Cheers. Didn’t renew as I’m playing pretty much every weekend and have very few holidays left after being away in Feb so pointless buying one. Off on Monday though so will head across
Appears as if they that's a deliberate effort to discourage attendance. They can then cease them claiming they're not worth holding as they're so poorly attended.

Must say that was my first thought
If anyone is able to go, would they mind asking the management why they didn’t give members enough notice of this meeting?

How much more notice would you consider appropriate?
Seems the perfect time to hold the first meeting of the season in my view
. Week before the real stuff starts, only real chance they’ll get to do it before the first proper home game of the season - on a day when players and officials will already be at the ground, two birds, one stone etc…There’s been plenty to whinge at the club about in recent years, but I just don’t see it this time. Seems like folk are whinging for the sake of it here like.

It's a wholly appropriate time to schedule it on a match day but one working day's notice indicates a lack of respect for members i.m.o.
The club projects itself as a community club- that implies mutual respect between members and management.
A pre-season meet the players evening has been held throughout the club's 1st class existence and is promised as part of membership package. This appears to have been withdrawn without explanation.
Again an indication of the contempt management have for members.
Respect is mutual and has to be earned.
If that's whinging so be it.
‘One working day’
It’s four solid days in advance, over a weekend, for folk intending to go to the game it’ll mean hanging back an hour after work - for those not bothering with the game it still allows them to go after play has finished. Seeing as it is ‘out of hours’ I would imagine most people who work will be finished their shift long before then anyway.
I could get it if they announced it on Monday morning.
Just proof that some folk will complain over absolutely anything

That's assuming that they pick up the notification immediately.Historically Forums are announced well in advance. Why such short notice? I find such short notice inconsiderate. I find the cessation of the meet the players meeting without explanation contemptuous. We obviously have different standards on what constitutes mutual respect.‘One working day’

No problem. Enjoy the season.
I don’t consider it ‘mutual respect’ or a lack thereof.
If it pisses down all day on Monday it’ll get cancelled anyway, so I suppose that I find it a bizarre hill to want to die on.
Have you told the club how you feel about it? Have you told them they’re not respecting you as a supporter/member?
Don't think you'll need to look far for that bizarre hill - dry and minimum 0° is weather forecast for Monday.
Informing management of their lack of respect? The membership renewal pack at the end of last season promised a dedicated membership manager to answer members concerns and receive feedback. If such an appointment has been made there has been no notification of such which would make it pretty pointless. Another broken promise?
I found the old guard -Cooky, Moxon, Gordon Hollins, directors Tommy Moffit,, Bob Jackson always a visible presence and readily approachable. North,who now seems to be the sole decision maker, unapproachable, antisocialable bordering on the ignorant. Yes, I am disillusioned at the direction the club is heading.
Master of spin! The club needs you.

Ridiculous short notice. Communication needs to improve between the club and members. I've said numerous times on here in the last 1-2 years but communication at the club has gone massively backwards and for me it's a major concern. There most definitely isn't that community feel that was right there up until Cook left. Years back we would know well in advance about such events, now it's all hastily arranged as was the one when I challenged Franklin last year. It really needs to improve. It's not the community club it once used to be.

They’ve just gone through a recruitment process for the new membership manager recently so I assume that’ll probably be the reason for delay, sure I saw the other week that one of the team left on Twitter. On the job description it mentioned about booking member events so hopefully we’ll see more events through the season!

Having made two phone calls (details left) and one personal visit, I still await an answer regarding delivery of membership cards for this season.
As regards Monday evening’s forum today’s email says that booking is not required just turn up with 2023 membership card
I haven't renewed my membership for the 1st time in 30 years as I'm a whinger but I seem to recall that new cards wouldn't be issued,retain last year's which will presumably be updated when you paid for renewal.Having made two phone calls (details left) and one personal visit, I still await an answer regarding delivery of membership cards for this season.

Yeah thanks for that, my query is regarding an upgrade from T20 membership (for my wife) to member and spouse, I’m unaware as to what the situation is and have tried to get information from the club without any reply from them.
Can’t even escape our lass at the cricket now
I’m already a full member.

North, Campbell, Borthwick and Ben McKinney going to be there and hosted by....Ash Thorpe.
I’ll take that as a no, then. I think? Hard to decipher really. You seemed to be answering questions that you’d imagined I’d asked.
