If you are a trust member you should have got an email with a link. (Check your spam/junk file).How you go about voting?
Thanks, I haven't received the email. I'll contact the trust.If you are a trust member you should have got an email with a link. (Check your spam/junk file).
Personally I consider that a well written manifesto is all that is needed to base a vote on and hustings as such are not really necessary.
I am posting to address a recent misunderstanding regarding my candidacy for the Trust election, and I want to ensure that accurate information is available to our football supporters community here on Exeweb and beyond.
I am deeply committed to the Trust and firmly believe that my participation will contribute to a brighter future for our football club. To provide some context, I am a support bar staff member at the club, and before officially entering the election, I had conversations with HR and management to discuss my candidacy. Their support, including that the HR & Trust Secretary, was unequivocal.
Furthermore, my work schedule was set before formally expressing my intention to run for the election. Upon receiving confirmation of my candidacy, I promptly communicated with the secretary about my availability for the proposed Hustings date. In an effort to make the event as accessible as possible, I suggested moving it to a Saturday following one of our home games, a suggestion that would have allowed all candidates, including myself, to participate conveniently.
Unfortunately, this suggestion was not accepted, and I found myself excluded from the Hustings. I made several requests for my proposal to be shared with all candidates privately via email through the secretary, but regrettably, this did not happen.
What distresses me most is the misinformation that was circulated by Pete here on Exeweb who is a trustee, claiming that I withdrew from the event at the last minute. This is entirely untrue and unacceptable. I have always been eager to answer any questions posed to me and would have been more than willing to do so on the spot during the Hustings.
I kindly ask you to take a moment to read my manifesto and consider voting for me in this election. I understand that some may have already cast their votes, potentially influenced by the false belief that I made myself unavailable. I urge everyone, whether you are a Trust member or not, to engage in this critical decision-making process.
I appreciate your time and support, and I am genuinely saddened that I had to respond to this situation in this manner. Together, we can work towards a brighter future for our community football club.

As someone who has both been a candidate and has run a Trust Board election, I tend to agree.Personally I consider that a well written manifesto is all that is needed to base a vote on and hustings as such are not really necessary.
