Sussex Members Approve Jon Filby Extension

Sussex Members Approve Jon Filby Extension

Sussex Cricket held a Special General Meeting on 15 September, where members were asked to vote on two resolutions relating to the Club’s Rules.

The proposed changes allowed a director’s term to be extended to a maximum of 12 years if they were elected as Chair during their second or third year on the Board.

Members voted with an overwhelmingly majority in favour of the resolutions.

Following the outcome of the vote, the Sussex Cricket Limited Board confirmed that Jon Filby’s term as Chair will be extended by a further two years. 

He will now step down from the Board in March 2028.

Speaking on his extension, Jon Filby, said: “I am very grateful to the members of Sussex Cricket for their continuing support and look forward very much to working with the Board and the executive to create passion for cricket in Sussex, to continuing the development of winning teams and to uniting people across the county through the power of cricket”.
