Dimmie Fleming 2021 Award Citation (from Leicestershire):

John was first on the Committee in 1993. He has fulfilled many various functions including Chairman 2003-4 and 2011-13. He has been minute Secretary for 8 years in two separate spells.
He has been League Secretary since 2017. He had two years as Fixture Secretary in the 1990s and 10 years as a EBU shareholder.

Over the years he has probably been best known as a County TD.

That makes 26 years on the Committee and is well worth the Dimmie nomination.
