New Mr President .

 John Lever has taken over the role, with immediate effect, of the new President of the club.
He replaces Keith Fletcher who has done the role for the past three years.

JK is a good choice.

The news is slightly worrying that he is taking over 'with immediate effect'.

I was delighted to bump into JK and Ray East at the Cheltenham Cricket festival Past Players Day in 2019. Both were pleased to meet an Essex member at a match where Essex weren't involved.

Yes hope KWR Fletcher is OK. However it is January and the club is never very well organised at succession planning.

As I said on another thread Keith wasn't there yesterday when JK was announced as the new Mr President. I would have thought Gooch would have been ideal in the role, which isn't a dig at JK at all. I'm sure he'll be good.

It's  concerning. I've never known Fletch not to attend this sort of Essex gathering. Then stepping  down as President  with immediate  effect seems odd. Hope all is well.
