quote:Originally posted by Trust Board:Bridg4D_Pie,Thank you for your comments.As in the last news / Email release (See Below) the now depleted Trust Board have been working to put proposals together in time for the AGM scheduled for October. A date for the AGM is hoped to be released early next week. News Update/ Email release:AGM and MembershipPeople have asked us about membership renewal. The rules of the Trust are clear that people remain members until notified in writing by the Trust. This means that although the membership year is August 1st to July 31st - we normally send out reminders later in the year thus maximising the Trust financial resource. Current members will remain so until at least until after the Annual General Meeting.A big thank you to all those who have already renewed their membership.The details of the AGM will be notified as soon as possible.The Future Direction of the TrustAs has already been notified, the Trust Board is currently looking at where the future focus of the Trust should be. It is intended that proposals will be brought for members to discuss and decide upon at the Annual General Meeting.ResignationsFurther to a recent Trust Board meeting which looked at the ‘Way Forward’ for the Trust. It was agreed that a complete remodelling would benefit the Trust to adapt to the changing circumstances within our football club. In an endeavour to encourage new people to the board prior to the AGM the following resignations were offered.John Armstrong-Holmes, Eric Kerry, Paul Gibbs, Malcolm Bullard and Stuart Rolley.We extend our thanks to all the above for their positive contributions while in office. A special thank you from all members has to go to John and Eric for their sterling work as Supporters Directors over the last few years. Eric for guiding the re-emergence of the COE which is vital to the future of our football club. John’s unparalleled efforts will not, and should not, go unrecognised in the history of the Trust and Notts County Football Club! The Trust Board, its members and ALL Notts County Supporters owe him so much for what he has achieved for our football club in the last 2 years. We can all now enjoy the football proud in the knowledge that John and the Trust played a key role in delivering the ‘Impossible dream’.Any members who wish to be considered to join the Trust Board as part of the remodelling with fresh ideas to suit the new climate at our football club should contact: chair@nottscotrust.org.ukGlenn RolleyTrust Chairman

quote:Originally posted by Paul Swift:I was only co-opted to the Trust Board in July and attended my first Board meeting on 18th August. Whilst I cannot comment on the activities of the Board before this time I am acutely aware of the current difficulties facing the Board with five resignations in a short period of time leaving only five Board Members to take forward preparations for the AGM. With a number of us also taking holidays this has left us extremely short of resources. However, I am determined to ensure that the Trust both improves communications with members and is able to move forward at the forthcoming AGM. I believe that the remaining Board members share this commitment. Following the Board meeting in August a statement was issued (reproduced above) setting out information regarding preparations for the AGM, membership and the future direction of the Trust, as well as informing members of resignations from the Board. This followed an earlier update posted on 28th July in which members were invited “to communicate their suggestions back to the board, on how and in what direction they feel the Trust can help their football club progress in the future.” The Board have received a very limited response to this but comments received are informing the development of a strategy document that will be discussed at a Board meeting tomorrow and, once finalised, circulated to members for discussion at the forthcoming AGM. I am happy to talk to anyone who has any positive suggestions to input into this and will be in the Navigation before the match on Saturday.

The current Board has little credibility and two of it's five members do not even exist according to this website! Your priority should be to get nominations in so that members can choose those with a bit of energy and vision to pick up the carcass of the Trust. They will have a mandate to draw up a strategy to bring it back to life.
