Dear Member,
We have received a number of representations regarding the Candidates' supporting documentation sent to members. Supporting documentation received from 3 candidates did not include their names amongst the personal details required.
Also, the Football Supporters Association (FSA) have insisted that we use sequentially numbered ballot papers issued to members. Some of our members expressed their reservations about this issue. In order to allay their concerns we consulted our printer who advised us that the specialist coloured paper used by him that is only available in the printing trade plus the specific return envelopes should provide the necessary security. The FSA were not convinced of this.
In order to assure fairness in the supporting documentation, we have corrected it to include the missing names of candidates and to satisfy the security concerns of the FSA we will reschedule the election with revised numbered ballot papers printed on different colour paper. Each member will now receive a revised pack. We have now put back the date of the AGM to Friday June 12.
In the light of the advice received from the printer regarding the ballot paper that was not acceptable to the FSA it has been agreed that the Trust will not bear the cost of the abortive mail out.
If you are yet to complete the original ballot paper and post it please do not do so and await the replacement.
