Last night, the Lismore Cricket Club hosted its much-anticipated Annual General Meeting (AGM), drawing in a robust turnout from dedicated members eager to contribute to the club’s future. The atmosphere was charged with enthusiasm and a shared commitment to furthering the club’s legacy within the community.
The AGM, a cornerstone event for any organisation, serves as a platform for reflection on past achievements, discussion of challenges faced, and strategic planning for the future. This year’s gathering was no exception, as members engaged in spirited discussions about ways to enhance the club’s operations, expand its reach, and nurture talent within its ranks.
One of the highlights of the evening was the Election of officers – whereby the club executive is was re-elected, leading to a stable foundation in 2024. This bodes well for the club’s continued success and underscores its importance as a vibrant hub for cricket enthusiasts in the Lismore area.
Another key point of discussion was the approval of the minutes from the previous year’s AGM, providing a comprehensive record of the club’s activities and decisions. Members who were unable to attend the meeting in person need not worry, as they can easily request a copy of the AGM minutes by contacting the Secretary. This ensures transparency and inclusivity within the club, allowing all members to stay informed and involved in its affairs.
As the evening drew to a close, there was a palpable sense of optimism and camaraderie among those in attendance. The AGM had served not only as a forum for addressing important club matters but also as a celebration of the shared passion for cricket that unites its members.
Looking ahead, the Lismore Cricket Club is poised to build upon the momentum generated by the AGM and continue its mission of promoting the sport, fostering community spirit, and providing opportunities for players of all ages and abilities to participate and excel.
In conclusion, the success of last night’s AGM speaks volumes about the strength and resilience of the Lismore Cricket Club and the unwavering dedication of its members. With their continued support and collective efforts, the club is primed for a bright and prosperous future, both on and off the field.
Ben,
I recently came across your web page by a lucky accident. I was at school in Midleton College in the late 1950’s and one of the highlights of the summer term was the trip to Lismore to play cricket against you. I would like to think that I scored 100 and took 8 for 26 the truth I suspect is much more mundane. Very happy days. Wonderful to see you are still hard at it.

Hi Gerry. Thanks for getting in-touch. We’ve done some research and found some scorecards from that era (the truth is indeed more mundane). We’ll compile what we have from the scorebook covering the 1957 – 1959 seasons and let you know. If you’d like Micheal’s details to discuss them I can send them on.
Dan – Secretary
