ACCSO: what, who and wherefore ?
ACCSO, whose original constitution dates back to 1992, is all about the promotion and development of cricket in what the French know as “le grand sud ouest”.
Organising and managing tournaments is one of the key objectives of ACCSO. Tournaments provide the competitive challenge which is called for by many of the region’s players. Properly managed, tournaments also help to raise standards across all the participating clubs.
ACCSO also serves as a clearing-house and centre of competence on all matters relating to the administration of the sport of cricket in the south west.
The following are ACCSO's Officers as at June 2008 :
President : Andy Crawford (Tarn CC). president@cricket-sw-france.org
Secretary : Peter Townsend (Damazan CC). secretary@cricket-sw-france.org
Treasurer : Stephen Harrison (Saint-Aulaye ). treasurer@cricket-sw-france.org
Vice-President : Andy Crawford (Tarn CC). vp@cricket-sw-france.org
The opportunity to re-elect these officers or to appoint new officers will arise at the 2008 AGM, scheduled for Saturday 1st November 2008, at Damazan. For details of agenda, reports and papers, please look at the AGM 2008 page.
ACCSO's scope and coverage:
ACCSO's "business" has grown significantly since its inception in 1992, as can be seen by looking at the original Statuts (Constitution), presented both in French and in an English translation in the Constitution page. Hence the project, approved at the 2006 AGM, for a re-work of the Statuts. The AGM 2007 (3 November 2007) could not finalise review of the draft tabled. The review process will continue through 2008, ahead of AGM 2008.
