I received an email from Graham Deasy yesterday afternoon saying he would take my emails to the TB meeting last night querying the lack of AOB and the matter of progress on acquiring 75% shareholding control.
How/why was this allowed to happen, it's unsustainable ?
It came out of available Trust reserves Elgy.
Something to muse upon.
It's not unsustainable to give out more than comes in during a particular year if it's only done when it's affordable.
What the Trust ought to be doing with its funds now that the Club appears to be fairly stable is, perhaps, a discussion that might be instigated by the Trust Board as a part of laying out a longer term set of objectives for itself. This might also be coupled with a review of how the Trust operates with a rather wider remit than the Adrian Ashton led report of 2013 ever attempted (or was allowed to attempt). There are other pressing matters that might well have had an airing at the AGM if there had been Any Other Business. It may well be that some of these thoughts coincide with what the Trust Board is thinking, though there's not any sign visible to Members that this is part of their agenda.
Thank you for the offer, however, it rather misses my point. Notwithstanding all the usual arguments about how representative of the wider Trust membership ExeWeb is, it's as good a barometer as we have and, that being the case, it pains me that just occasionally the Trust board can't recognise that and act on some of the sentiments that are being expressed on here.
As someone who's often picked up points raised on here and provided answers or forwarded issues to others at the Club or Trust to consider I think it is useful to be pro-active.
