Membership Matters: Note from CMG

 

12/01

If Pravda is working to the same timetable as last year, we shoild be receiving information about Committee elections in the coming week.

09/01

No mention from Pravda as yet, but our representative on the Cricket Members Group as distributed this memo:

Members of NCCC will be getting their voting papers soon as the AGM is on Monday 24^th February. I think this election will be crucial to Nottinghamshire’s future for a number of reasons:

1. There are four places up for grabs, three elected and one nominated.
2. There will be enormous pressure on those counties (15) who are still mutual societies, controlled by their members, to demutualise in the face of the possible/probable sale of English cricket’s assets via the Hundred franchises. County committees need to be formed of members who will put the long-term interests of the County and its members first.
3. The ‘turn-out’ for these elections at all counties is very low, so please do vote to show that we members care about the future of your club.

Nick is standing in the said ballot and I read on Facebook that Steve Battlemuch is also standing. I'm not sure if the gentleman from Ratcliffe on Soar has made the ballot paper.

Again demutualisation raises its ugly head above the parapet. It was also in the background of the recent survey by the Grumbler - here and all stemming from the ECB sale of H*ndred stakes and the sale of Hampshire to foreign investors.
