Officers of The Club
Presidents serve a twelve-month term (which HRH The Duke of Edinburgh has done twice) and cannot serve two terms in succession. Each President is required to nominate his successor at the AGM which takes place during his term of office.
The Club Chairman and the Treasurer serve a three year term. Both are appointed by the committee (but subject to approval of the voting members). Both can serve terms in succession.
The Secretary and Chief Executive is the senior employee of the club and is appointed solely by the MCC committee.
The committee consists of the above officers plus the chairmen of any other committees that may exist at the time of any meeting plus 12 elected members. Elected committee members are appointed for a three year term. An elected committee member cannot be re-elected upon retirement unless there is a gap of at least one year between terms of office.
The current officials (2012-13) are:
- President: Mike Griffith
- Club Chairman: Oliver Stocken
- Treasurer: Robert Leigh
- Secretary & Chief Executive: Derek Brewer

Famous quotes containing the words officers and/or club:
“I then went to the Parade. I saw the King. It was a glorious sight.... As a loadstone moves needles, or a storm bows the lofty oaks, did Frederick the Great make the Prussian officers submissive bend as he walked majestic in the midst of them.”
—James Boswell (1740–1795)
“The creation of “strong-minded” women, so-called, is due to the individualism of men, to the modern selfish and speculative spirit which absorbs everything within itself and leaves women nothing but self-assertion for their protection and support.”
—“Jennie June” Croly 1829–1901, U.S. founder of the woman’s club movement, journalist, author, editor. Demorest’s Illustrated Monthly and Mirror of Fashions, p. 44 (February 1870)
