I watched, too. Worked well, nothing to add by way of report.

Given the situation i'm inclined to think that Somerset's minus 12 should be forgivn and forgotten.

Very much the same info has available in the members cricket magazine .
Everything on hold until date for resumption. Possible packages regards regarding refunds .

Get extra 1m from ECB from last season World Cup plus extra from prize money hence 750k profit.
No debt at present 2m in investments/ reserves .
45% income for this season comes from ECB .

If possible 6 game Championship - will have to go wth it.
If possible regional T20 might have 500 attendance but with members ballot priority .

Ground developments on hold.
New floodlights complete.
Only handrails to complete Riverside entrance.
Yearbook at printers and will be mailed out to members.
Colchester Festival - never say never but unlikely due to money .

Really?
The alleged 'ground redevelopment' that has been on indefinite hold since the day after it was announced.....some twelve years ago or so.
Bullish statements such as that from Faragher last year [or the year before]....that ECCC will build the 'best non-test match ground in the country' just continue this embarrassing farce. Perhaps some honesty, and mea culpa, just for once, may be the order of the day.

Interesting. It appears that No Change Essex are belatedly inching their way into the twenty-first century.
I challenged them on their opaqueness and disenfranchisement of members by not putting their members' forums online a few years ago to encourage participation and some openness. The abrupt reply received went along the lines of 'we can't do that!, it would allow anyone to view/listen in'.
So a welcome change from the previous long time imposition of deliberately timed dates and times that did their best to ensure as few people (who had awkward questions to ask..) as possible were able to attend.
