I would hope ...... that's hope rather than expectation ..... that part of the Bowden reforms (if any) would be at leastbe a press release after each Committee meeting.

Incidentally, anyone going to the Lords Christmas Lunch? £192 per ticket! I don't somehow think that's aimed at the ordinary members. Certainly not the retired ones, if I'm any guide.

maybe the club will come to regret closing the official forum...they cannot drown out the increasing calls for change and attempts to organise them.

I bought a pre 1940's, large taxidermy of a turtle earlier this wk. for less than that, including 21% buyers premium and it didn't end up in the sewage system the following day.

Sounds like it might be a suitable candidate for membership of the Essex Cricket Committee. It would fit in well.

Alas, dear Fire, I fear his rapidity in progress might inhibit him from being a suitable candidate for the ECCC committee

I just happened to have noticed that the link to this new forum on the official ECCC site has been removed.

Further the new forum will not appear on Google for some time so new membership may diminish.

This forum is on Google. Admittedly the new membership is down to a trickle at the moment , but given the time of year it's to be expected. Nonetheless, last month we had 1978 unique visitors, visiting a total of 5220 times. So it's not  going too badly.

Also , having just checked , this forum is linked from the OWS  - right top in red under forum as the OMB and now this one always were.

someone on here should volunteer to do, and have enough 'kudos' for them in speaking for the fans (ie a mod on the main esex forum) to do the county blogging bit for essex on cricinfo.

the current incumbent whilst in line with views here, only posted about twice all summer. by doing so the forum could/would be linked to many more people (well at least those who read the county blogs on cricinfo) as, for example, peak fan, a well known derbyshire blogger links his blog on his county blog on cricinfo.
