The Committee
All clubs and societies within the Students' Union are run entirely by students. The student committee for Cricket (Mens) this year are:
Club Captain
- The primary roles of this individual are to lead the club, chair committee meetings, plan fresher trials, plan winter/summer training, and help with grant applications alongside the Treasurer. They also need to plan big club events such as the club Christmas dinner, to name one. They will need to remain in contact with SUSU's VP Sports, Sports Coordinator, Sports Development Officer and Southampton Sport. They will also be in charge of keeping our SUCC Alumni facebook group up to date with regular roundups of what is going on surrounding the club. Essentially you are responsible for the general running of the club throughout the year.
Vice Club Captain
- The Vice Club Captain shall aid the Club Captain with overseeing the organisation and management of the Club. They will also oversee the organisation of bunfight/freshers fair (one of the most important days in the club calendar. This role will also take on the role of kit secretary, helping to run the Shrey shop and also source the club with niche 'stash'. Please try to bring some new ideas to the table within your speech, who doesn't love new items of stash! This role will work closely with the Club Captain and Club Secretary helping to run the admin side of the club.
Treasurer
- They are responsible for running the day-to-day and yearly finances of the club. You will do the important yearly budget and make many money decisions following that. They will ensure all invoices are paid and every personal debt is paid to the club. You will also be running our in house Cricket Fantasy League during the summer season.
Welfare Secretary
- They are the point of contact for any issues relating to the wellbeing of our members, with the aim of fostering positive experiences and relationships within our club. Good qualities for this role are being a confident and supportive listener, conscious of accessibility and inclusivity in all club matters, preparedness on solutions and compromises when handling disputes and the appropriate channels to deal with issues.
Club Secretary
Head of Performance
- They will be responsible for assigning players to squads for both the winter and summer season. They will run the fresher trials and attend all Squad 1/2/3 training sessions to run/coach. It is their responsibility to liaise with any external coaches used throughout the year. They will lead by example and show a clear pathway to all members through the squads. They will also be in charge of running the admin on Spond for any training sessions. Once the 1st/2nd/3rd/4th BUCS team captains are elected, they will be in charge of all teams. At this point they will essentially be the person to oversee all of the squads and anything to do with cricket going forwards.
Indoor and Sponsorship Secretary
- They are responsible for organising our Wessex Indoor Premier League (WiPL) and sorting out all of the sponsors for the teams. From then on, you have a weekly duty to compile results, statistics and reports to be published on to the main Facebook group and the club's Play Cricket website. Furthermore, they are required to print out and collect all signed sponsorship contracts and pass these on to SUSU. They will order and arrange all of the WiPL kit, captains, fixture calendar etc. WiPL is a core component to our winter season, therefore, it takes a committed individual who is passionate about the success of the tournament to fulfil this role. They are also responsible for contacting local businesses, and trying to create as many sponsorship opportunities for the club to advertise, to bring in more money for the club.
Social Media Secretary
- They are responsible for growing the increasingly important social media accounts for the club (Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, TikTok and YouTube). They are key to improving the club's reputation online and helping the Sponsorship Secretary in creating more avenues to increase sponsorships. They will be in charge of posting content to encourage club members to stay engaged in the club. Some experience in graphic design would be great but this is by no means essential.
Social Secretary
- They are responsible for organising and running our Wednesday weekly socials together. The double act will draft a social calendar for the year, notify nightclubs of our presence and collaborate to guarantee enjoyable, content-filled socials for the whole club. They are also in charge of arranging our annual Isle of Wight Old Boys trip, and liaising with Red Jet and the drinking establishments on when we intend to be traveling. They will also act as Welfare Secretaries on the nights out that they lead.
Social Secretary
Tour Secretary
- They are responsible for organising and running a tour to a destination of their choice. They can choose whether to go alongside another AU club or not. Tour is a vital part of the club coming together and having a brilliant week away. You will also act as a reserve Social Secretary throughout the year.
