Only Trust members who were fully paid up on Sunday, October 27th 2024 are eligible to vote on any resolutions at the AGM.

Non members can attend but cannot take any part in the meeting.

As part of an ongoing governance review, recommended and being carried out by the Football Supporters Association, this year's Trust Board election will take place separately from the AGM.

There will be some changes to the way the election is organised and the process will be overseen by an independently-chaired Election Management Group (EMG).

Our Election Policy has been revised and updated accordingly, and we thank Nicola Cave, training and governance manager at the FSA, for her help, support and guidance.

Under the new Election Policy, Trust Board nominations will only be accepted from those who have been a fully paid-up Trust member for 12 months or more.

And in the event of there being equal or fewer candidates to the number of vacancies, applicants will from this year onwards need to be ratified by the membership on a majority of votes cast.

We will not be starting the election process for another couple of weeks but in the meantime, members may wish to consider what benefits and skills they could offer and bring to the Trust Board by standing for election.
