The honours could not be presented due to the meeting being online. However, all will be presented with their Honours at an appropriate occasion after the current restrictions have been fully lifted. Due to the pandemic, the Leslie Forrest Memorial Trophy and the Johnny Leach MBE Most Improved England Player of the Year Award were not awarded this year.
The following Vice-Presidents were re-elected for 2021-24: Malcolm Allsop, Leslie Allwood, Mike Atkinson, Barry Chapman, Jim Clegg, Alan Cooke, Colin Davison, Desmond Douglas MBE, David Edwards, Brian Freer, David Goulden, David Hockney, Colin Hyland, Chris Jacques, Nicky Jarvis, Gail Johns, Ann Jones CBE, Christine Lewis, Philip Lewis MBE, Doreen Nightingale, Don Parker, Sir Jack Petchey CBE, Judy Rogers, Graham Rogerson, Sally Shutt, Brian Skinner, Peter Taylor, Geoff Twiss, Diane Webb, Gary Wood.
This is the final time that Vice-Presidents will need to be re-elected, following a change to the Articles approved at last month’s AGM which means Vice-Presidents are effectively elected for life.
