Middlesex responded with a statement that described them as "extremely disappointed with the outcome of the ECB's investigation and the sanctions which are imposed upon us." Barmy Kev got a bottle of wine quite early in the event and kindly shared it with me. I now owe Kev a couple of drinks; a point that needs stating and on the evening was oft-repeated. Of course those one day finals, were embellished by significant successes in the County Championship (to me it will always be sponsored by Schweppes!) and the John Player League but it was those limited over thrillers that inspired me and I am determined that my tenure as CEO will see more of them - days that supporters remember forever, days that make heroes. When I first met Chunky In Argyllat Lords , I encouraged him to write a match report for MTWD . Close to what seems like 100 years later Chunkyhas complied. Hestarts with memories on what watching sport 1923. Then we have an account of Middlesex Somerset game 9th March 1923. Our beloved game has changed so much. We look forward Chunky's next offering 2123. Thank you chunky for sharing. Enjoy.

Here is the start of three parter on Barmy Kev's unique perspective on the Middlesex roller coaster ride on achieving promtion. The panel discussion, with traditional libations before and during the panel, was quite lively, with Richard Scott and Shilpa Patel bringing very different perspectives to the questions. Sadly, Janet became beset with health problems from 2010 onwards, so her visits to Lord’s became a rarity and her reporting ceased. I had in any case retired from all formats of MTWD by that time. Not such clever scheduling on my part for this day (my own fault), so I ended up hot-footing it from the City to get to Lord’s on time. My timing issues were exacerbated by the early start scheduled (17:30) and a late change to the AGM venue, which was supposed to be in the Thomas Lord Suite, as last year, but was switched to the Nursery Pavilion at the last minute.This one was supposed to be in The President’s Box as last year (a suitable size of venue) but had to be moved to The Thomas Lord Suite (ridiculously oversized) due to some flooding problems and the need temporarily to relocate some MCC staff to The President’s Box. I was born and raised in Devon. My father was a supporter of Plymouth Argyle and Somerset CCC. For a reason we never managed to resolve, he didn't take me to see his favourite teams so I didn't become a fan of either of them. I left Devon and moved to London in 1980, my working life taking me into into the television, travel and mobile telephony industries over the next almost-40-years. I retired in August 2018 just before I would have been expected to work on a project installing 5G networks across the country for one of the big four mobile providers. Far too much stress! In those days I would sometimes comment on a group of people I would describe as “The Allen Stand Gossips”– a devoted collection of Middlesex CCC fans who mostly sat in that stand and nearly always had some gossip to impart about the players and/or the club. I soon learnt who Janet Davis was amongst that loosely-associated group. The Thursday mini works outing comprised me, Jez, Monique, Steph, Rich and Grant. That season, Jez and I were organising several mini-outings to the T20 matches, rather than the slightly larger whole team outings that became the norm in later years. The weather was especially good that June – as Monique wrote the next day:

Prior to talk about the successful season, discussion centred around the proposed new T20 tournament and Durham’s penalty relegation. MTWD have written up the forum, here. When the issue was discussed on a messageboard dedicated to the club, Middlesex Till We Die, it was met with a threat of legal action. The messageboard subsequently closed. Winding on 32 years and I now have the privilege of being the Chief Executive of this great institution and Club and sometimes I still have to pinch myself. Those heroes have become colleagues and friends and I know few people who gain as much pride and pleasure from their occupation as I do. Middlesex CCC is so much more than a Sports Club. It’s a family that looks after its staff, members and supporters in a way no corporate entity truly can. It has truly been a love affair for me. Janet’s match reports were often brimming with details about her life…details of her journey, her lousy neighbours, every aspect of the lunch she had brought with her, the posse of Allen Stand gossips who attended that day. Astonishingly, MTWD match report readers learnt more about Janet’s pussy (indeed several cats over the years) than the UK public ever learnt about Mrs Slocombe’s pussy, Tiddles, in Are You being Served. As a result, the ECB have demanded oversight of the club's financial plans going forward, which will limit spending on players and demand they show a "sustainable year-on-year profit". The plans will be monitored by the ECB on a quarterly basis, with them attending Middlesex board and audit meetings.In the period that Janet regularly reported matches for MTWD, between 2006 and 2009, she provided a great many match reports and photographs. As the MTWD team had advised me, Janet wasn’t the easiest contributor on our books.

Today's announcement from the ECB draws a line under the matter, and we accept their findings that historically, under previous administration, the club has been poorly financially managed over a number of years," they said.

The meeting part is dull enough, but it did give Chairman Mike O’Farrell an opportunity to rehearse Middlesex’s statement/position on the new T20 tournament with a group of loyal members/supporters, which went well.

A big turn out for the AGM with many AGM attendees staying on for the party and some there for the party but not the AGM. Middlesex and Lord’s have impacted me in other ways too. I first met my wife Lucy at Lord’s in 2005 and we had our wedding reception in the Committee Dining Room. My children have all grown up knowing Lord’s as a second home to them and love the association. They were truly born into the club. Looking forward, I am genuinely excited at the future prospects of the Club. We have a great staff here and a strategy that will deliver success. I can’t promise I’ll deliver the multitude of trophies that I enjoyed as a boy but I can promise that our team and I will give it our very best shot at all times. Anyway, I think the AGM started a little bit later than intended; to allow time for the bemused and confused (like me) to be stewarded to the right part of the ground.Apparently this was an age-old Seaxe Club tradition, but as far as I know it has not been done since 2009 (May 2017 is the time of writing). Subsequently, Ian Lovett and Mike O’Farrell have been remarkable generals of the club. I don’t think Ian and I will ever forget an evening we spent at Old Trafford in 2014, when relegation seemed a genuine possibility. We sat in the hotel bar at some unearthly hour both nursing gin and tonics almost too tense to talk, scared we would in some way jinx our team – a team that neither of us thought should be fighting to avoid relegation. Mike will be a brilliant Chairman, I know of no-one who is calmer in troubled times or has better judgement.
