Re the clubs plans for future development and the needs for Welsh Government involvement - Spencer Harris suggested that a document had been put together an I believe he said it had been sent to The Welsh Government.

Apologies i never picked up on the fact that this has already been sent to the Welsh Government. Is this right??

'The one person who wasn't elected to the board made a bit of a scene questioning the integrity of the vote as only a 10% turn out.

'They in turn only received about 28% of that turn out ask for all votes and voters to be published to prove the result.'

Who lost out?

They managed to gain 52 votes against 126 which was a decent result when one considers that their proposal was against the recommendation of the WST Board.

Adrian and Phils proposal (RES E) would have seen a considerable change to the way people are elected to the Football Club Board. Probably a step to far for members.

After the vote a suggestion was made from the floor that the WST board might consider some way of directly electing ONE ordinary member directly to the club board. That person would not be an existing trust board or football club board member. They would be properly nominated and elected by the membership and serve for a stated period .
the suggestion did not seem to be received well by those on the WST and football club board but they might look into it.

Perhaps Phil and Adrian might have better luck if they put that watered down proposal before members at the next AGM and who knows they might just win the vote.

Thank you for your report and observations. The number of members attending and voting seems to be going down year on year , suggesting growing apathy with Society affairs and procedure. I note your encouragement regarding the result of Resolution E but would point out that this resolution required a two-thirds majority in order to be passed. The figures showed such a majority the other way! I am afraid we will have to wait a long time before we see the sort of democracy we would prefer regarding WST elections.

I wonder if said person had actually been elected to the board on a 10% turnout he'd have rejected his place on the board due to the lack of integrity in the vote?

We'd be in a spot of bother if 10% turnout curtailed all elections as that's all the turnout we ever get for such things. The only spike I can think of was the vote to take operational control of the Racecourse, and even that was about a third of members voting.

Were there proxy votes as well , in which case everybody had an opportunity to vote?
Only apathy stopped them.

Think we are all agreed re the apathy. The question is what should be done to stimulate interest?
