Wst accounts

£70,000 from subscriptions last year and £43,000 from other fundraising shows having the resolution to transfer up to 150k is certainly reasonable.

fair play to the subscribers giving their hard earned over while others give nowt and then whinge about lack of investment

In the timespan there might well be further income from the anticipated promotion to the FL but those monies would go direct to the club not the trust.

That income would be for the new 'assets' company though wouldnt it?

Seems a strange thing to vote on when very hypothetical.

There has been a debate on another thread about the benefits v costs of circulating promotional material in regards to buying/renewing season tickets.

I believe the argument for such a campaign for membership of the WST is a more pressing matter, as a healthy membership is essential in the long term and the costs of being a member is minimal. With such a slide on membership a real concern, i would like to see a plan/strategy in place to reverse this.

However on a very small point my membership had lapsed and i have just renewed now!

If I've read it right, the average membership paid is £22 per year. I would imagine that a huge percentage of members only pay the minimum of £12 (£15).
There must be a way that staggered membership be considered, to encourage people to commit to more.

I agree, there should be a recognised difference to say someone who gives £100 and someone who gives the minimum. That's not to say the ones who give the minimum should be punished or ridiculed in any way ( as this is what they may be able to afford) but there should be some form of incentive for a bigger contribution.
