A Members' Forum will be held on Friday 15 May in the Price Forbes Indoor Cricket Centre, from 1:05 pm.
This will be an opportunity to discuss the results and feedback gathered from the recent Members' Committee Survey.
-
We do not need a Forum, to make clear the sensible members thoughts on the current position.
-
24 hours notice is totally unacceptable.
They should publish the results to ALL members.
-
Will the Forum, contain the following.
A statement, not a question along the lines of. I love Essex, or former player. Who is no longer involved with the club.
A debate on a subject, that has time spent on it. In inverse proportion to its importance. For example, problems with the scoreboard.
After the meeting has concluded. Two or three of the most objectionable of the older members. Buttonhole the CEO and Coach, who are trying to leave and get back to what they should be doing.

So one day's notice and 30 minutes to discuss matters that concern/interest members. The Board really do dislike the membership.

Perhaps someone could ask why 1st team men?s games have to be played on the edge of the square with Mickey Mouse sized boundaries.
-
Introduced to the members committee rep who have never seen previously, but where will the available ? Pressure on wickets with fifteen in the month. Another forum next month .
300k spent during the winter on Premier suite toilets, fencing, new gateway and updated electric supply on the opposite side of the pavilion.
550 did members survey. Less stewards due to rise in minimum wage . Online line voting available for forthcoming AGM. Safety Concern regards drones .
Summary of notes to be published on website .
Ground closure for final day due to low attendance of average of hundred , not sure if this included members.

Many home draws last season in Championship matches, we're played on hybrid pitches. I heard that some players ( Harmer, Porter etc) wanted all Championship games on natural tracks.
The 6 hybrid pitches are more towards the centre and far side, near the flats on the public side.
Hence the games on natural pitches are nearer the Pavillion, that's the reason.
-
What other county would force members to stand for 40 minutes in an echoing building with no PA system so that much of the proceedings were inaudible to those of less than 20/20 hearing?
How many times did our Chief Exec say "process", "future proof" and similar corporate bilge?
And since no bag checks were in force at the Oval 3 weeks ago, who believes that Chelmsford is in a higher security risk zone than south London?
Just asking.....
-
The Oval are doing bag checks now.
You can tell they don't really want to though.

Our batters can only make runs on flat pitches our bowlers take wickets on natural jungles.

Harmer needs those natural pitches to turn square if he is to avoid being regularly pumped. Ridiculously short boundaries to the Pavillon/Tom Pearce stand

So the broken toilet seat, in the Premier Suite ladies. Is to be fixed after six years.

How do you know its broken?

Is there still the old portakabin toilet at the Haynes Close End with the large turd in the middle of the floor? I must be getting nostalgic in my advancing years but I kind of missed that old turd.

To much information Andy .

I know the seat is broken, due to a couple of members telling me.

The marking is getting to me. Or rather the lack of effort put into the assignments.
-
Perhaps the two members representatives, that I have never seen before, present at the forum will now become more visible to those who elected them or least arrange meet and greet locations during games .
They are more than welcome to interact through this facility if required .
-
A member's representative, actually meeting the membership. The world is coming to an end.
