The lack of prior notice is poor - why can't these be advertised at the start of the season?

It is on the 16th. Hopefully play will still be going on. If the game is over, then it will have to wait to diners have finished. It may take time. As some of the diners in the Premier Suite, have to have their food cut up.

Dick Davies, reading out a reminder from Daren Mootoo about the Forum. Said that at a previous one, although accrediated with Media. He was denied entry, for being a non member.

How pathetic and petty. Dick Davies, only has to ask anyone who did attend. For a briefing as to what was said.

The knives will be sharpening, for the audacity of giving a reminder.

Dick Davies will not be trying to attend. Go for it Dick, make whoever is barring you, throw a tantrum. It will not take much effort to achieve.

When providing feedback. Follow the advice of the 1st Duke of Wellington. And publish and be dammed.

Daren,

For someone who said he wants to engage more with members, it's appears that you have stopped engaging!

Please let us know the outcome of yesterday's members forum as you promised previously.

Are there any more forums planned with better notice?

As requested previously, can you set out the process/constitutional process for removing the current coaching team?

What are the contract lengths of the existing team?

Please don't take this personally, but you will appreciate that members are distraught by the capitulation of this team and the hapless management.

It may be that pressure has been applied, not to provide an update. As they have used up their one trumped up charge reason on John Faragher. If there are threats. Say, is that all you have got.

Thanks Daren

5th highest wage bill, is astounding in itself, and yet we have offered a past it harmer 2 more years on well over 6 figures, unless it's on reduced terms.

Utterly crazy. Critchley has proven he's a better bowler now.

There are some players on far too much at the club not providing anything like value for money and causing far greater harm to the sum than their individual contributions make up for.

The club are doomed if that's there decision making.

Utterly utterly mad

The conclusions are

The Women's team. Waste of money.

A new contract for Harmer. Waste of money.

They have not worked out why, players do not wish to join yet.

More life members, means a one off source of income. That will never be repeated in the future.

Looking at the membership. There will need to be a few parking places, reserved for the able bodied.
