The Hampshire County Cricket Club undergoes a major change today (1 November 2001), becoming the first county club to change to a Limited Company. With effect the new board of Directors will take control of the business, Hampshire County Cricket and Sports Club Limited, with a new Chief Executive Officer taking over the running of the business.

A new corporate structure has been put into place, but the interest of members is still preserved. The Board will consist of Rod Bransgrove (Chairman), Graham Walker (Chief Executive Officer), Tim Tremlett (Director of Cricket), and three Non-Executive Directors: Mark Nicholas, Feroze ("Jan") Janmohamed and Nick Pike.

As a result of the new corporate structure a newly constituted Members Club will operate on behalf of the members.

Much work needs to be done in the completion of the Hampshire Rose Bowl, particularly the opening of the main pavilion, and all being well it is hoped that this will be complete for the start of the next (2002) cricket season.

More news on this, and future plans both on the cricket front and the stadium will be published soon.
