Members' Forum 2017

My fear has always been that this forthcoming Members Forum is just a fait accomplis, and Lisa will just tell the membership that she backs the plan and there isn't an alternative and everyone is to lump it! County Cricket will be further marginalised and will wither and died a slow death over the next ten years with Test Cricket being replaced by more of the same T20 thrash and crash trash! 

Possibly there will be a split in the sport, T20 going one way and Proper cricket taking a different route....

Or maybe you have a differing opinion.


Do you know that there's a Members' Forum in January?


With the winter edition of the Covered Magazine, Nottinghamshire members would have also received a letter from the club.

However, there were two different letters sent out to members, but each member only received one of the letters, not both: one from Lisa Pursehouse inviting you to a Members' Forum in the Randall Suite on January 23rd at 7PM, the other from Bev Soar, spinning the benefits of club membership with no mention of the Forum.

As I received only the letter from Bev, I don't know what else was included in the Lisa letter - perhaps someone would like to share - I'll post it below if someone wishes to send it to me.

I doubt there's any great conspiracy, it's probably the case that those that have renewed early have had the Lisa letter, whilst those that wait for the new year before renewing have had a letter encouraging them to renew from Bev.

Members, with strong views about the intended drastic changes to the whole county game, memberships renewed or not, would perhaps be encouraged to get down to the ground on 23rd January, especially as Lisa does appear to be misrepresenting us in talks. Of course, you may be excited by the prospect of Nottingham Sheriffs or whatevers taking centre stage at Trent Bridge, whilst the county championship is reduced to a handful of games in the spring and then in the autumn.
