Unfortunately I am unable to attend so this thread is available for reports of proceedings
I'm unable to report on proceedings in general, as I'm stuck isolating after catching Covid, but I do have the election results!
Julen Beer Ayo 446
Jon Beer. 351
Elaine Davis. 586
Nick Edwards. 360
Pete Ferlie. 404
Matt Philips. 288
Mick Sinclair. 217
Alistair Yates. 307
Julen Beer Ayo, Elaine Davis, Nick Edwards and Pete Ferlie are therefore duly elected.
There was a 26.78% turnout.
Personally, I'm disappointed not to have been elected, but want to thanks those who did vote for me, and wish congratulations to those who have been voted in! I'm especially pleased to see Julen elected, who I think had the strongest manifesto of everyone, my own included, and who I'm sure will be a great addition to the Trust board.

Very poor turnout - did evoting work properly ? If not we have no chance of achieving Project 6k and should think twice re Cliff Hill Dr developments.26.78% turnout is poor.
Congratulations to those elected.
Not so.Last time I looked the hustings video had 88 views on YouTube. The sad truth seems to be a large portion of the membership are not too bothered about the running of the trust and just take it for granted that everything is okay. As someone mentioned in the meeting it was easy at the beginning to motivate people because it was a real crisis that needed immediate action hence why we all joined the trust to save our club. I don’t know what the answer is. Some people like being on committees and this seems to be the people on the board. I don’t feel like an owner just a ‘guardian’ of the club. I pay my monthly subs but I’ve done it for so long I don’t really know if it makes a difference or it’s just a token gesture.
The hustings video was an "own goal". It came out so long after the hustings and so shortly before the close of voting that I am sure a great number would have already voted ! Whoever was responsible for this needs to hang their head(s) in shame. This must be improved upon in future elections. The failure of 50% of the candidates to even prioritise attending the hustings also spoke much of their lack of commitment. Why would members consider them worthy of a vote, or want them on the Trust Board ?Last time I looked the hustings video had 88 views on YouTube.
