Meade continued to play club cricket in England for Chingford, who had by 2007 been promoted to the Essex Premier League.[4] In January 2008, Montserrat were invited to part in the 2008 Stanford 20/20, where Meade made two further Twenty20 appearances, in a preliminary round match against the Turks and Caicos Islands and in a first round match against Nevis.[2] Against the Turks and Caicos Islands, he took the wickets of Henry Saunders and Chabbie Charlery, finishing with figures of 2/10 from four overs.
