BOARD POSTITION UP FOR ELECTION AT 2025 AGM

BOARD POSITION UP FOR ELECTION AT 2025 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

AGM - The 161^st Annual General Meeting of Middlesex CCC will be held on Thursday 10 April in the Thomas Lord Suite at Lord’s at 6pm. The agenda and 2023 - 2024 audited accounts will be sent to Members with their 2025 Membership cards in March.

One position of Member elected Director is up for election. The current incumbent, Mike Gatting, is not able to stand for re-election since, as per the Club rules, he has now completed the maximum three consecutive full terms on the Board.

We welcome nominations from the membership for this position. Ideally the Board needs someone with similar skills that Mike was able to offer, so we would particularly encourage members with relevant professional cricketer experience to stand for election.

If you wish to stand for election, please email [email protected] or write to Andrew Cornish, Chief Executive, Middlesex Cricket, Lord’s Cricket Ground, London, NW8 8QN for further information on what is required, by no later than 24 January 2025. All nominees will be required to complete an ‘Fit and Proper Person’ declaration form, which would also need to be signed by two current Voting Members as their proposer and seconder and received by the Club via [email protected] no later than 31^st January 2025.
