Minutes of the Annual General Meeting Minutes of the Annual General Meeting held via video conference on Thursday 22 September 2020 Present Mr J L Faragher (Chairman), Mr I Patterson (Treasurer), Mr P Northfield (Deputy Chairman), Mr D Bowden (Chief Executive) and 171 Members of the Club 1. Welcome and apologies for absence The Chairman announced that we dreamed, we dared, we delivered. We are one, this is Team Essex. He wished all a good evening, welcomed everyone to the 2020 Annual General Meeting (AGM) and advised that the apologies for absence had been recorded. 2. Minutes of the Annual General Meeting held on 09 April 2019 The Chairman advised that the minutes, which had been previously circulated, were taken as read. The minutes were duly agreed to be signed as a true record of the meeting. 3. Chairman’s Report The Chairman noted it was strange to be talking about the 2019 season as we approached the end of our severely bruised and damaged 2020 campaign. He thanked the Members for their patience and acceptance of the situation. Covid 19 had an unprecedented impact on the global economy and the lives of thousands of people. At Essex County Cricket Club, our thoughts were with those Members, supporters and friends who had lost loved ones during the crisis. On a business front at the Club, there had been many changes. It had not been easy and in going forward, tough decisions would have to be taken, the Chairman assured he had every confidence that together, we would come through this crisis and be prepared for cricket next season. It was anticipated that the next AGM would be held around the start date of the 2021 campaign. Since the current meeting was not interactive, it was made known that there would be a virtual Members’ Forum via Zoom, on Tuesday 06 October starting at 6pm. The Chairman continued by saying that in 2016 we had a dream of where we would like to be in the coming years and 2019 would go down in the history books as a very special season at Essex. Without doubt we knew that the unrivalled success of the previous two seasons, 2019 was always going to be tough. Some might argue that in previous years we underperformed in the white ball competition and in all honesty that was how it was looking for 2019 but we all know that just about anything can happen in T20 and despite an indifferent performance in the qualifying round, we found ourselves in the Quarter Finals against Lancashire. It was in this game against the tournament favourites that we really showed some steel, coming from behind to win the game in very difficult conditions. It was on to Finals Day and what a memorable day that turned out to be for us. In lifting the T20 trophy, we again demonstrated just how good we are and that Simon Harmer and the team deserved that success. Worthy Champions indeed. Let’s be clear about our ambitions at the start of the season, it was to win all three competitions but firstly we needed to consolidate our position in Division One. Our first Championship match against Hampshire did not quite go to plan but after that, the message to other Division One counties was very clear; Essex are here not only to stay, but to win. Throughout the season we played positive and exciting cricket, the trademark of Essex County Cricket Club. Going into the last game of the season was an anxious occasion for the squad. We always knew it would be difficult to get the result we needed at Taunton. It was fair to say the wicket was, at best, interesting. The last hour was as tense as anything experienced in the whole season and in this particular game, Sir Alastair showed us all how to play on interesting wickets using the skills he developed playing in the Indian sub-continent. We managed to get the draw we needed, and the County Championship trophy was again on its way to Chelmsford. The first county to achieve the double, the County Championship and the T20 Blast, a truly fantastic performance. Not only did we demonstrate the strength and entertainment value of good county cricket, we showed that we can adapt our game to the shorter format and continue to entertain our Members and supporters. Under the outstanding leadership of Ryan ten Doeschate, Simon Harmer and Anthony McGrath, the players and coaching staff showed a passion and determination to win. By believing in and supporting each other, they continued to push back the boundaries in our achievements. Some of the highlights from the season include Alastair Cook with 100 first class appearances, Jamie Porter’s 300 first class wickets for Essex, Nick Browne’s 500 first class runs, Sam Cook had career-best figures of 7/23 against Kent, his first 10 wicket haul in the season, and Simon Harmer taking five wickets or more on 10 separate occasions. We congratulate and thank Ryan, who decided to step down as Club Captain, for his inspiring leadership both on and off the field. In parallel, we congratulate Tom Westley on being appointed Club Captain and wish him every success in his new role. It is always difficult when we part company with players, particularly anyone who has spent their whole career with us, and none more so than Ravi Bopara. Over the past 18 years he has made an outstanding contribution to the Club as a player and as an individual. He will always be remembered by Members and supporters as one of the great entertainers in the game. The Club thanks Ravi and we wish him well as he enters the next stage of his career. He knows he will always be welcome at Chelmsford. On the financial front, you will see in the accounts that the Club made an operating profit of £740,000 in 2019. This was predominantly due to our on field success and the continued growth of our commercial income on both a matchday and a non- matchday basis. In addition we have received a one off payment of £1 million from the ECB as a result of the Cricket World Cup. The Treasurer will go into the finances in more detail shortly. The proposed development of the ground is still one of our key objectives and the Club is in detailed and positive discussions with the ECB, the planning authorities and architects. You will remember that the previous project was terminated when it became obvious that the developer could not deliver both physically and financially on a programme that was acceptable to the Club. This has been a frustrating period for all concerned but it was the right thing to do. The next stage of the process will be to upgrade the player and spectator facilities in the Doug Insole Pavilion and hospitality areas. We will keep you fully briefed on the progress we make. During the closed season, a considerable amount of construction has been carried out at the ground. There has been a complete re-configuration of the River Gate entrance, which will significantly improve accessibility both in and out of the ground. Our food and beverage outlets have been increased and toilets facilities created. 12 hybrid wickets have now been installed and new LED floodlights have been erected. These floodlights feature state of the art technology and meet ICC standards, and will allow us to continue hosting international fixtures as well as first class cricket at Chelmsford. This fits perfectly with our objective to become a hub for the Women’s cricket in England and we are making good progress in our ambition to be an exemplar county cricket organisation. The Club recognises that grass roots and recreational cricket is a key element in the future of cricket and continues to work closely with Essex Cricket in the Community, as it works hard to develop new and improved facilities around the region, and particularly in East London. Dan Feist is to be congratulated on the development of this side of the business, in particular the opening of the new Leyton Hub last June, with Essex being the first county to meet this key objective set by the ECB. A very well done to all those involved. The Chairman thanked all Members for their support in 2019 and stated that Membership provides the solid foundation of Essex County Cricket Club and long may that continue. We are determined to build on what we have achieved over the last four years and the Chairman expressed his knowledge of the importance of a successful Essex Cricket to the Membership and all supporters. Finally, many thanks were given to those Committee Members who had supported the Chairman in the past year and who give their time free of charge in serving the Club. At the last AGM, the Chairman told the Members that in the last 40 years, we had won 17 trophies which was more than any other county. Now there were 19 trophies in 41 years which is still more than anybody else. Although the meeting was the AGM for the year ending last December, the Chairman thanked all those Members who, despite the fact that any cricket that had been played had been played behind closed doors, remained loyal and supportive of the Club. Essex Cricket would not exist without those Members’ continued support. 4. Treasurer’s Report The Treasurer reiterated the Chairman’s thoughts on the weirdness of the past six month, so much had happened and so many changes had occurred that 2019 seemed like a very distant memory.

