Action Required Today's Members' Forum at Trent Bridge All Members

 

Jeff Moore pledges that he will not vote for a reduction from 14 Championship games in any ECB vote.

Do we believe him?

I would like to trust him...

but his pal voted for The Hundred, and look what a mess that has got us into.

Peter Moores states that every player in the Notts squad is treated equally and everyone has an equal opportunity of playing matches.

That statement is clearly not entirely true.

Jeff Moore spoke of the petition (below) and those members that signed it with disdain and was disrespectful at the onset (to most members in the packed Randall Suite), he later went on to refuse democracy (a binding vote on these matters by the membership - the owners of th club) as he has been elected and has the authority - basically the committee know best.

Moore had got a rough ride and became a tad mardy but he and Pursehouse had managed to run down the clock, wasting much of the lunch break on a presentation that most had already read online before many left to watch the cricket. The meeting however went on for another hour or so.

Moore will stand down as chairman in February (he said that he'd made that clear all along).

So he definitely wasn't having a mardy tantrum...

Notts Members Forum 5th September

I wanted to update you on the campaign activity ahead of the members' forum on Monday lunchtime. If you can't go to the forum, then you can register to attend via Zoom using this link https://www.trentbridge.co.uk/news/2022/august/members-forum-register-to-attend-via-zoom.html? Recent CEO meeting It was a constructive meeting and the club officials understood the strong sentiment of the members.  Ultimately, how the club votes is a matter for the club's General Committee (GC). It is up to the GC to decide how much or how little weight to give any member vote on any reforms coming out of the ECB review process.  The GC do not want to give any general commitment to hold a member vote until such time as they have seen the actual proposals. EGM motion Around 450 members signed a motion to call an Extraordinary General Meeting of the club to review how the club handled these reforms and how they voted. The motion is to be submitted to the club's management in the event that they do not allow members a binding vote on any significant ECB reforms that impact the amount of county championship cricket played. The wording of the EGM motion is reproduced at the end of this update in case you have not seen it already. Decision to be taken after Members forum Please do go to the members' forum so that you can hear the latest from the club's management.  The campaign team will be asking the club's management whether they wish to give members a binding vote or hold the EGM afterwards. Please encourage friends to sign up  It is quite likely that major changes could be deferred into the winter.  We want to be able to keep in touch with as many members as possible. Please will you spread the word when you are next at a match and ask any member you know if they have subscribed to these updates.  They can do so simply by completing the short form here https://www.countycricketmatters.com/post/campaign-to-save-first-class-cricket We have over 450 member signatures but we only have 287 valid member emails so it is vital to collect more during the last few matches of the season.
