David Bowden in conversation with John Barclay

Today’s podcast features John Barclay in conversation with David Bowden who in December 2021 was awarded an MBE for Services to Cricket and the Community. There can’t be many of those who have devoted themselves to Sussex Cricket who have done as much as David has. Soon after retiring from a career in Healthcare Management, David became Chairman of Preston Nomads, having previously been the team’s captain and then helped in the creation of the Spen Cama Foundation. In 2006 David was elected as a Board Director of Sussex County Cricket Club and helped to bring about the merger of the Sussex Cricket Board and the Sussex County Cricket Club into Sussex Cricket Ltd. In recent years  David has been President of Sussex Cricket and  Chair of the Cricket Committee at the Brighton Aldridge Community Academy as well as being  President of the Sussex Cricket Society.
