Still no election material in my "post bag"...
However,
Notts announced a pre-tax surplus in their accounts for year ending Oct 2024 of £0.64M in their eAnnual Report, published today.
In the said report one takeaway quote from our Chair, who increasingly appears NOT to represent the views of any member of the club that I have had any contact with.
Is this person delusional or do you share his opinion and it is I that is in need of a lie down in a darkened room?

Apparently there will be a vote this year, but if they count it remains to be another matter - refer to a previous manufactured fiasco under the current stewardship a couple years or so ago.
Nottsview had hoped to fairly share the candidates manifestos but yet again the posting of the material has been late.
One candidate has started the process on Facebook
Here's what he wrote verbatim.
Good Afternoon cricket lovers I want to introduce myself to you personally.
I am standing for election as a committee member of our great cricket club .
You will have your voting forms very soon so please use your vote wisely.
As a Nottingham man born 10 minutes from Trent Bridge as fully understand what Trent Bridge means to us all .
I promise either your votes I will work tirelessly for all members as it seems over recent years some forget it is a members club and not like Forest over the road an owners club .
Thank you for taking the time to read this and please feel free to contact me at any time

I wonder why they even use the term. "Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club", and for how much longer will they do so ?
ReplyDeleteWell he was chosen by the CEO
ReplyDeleteWent through the nominations revolving door as she was unsure, he may not have got the members vote
& let's see how many candidates this year have chosen the two door route
What a embarrassing process that's not fit for purpose
That is why the members need to take back some control memberships are falling , it seems the club is run by the CEO and her chairman with the committee who without doubt have the best interests of the club but have little final say .
ReplyDeleteThe hundred is replacing the 20/20 just look at the falling crowds last season .
Surely this is the perfect time to bring in all ages as Forest did years ago with kids for a quid matches attendances increased by 25-30% and match day spend revenue doubled and trebled
Same with county championship matches during weekends and school holidays give kids free entry with paying parents kids spend money from their parents pockets
It seems our great cricket club do not understand value for money of customer service we do not want more committee members of ex players , ex health services CEO , MBE’s , HR executives or public servants in general we need successful business people

There are 6K members eligible to vote. In usual years, votes are cast in the hundreds only. As members we all need to show the CEO etc that we care who represents us in the governance of OUR club. Every member should use their VOTE.
ReplyDeleteYes not everyone votes who are eligible
ReplyDeleteTo vote just like most elections,
This season votes will be diluted by the number of candidates standing
My personal view is only vote for the candidates who will be your voice around the table, you are allowed to vote for three
Candidates but if only 1or 2 represent
Your views, then don't waste a vote on someone who will not represent your issues going forward
