OUR PEOPLE
Surrey County Cricket Club is owned by its Members, who then elect members onto the General Committee.
The Members elect a General Committee to represent their interests. The Committee consists of 16 members. Any Member can be proposed as a candidate. Typically an election takes place annually, with all Members given an opportunity to vote. Results are announced at the AGM. Members are elected for a four-year term, with a minimum two-year gap before re-election. Additional Committee members may be co-opted for a one-year or two-year term.
The Club President, Deputy President and Honorary Treasurer are ex-officio members of the Committee and are elected annually at the AGM. The Chair of the Committee is elected by the Committee from among its members. The Chair is also the Chair of the Club and the Board. The Board has delegated authority from the General Committee to oversee the management of the Club’s activities.