In the absence of any Second XI cricket and the One Day Cup competition, the Bob Willis Trophy reports have been expanded to include a write up for each day’s play as well as the full scorecards. Sadly all fixtures were played behind closed doors so hopefully these extended reports will enable readers to get the feeling of actually being at the game! In addition, the Somerset Women’s team reports plus the Boys and Girls Pathway write ups are included in the first half of the book as they now come under the remit of Somerset CCC rather than the Somerset Cricket Board.

  • Leach Takes Three Wickets but Australia XI Build Strong Lead Against England Lions
    Jack Leach celebrates with Sam Hain and James Bracey Jul 16, 2019 19:36 BST Leach takes three wickets but Australia XI build strong lead against England Lions SCORECARD: https://www.ecb.co.uk/matches/10411 England Lions trail the Australia XI by 353 runs going into the final day at Canterbury after a day of mixed fortunes. The first hour of day three was almost a carbon copy of the same period on day two. This time, though, it was England who lost quick wickets to bring their innings to a close, 130 behind the tourists. Lewis Gregory and Jack Leach went for ducks, while Sam Curran reached 50 and then got out stumped to spinner Jon Holland. And Jamie Porter was the last to fall, lbw to Chris Tremain. Porter delivered with the ball early on though, having Joe Burns caught in the slips by Sam Hain. Marcus Harris and Kurtis Patterson added 73 before Harris gave Somerset spinner Leach his first wicket of the match, chipping the ball up to Dom Sibley. Leach then dismissed Patterson in his next over thanks to a smart catch from Ollie Robinson at slip. Robinson also picked up his first wicket of the match, and first for the Lions, trapping Mitchell Marsh in front for 26. Test captain Tim Paine batted patiently for 38, only to then get a leading edge to Leach, which took an eternity to come down into the bowler’s hands, bringing reward for bowling unchanged for the entire evening session. Matthew Wade, who scored a century in the first innings, retired hurt over the tea interval having taken a blow on the elbow from Lewis Gregory.

  • VW 19 Numbered
    No 19, August 26th 2020. The Virtual Wisdener The Newsletter of the Wisden Collectors’ Club n an ar?cle on the BBC Sport website Jonathan Agnew writes about the possible look of the England team up to the next I Ashes series. It is an interes?ng ar?cle and, for me, it throws up more concerns than ?cks. With ‘planned’ tours to Sri Lanka and India, the bang may well be in a stronger posiGon that at the beginning of the summer. Agnew praises the performances of Pope and Crawley during the recent Tests but the quesGon of Root’s poor form and his, someGmes, quesGonable captaincy are not addressed. The openers look very fragile and Agnew menGons Jennings as an opener in Sri Lanka or India as his record in the sub- conGnent is good, but a]er his Gme with Lancashire, not many Lancastrians will see him as an England opGon. He asks if Crawley could open on the same tours, but surely messing around with a player in this way is not conducive to developing a successful team. Crawleys double hundred should give him the security of the number three slot for some Gme to come. Archer has not had a great Test season and yet all the talk is of using him as a 5-6 over impact bowler. ‘Bowl as fast as you like and then come back in two hours’ voiced Phil Tufnell on TMS. I find that disturbing. Archer's fielding is good and his bang is ok, but aren’t we going back to the Monty Panesar days of playing a bowler in the hope he does what he is supposed to do… we would be playing Jofra in the hope (or belief) that he could take wickets with the new ball with high-speed destrucGve bowling..can someone show me the proof he has been consistent enough to warrant inclusion on that basis.
