If you can find one then all well and good, if not at least every one has tried all be it in different ways.

Foxy won't take that challenge on. He will open up his little book of answers and say "It's not my place to look for investors. That's a job for the board" or words to that effect.

He does have a good point though. There should be a WST sub-committee set up solely for this purpose. Maybe Foxy could then join that and its double bubble

However if people don't like something then they can try and change things? As Foxy has stated he is a trust member and so as an owner he has the opportunity to change things doesn't he?

No not really. You can't approach 'investors' for a business when you are not on the board or have been appointed by the board. Its laughable to think anyone would take you seriously.

If the board want help, investment, gifts etc then they would either do it themselves or appoint someone to look for them with relevant authority etc.

Hence the sub committee idea.
