It's really unfair to people who live far away now and would have to get a hotel overnight to attend.

 How expensive does a zoom cost ?

It is in person only. So that only those with a vested interest and Essex CCC fanboys and girls are able to attend. The ones who would sell all their furniture, to support the club.

Afternoon everyone!

 A reminder voting is still open for board positions ahead of Monday?s AGM. Please can everyone who is a current member use their vote? I don?t care if you look past my name (I?m one of the club?s preferred candidates), but to keep the club going as a members club, everyone should use opportunities like these to participate. It would be great to see a decent number of votes collected and have members show they want to be key in helping decide the club?s future. Thanks!

I will be voting but not for any of the recommended candidates. The current Board should not be rewarded for their stewardship of the club in recent years.

I have not received any emails. Also, nothing has arrived in the post.

As I have had my enjoyment of every Championship game ruined by one member, who is on the spectrum. Also, a few others to a lesser extent. I think I will check out of the rubber room.

E-mail says 'For further information, you can contact the Membership & Ticketing office on 01245 254010 between 10am-4pm, Monday-Friday.' I suggest phoning.

With his claimed behaviour. Will someone say to, a candidate for the committee. I did not get where I am today. Every item that is passed. To be greeted by exclamations of great and super.

I take it, the AGM is over. To quote another character. The report of what was discussed. Is, I have not got the foggiest.

The Grumbler who, when BBC Essex read out his missives. Which are about nothing worth grumbling about. Shows, by standing for the committee, that he is so far up the behind of Essex CCC. That anyone following him, will only see the soles of his shoes.

'The three members elected to the Club Board in alphabetical order are; Jason Gallian, Jamas Hodivala KC and Daren Mootoo.

The member elected to the Members? Committee is Michael Curtis.'

'Following the Annual General Meeting held at the Ambassador Cruise Line Ground on Monday 20 July, Jason Gallian informed the Board that he would be standing down as Chair, but would continue his role on the Board and in his role as Chair of Cricket.'

You paint quite the picture. Enjoy your 15 minutes of 'fame' before the mods come calling.

Good on both counts. Darren is a top bloke, knows about the game and what needs doing to improve the club from both sides. The other chap, well there are plenty of yes men who just want a position already in the woodwork at the club.

Dear oh, dear. Are you having a bad day? Clearly you have not read any of my stuff.

Anyway, how about meeting at Chelmsford on a gameday to discuss? Always better to come out from behind the keyboard

I would say, meet in the River Stand. However, that is no longer possible. For the reasons of security downstairs. Which is the most feeble excuse ever.

Now, this and also the left-hand bit of Tom Pearce Stand, being taken out of use. Is something worth grumbling about.

The ground is big enough. Just let me know where you want to meet.

Thanks

As has been mentioned elsewhere. The ground is not big enough. I am not attending, the glorified 2nd XI tournament, called the One Day Cup. I may not be able to attend the Championship game, at the end of August. Due to health reasons. My teeth itch.

Okey-dokey. Well, just let me know when you are going next. Hope your teeth get better.
