General Committee Election
There are four vacancies on the General Committee this year; three will be elected by the membership and one will be appointed upon the recommendation of the Nominations Panel.
Voting forms and details of the candidates standing for election have been circulated by post to members in adult categories who are eligible to vote.
If you haven't received the postal mailing and it doesn’t arrive in the next couple of days, but you are eligible and wish to vote, please contact the club via the contact details at the bottom of this email.
The results of the election, together with the identity of the individual appointed by the Nominations Panel, will be announced at the AGM.
Changes to the Constitution
The General Committee have proposed a set of changes to the Constitution of the Club (known as ‘the Rules’).
The changes concern:
- small changes to wording to reflect a recommendation from the report by the Independent Commission for Equity in Cricket (ICEC)
- an update to the club's borrowing guidelines;
- an amendment to make explicit the club’s power to hold shares or any financial interest in a franchise cricket team;
- amendments to update the club’s conflict of interest Rule;
- a new provision which allows a member who has called an EGM to halt the EGM process, if they wish.
Dear Member,
Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club is seeking four exceptional individuals to join the Club's General Committee from March 2026.
Since 2020, the Club's Nominations Panel has worked diligently to ensure our General Committee possesses the necessary skills, experience and diversity to lead the Club effectively into the future.
The Role
The General Committee leads the Club's strategic planning, provides stewardship of its assets on behalf of the membership, and monitors financial performance against annually approved budgets and forecasts. These voluntary, non-executive positions require attendance at monthly General Committee meetings and relevant sub-committees.
General Committee members exercise their fiduciary responsibilities to ensure the Club's long-term sustainability and success. This involves making decisions based on a comprehensive analysis of financial, strategic and operational factors, always with the Club's future prosperity in mind. The role requires individuals who can balance member interests with the need to maintain the Club's financial stability and competitive position.
What We're Looking For
We seek individuals with skills, knowledge and experience across key areas including governance and compliance, strategic oversight, leadership, financial acumen, risk management, sports and cricket industry knowledge, stakeholder management and communication, and strong personal behaviours including integrity and collaborative working.
As part of our commitment to ensuring people from all backgrounds feel welcome in cricket, we actively promote diversity and inclusion at all levels throughout our county.
Joining the Committee
There are two routes via which you can join the Committee:
Elected Route
If you wish to stand for election, you must have been a member of the Club and entitled to vote for a continuous period of not less than two years on 31 October 2025.
Nominated Route
The Nominations Panel actively searches for suitable candidates beyond our current membership. Applicants via this route need not be current members but must join the Club if successful.
How to Apply
All candidates must complete an application form, which can be completed here...
If you would like to receive a hard copy of the application form, please email linda.allen@trentbridge.co.uk. Hard copies should be returned to the Chief Executive via: Linda Allen, Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club, Trent Bridge, Nottingham, NG2 6AG.
The deadline for applications is 5pm on 1 November 2025. Kindly note that we prefer online submissions where possible.
The detailed role profile outlining competencies and expectations is available here...
Selection Process
All candidates will be interviewed by the Nominations Panel in December 2025 or January 2026. The Panel will appoint one position directly, with the remaining three positions decided by membership election. Eligible members may apply through both routes.
Next Steps
I encourage anyone with the relevant skills and experience who is passionate about cricket's future to apply. We welcome applications from everyone who can contribute to the diversity of perspectives needed to guide our Club through the opportunities and challenges ahead.
Yours sincerely,
Claire Jamieson
Chair, Nominations Panel

Hi everyone
ReplyDeleteMy name is Kevin Lennox. I would like to inform you that that I am a candidate for the Notts General Committee. I decided to run after fruitful conversations with a number of members and David Gunn.
I also applied through the Nomination route and was interviewed in December by a panel of five. I used the opportunity to promote my marketing skills and knowledge as I believe that the Domestic Game has a significant Marketing problem. The promotion of Domestic Cricket must improve!
I certainly wish to protect the Red Ball game. The Ashes debacle has highlighted the fact that a strong County Championship is essential for the development of potential England players. I agree with the CEO of Surrey that the competition enables players to enhance their skills and develop the mentality needed to perform at the highest level. Even in One Day cricket one needs a more sophisticated strategy than “see ball, hit ball”. Last season Notts got the playing strategy right which is why we are the Champion County.
I am not a fan of ECB. The organisation has made a number of poor decisions over the years. Limited promotion of the domestic game, restricting England players’ involvement and selling the sport exclusively to Sky in 2006 are key reasons why Cricket has difficulties attracting interest. Football and Rugby have a terrestrial TV presence. I believe it’s time the Counties were more proactive in running Domestic Cricket by forming an organisation similar to the Premier League. They have the facilities and the players. They also provide the extremely valuable streaming service.
As regards my support of Notts, like you, I want all of our teams to challenge for honours. I want to see international cricket being played at Trent Bridge for many years to come. I would certainly encourage youth participation and development as they are the stars of the future, such as: Farhan Ahmed and Freddie McCann.
Communication with and involvement of members is paramount as you offer a myriad of ideas and expertise. I will lobby for Committee meeting minutes to be posted on line and the Agenda to be posted in advance so that members can contribute ideas.
I hope you will vote for me and, if elected, I will do my best to represent you and support the continued success of Notts CCC.
