Dear Leo,
Please find here the agenda for our 2018 Annual General Meeting to be held on October 18 at the Jonny-Rocks Stadium.
At the meeting we will give you an update on an eventful year for the Trust, receive our accounts for the past 12 months and ratify our recent election process.
We recently confirmed that due to the number of available places on the board being greater than the number of applications that there would be no formal election at the AGM.
Therefore, Dave Beesley, Leo Hoenig and Nathan Mattick were duly elected to serve for another two-year term on the Trust board.
Following the business part of the evening, we are thrilled to announce that Cheltenham Town manager Michael Duff and chairman Andy Wilcox will be attending an open forum.
This is the first chance for fans to meet and chat to both the new chairman and manager and we hope this will prove to be a valuable exercise in bringing the club and fans closer.
The meeting and forum is open to both Trust members and non-members, although only Trust members will be allowed to speak during the formal business of the evening prior to the forum.
Finally, the Trust board would like to thank you for your continued support.
Yours faithfully,
Dave Beesley
Fan Elected Director and Acting Trust Chairman.
Trust AGM
Moderators: Admin, Ralph, asl, Robin

Re-arrange the whole event. If it goes ahead without him there won’t be a Q&A til next year.
I wonder if involved in the emergency repairs on GWR after recent events?

If he can't make it because of work so be it. The Manager and Elected Director will be there.

Absolute joke. You can see where the chairman's priorities lie. We need someone who's 100% committed not someone who sees it as a hobby.

"Man who runs a business that makes millions and employs (I'm guessing) hundreds, accused of being not fully focused on spending that money."
Hmm...

I look forward to I LOVE CTFC offering his free services at the Trust AGM. Our Chairman meanwhile will be taking care of his business without which he would not have the money or knowledge to be Chairman. Being Director of a Div 2 club is a hobby.

You wouldn't see Paul Baker missing an AGM meeting. It's a chance for fans to ask him questions, the date has been set for a long time, surely he would know it was important for him to attend.

It is first and foremost the Trust AGM, not a fans forum, so I wouldn't cancel just because the chairman can't make it (disappointing as that is).RegencyCheltenhamSpa wrote:Re-arrange the whole event. If it goes ahead without him there won’t be a Q&A til next year.
What's to stop a separate Q&A being arranged at a later date? It doesn't have to wait until the next AGM.

Yes you are correct. My comment was knee jerk and ill-thought.Jerry St Clair wrote:It is first and foremost the Trust AGM, not a fans forum, so I wouldn't cancel just because the chairman can't make it (disappointing as that is).RegencyCheltenhamSpa wrote:Re-arrange the whole event.

On an aside, has the Trust ever considered holding the AGM say over lunch before a Saturday match or the evening after the match? I am sure the Club would make a room available.
Asking because those who don’t live locally or have other commitments meaning they can’t make midweek are most likely to be in Cheltenham/WR on matchdays? Maybe a quick email survey of members after the next AGM to ask preferred day for future meetings?
Our chairman thinks he is bigger than the clubkiaora84 wrote:Club have just tweeted to say the new chairman is now unavailable due to business commitments absolutely pi$$ poor from him.
He continues to distance himself from the fans and lacks any form of respect.
Obviously too busy negotiating the next highly profitable rail deal
Come back Paul Baker!!!!!!

Nothing wrong with running a successful business - more important in the grand scheme than a fans forum.
Well they were hardly going to say anything bad about their boss in public were they.RegencyCheltenhamSpa wrote:Positive comments from PG and MD about AW at the Fans’ Forum.Horteng wrote:Our chairman thinks he is bigger than the clubkiaora84 wrote:Club have just tweeted to say the new chairman is now unavailable due to business commitments absolutely pi$$ poor from him.

Paperboy needs to swat up on the role of Directors. I don't suppose he would make that comment in public. Pathetic.

As PG pointed out, PB pretty much only worked and did business in/from Cheltenham, whereas AW operates nationally a lot more. In terms of losing the Little Old Cheltenham tag and building national profile / broadening horizons this is a good thing imo.Artemis wrote:This just re-enforces the good fortune the club had to have PB as chairman for so many years.
I don't think AW is doing anything abolutely wrong, it's just that in comparison to PB is not the same.

What difference does that make Paperboy?
Clearly none to someone who who doesn't know that one SWATS a fly, but SWOTS at Uni.

“Did you not see the emoji” is a very weak defence.
"As PG pointed out, PB pretty much only worked and did business in/from Cheltenham, whereas AW operates nationally a lot more. In terms of losing the Little Old Cheltenham tag and building national profile / broadening horizons this is a good thing imo."
Well no surprise there RCS. Lets just blow with the wind.... Jury out big time this end.

I didn’t say his descison making, communications, and releasing statements only to contradict them two days later is any good or been good for the Club - was purely commenting on attendance at the Forum, not on the whole of his tenure to date.plymrob wrote:"As PG pointed out, PB pretty much only worked and did business in/from Cheltenham, whereas AW operates nationally a lot more.

In my eyes, still some way to go to make up for Checkatrade pricing, the post-Morecambe statement to post-Macclesfield affair, and the lack of comms during the recruitment process. So I agree re: the location of the jury.
