3. Vote on line.
4. I'm no accountant so not interested in the nitty gritty of the accounts.
5. At a lot of meetings questions are asked to which there are no definitive answers and a lot of what if and can we questions are asked or confidentiality would be brought into question.

Exactly this why many people don't vote, don't attend meetings. If there was trouble at the helm I am sure numbers would swell. It's really not apathy, it's more like a contentness with how things are going.

I think we are far more excited, about what's going on with the first team squad, more than anything at the moment. Who can blame them?

We are in this for the football at the end of the day.

Apathy
Apathy is a lack of feeling, emotion, interest, and concern. Apathy is a state of indifference, or the suppression of emotions such as concern, excitement, motivation, and/or passion

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 think the reason the attendance is going down is a hell of a lot of fans of Wrexham don't live in the immediate area, that along with Summer Holidays, some turning off football having a break from it in the Summer months, that plus apathy thinking their vote makes no difference, bit like a general election scenario.

Feasibility study into what?

Is this finally the "Millennium Stadium of the North" business case that the Welsh Assembly have been waiting years for?

As I previously stated, was just announced as a Feasability Study with no further explanation given.

I didn't vote because it was 7 out of eight or similar and I assumed the one not getting enough votes would be seconded, rendering the vote pointless.

Exactly this.

Its always important to take an interest in the activities of a club. Look back and see how many clubs have floundered and how many trust run clubs have had had problems.
So far Wrexham seems to be financially sound with people on board that you trust --- and who knows, the club, under their stewardship could be heading back to the football league.
That aside it doesn't mean that those who can, shouldn't keep an eye on how things are run. ask questions gain answers - Thats is what membership is all about.

To a degree that's already happening.
The more active members ask questions, some generated from comments on this board.
History tells us not to take anything or anyone for granted.
The Mills debacle has ultimately been a great learning curve for the club boards and will ensure future proper control over the manager and the budgets.
