The following email was sent to all Trust members today following a resolution by a group of 29 newly-joined members which, if passed, would force an early election to the Trust board. It provides details of how to cast a vote on the resolution, if members are unable to attend the meeting on Friday, October 24th. The current Trust board is strongly opposing the motion.
Dear Member,
If you are unable to attend the Special General Meeting in person you are able to appoint a Proxy to cast your vote on your behalf.
In accordance with the Society Rules there are 2 options:-
You can appoint the Chair of Cardiff City Supporters Trust as your Proxy. If you choose this option, please forward this email to vote@ccfctrust.org stating that you appoint the Chair of Cardiff City Supporters Trust as your Proxy. State whether you want him to vote for or vote against the Resolution and then add your name and membership number.
You can appoint another member of Cardiff City Supporters Trust as your Proxy. If you choose this option, please forward this email to vote@ccfctrust.org stating the name of the member you appoint as your Proxy. State whether you want him/her to vote for or vote against the Resolution and then add your name and membership number.
The Resolution is :-
“That an election of the Cardiff City Supporters Trust Board be held within 30 days of this Special General Meeting. As part of this election, all current members of the Board shall stand down and may seek re-election should they wish to do so, following the Trust’s Election Policies and Procedures. Any Trust member who meets the eligibility requirements may also seek election in accordance with the same rules and procedures.”
If you appoint another member of the Trust as your Proxy, he/she will be handed a Proxy form at the meeting.
Please note that, according to the Society Rules no person other than the Chair can act as a Proxy for more than 3 members.
This email has been sent to the email address registered to the Trust in your name. We will not accept Proxy votes from any email address other than one registered in your name.
If you do not know your membership number please email members@ccfctrust.org and it will be provided to you.
