Eligibility

Resolutions 1 & 2 - All current members and Life Members, are eligible to vote.

Resolution 3 - Existing senior playing members who have played senior cricket in the 2022 season, General Committee Members and Life Members are eligible to vote.

For all voting and to stand for a role, no membership payments must be outstanding.

Junior Members (anyone aged 17 and under) are not eligible to vote.

Members standing for a role, are eligible to vote for that role.

Multiple nominees

Should multiple people stand for any of the roles, the chair will speak to all parties prior to the meeting. Should it be needed, there shall be a secret ballot. Ballot papers will be issued, asking for the choice of nominee as well as the name of the member. Only the Chair and anyone required to support the counting process will be privy to these ballot papers.

In instances where three nominations have been received, there will be two rounds of voting:

Round 1 will be used to eliminate the candidate with the least number of votes

Round 2 will be used to cast deciding votes on the final two remaining candidate

Quorate and Quorums

No resolution passed at an EGM shall be valid unless 15 members shall be present when the vote is taken. Should there be less than 15 members present, the EGM will be cancelled.

Resolution 1 - To succeed, this resolution shall be passed by at least two thirds of the members present.

Resolutions 2 & 3 - As these are official position votes, the successful candidate does not need to secure two thirds of the votes cast. In a two person vote, they need a simple majority.

As outlined previously, if there are 3 nominated candidates then there will be a 2 round voting system in place, with a simple majority required by the winner in Round 2.

Proxy Voting

Sadly, there is no recourse in the club rules to allow for proxy voting. Only members in the room are eligible to vote.

Regards,

Michael

Michael Beech
Chair
Mottram CC

Mottram Cricket Club is pleased to confirm that Nigel Corless has been elected as the new club chair , following a vote of members at an EGM on Monday 10th August. Nigel now takes over the position from Ayrton Fielding, who has stepped away from the role due to family and work commitments. The committee would like to thank Graham Holt for also standing to be Chair. Graham is a life member, who has previously held the Chair and President roles at the club. Nigel is a well-known face around the club who was already serving on the Committee as Grounds and Facilities Lead. He is also lead coach of our Women’s Team and a regular member of our Over 40’s team. Speaking to members at the EGM, Nigel said: "Being chair of this club is a privilege and a huge responsibility. It is not just about standing at the front and directing, but standing behind the club and ensuring it thrives for future generations . We have 7 seniors teams, including 2 women's teams and a growing, successful junior section. I think with some further developments, on and off the field, we can realise the full potential of our club and create a legacy that lasts well beyond any single season ." Stephen Scott was also confirmed as the new Junior Cricket Lead at the EGM. Stephen is the current 4th XI captain and will continue in this role alongside his new role with the junior set-up. He replaces Chris Green-Buckley who remains 3rd XI captain but has stepped down from the junior role due to increased work committments On being confirmed in the role, Stephen said: "I am very excited and proud to be taking up this role. I have seen first hand as 4th XI captain and a parent, the good work that has gone into the junior set-up over the past few years. I am looking forward to getting stuck in and helping take it to new heights. Thank you to Chris for his hard work and leaving it in an exciting position."
