see you in the 2023\/24 season.<br>\nPat Meadows<\/p>\n<p>To download document please click on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.essexmet.co.uk\/AGM\/CountyChair.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">County Chair&#8217;s Report<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<!-- Simple Share Buttons Adder (8.5.2) simplesharebuttons.com --><div class=\"ssba-classic-2 ssba ssbp-wrap aligncenter ssbp--theme-1\"><div style=\"text-align:N\"><span class=\"ssba-share-text\">Share this...<\/span><br\/><a data-site=\"facebook\" class=\"ssba_facebook_share ssba_share_link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?t=County Chair&#8217;s Report&u=https:\/\/www.essexmet.co.uk\/Netball\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2204\"  style=\"color:; background-color: ; height: 48px; width: 48px; \" ><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.essexmet.co.uk\/Netball\/wp-content\/plugins\/simple-share-buttons-adder\/buttons\/somacro\/facebook.png\" style=\"width: 35px;\" title=\"facebook\" class=\"ssba ssba-img\" alt=\"Share on facebook\" \/><div title=\"Facebook\" class=\"ssbp-text\">Facebook<\/div><\/a><a data-site=\"pinterest\" class=\"ssba_pinterest_share ssba_share_link\" href=\"https:\/\/pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/?description=County Chair&#8217;s Report&media=&url=https:\/\/www.essexmet.co.uk\/Netball\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2204\"  style=\"color:; background-color: ; height: 48px; width: 48px; \" ><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.essexmet.co.uk\/Netball\/wp-content\/plugins\/simple-share-buttons-adder\/buttons\/somacro\/pinterest.png\" style=\"width: 35px;\" title=\"pinterest\" class=\"ssba ssba-img\" alt=\"Share on pinterest\" \/><div title=\"Pinterest\" class=\"ssbp-text\">Pinterest<\/div><\/a><a data-site=\"twitter\" class=\"ssba_twitter_share ssba_share_link\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=County Chair&#8217;s Report&url=https:\/\/www.essexmet.co.uk\/Netball\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2204&via=\"  style=\"color:; background-color: ; height: 48px; width: 48px; \" ><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.essexmet.co.uk\/Netball\/wp-content\/plugins\/simple-share-buttons-adder\/buttons\/somacro\/twitter.png\" style=\"width: 35px;\" title=\"twitter\" class=\"ssba ssba-img\" alt=\"Share on twitter\" \/><div title=\"Twitter\" class=\"ssbp-text\">Twitter<\/div><\/a><a data-site=\"linkedin\" class=\"ssba_linkedin_share ssba_share_link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/shareArticle?title=County Chair&#8217;s Report&url=https:\/\/www.essexmet.co.uk\/Netball\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2204\"  style=\"color:; background-color: ; height: 48px; width: 48px; \" ><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.essexmet.co.uk\/Netball\/wp-content\/plugins\/simple-share-buttons-adder\/buttons\/somacro\/linkedin.png\" style=\"width: 35px;\" title=\"linkedin\" class=\"ssba ssba-img\" alt=\"Share on linkedin\" \/><div title=\"Linkedin\" class=\"ssbp-text\">Linkedin<\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>County Chair I start my report by thanking all those of you that managed to fulfil all your League games especially if you had to rearrange some of them.
