• Events Procedures

a) The team manager will be at the event to help and support the team members with any problems they may have, or experience during the match. Also to represent the county at the presentation. b) Conduct: REMEMBER THE ETIQUETTE RULES. The county is seen by your behaviour. Bad behaviour offends and embarrasses other members of the team and affects their performance. Non - compliance to the etiquette rules will effect a person’s future selection. c) After the match there is a presentation given and also refreshments, please attend. If for some reason you cannot attend please inform the Team Manager as early as possible. Good reasons only will be accepted, as it is rude to the host to walk out.
