Yes but what's the harm in using other platforms as well ? The candidate says he would like to increase Trust member numbers well it isn't going to help that worthy cause by only using the Trust website.

Of the five trustees who are standing down, three are not up for election so a big thanks to Martin Weiler, Paul Farley and Chris Philips for all their efforts over the year. I'm sure others will be able to add more details but I know that Paul was already involved in the Trust and the Club when I was still living in Exeter 12 years ago.

Electioneering should be done on the Trust website where ALL trust members - the voters - have access, rather than Exeweb which has a limited audience. Even dear old Pete, an Exeweb stalwart, is not a trust member!
Apologies but, not to put too fine a point on it, I think you're talking gibberish.

I don't have any idea how many people look at the Trust website on anything like a regular basis but I'd wager a lot of money it's a fraction of the number who look at ExeWeb. In any case, it's plainly nonsense to suggest that some Trust members are excluded from accessing this site.

The Trust's continued success depends on its ability to speak to, and engage with, as many people as possible. With that in mind, I think it's great to see Ed Gallois making the effort to engage with members and would-be members, be it here on ExeWeb or on any other platform where there might be any interest in what they have to say. To suggest that you won't entertain voting for someone because they've shown a bit of gumption is IMO about as counterintuitive as it gets.

You're entitled to your opinion and i am entitled to mine, so i still won't be voting for him regardless of your opinion.

I won't be voting for anyone who doesn't seek the opinion of Exewebbers.

If ever there were an advertisement not to join the trust...

I bet the trust website is flush with visitors.

Sends worrying signals that, at heart and in an ideal world, for the whole election thing should be the exclusive preserve of a small and self-selecting clique.
