Hopefully we will have a copy of the plans in time to show them.

We also had a plan going back over 2 years for platform 2 and we will present on that too.
Our man Andy Pierce and Club Director Phil Salmon also discussed another possible plan and we will talk about that too.

Wow, so many plans! Let's hope one gets agreed very soon and practical progress can be made.

Then we have been waiting for the DSA to arrange their AGM which is now tomorrow and I am attending to discuss the plans for platform 2, once the DSA have spoken to their members our plan as a club is to then set up a focas group where a small group including DSA representatives and club representatives like myself, then start meeting to get platform number 2 underway as quickly as possible now.
We haven't moved forward until now because we wanted the DSA to have time to discuss it, and with regards to the focas group a number of people have been on holiday, but now we are ready to start moving forward ASAP.

Many thanks for your comprehensive reply. Are the minutes of the Board meeting available to be read by WST members?

Appreciate you are very busy Kerry but disappointed not to receive a reply to my final question. I assume the answer is NO?
Does the Club have positive news to announce regarding the long overdue second Disabled Platform following yesterday's DSA agm?
Thanks in advance for your courtesy and keep up the good work.

There is nothing to announce Mr 26

The club have a plan on the initial stages of being drawn up. We have a plan that is fully drawn up by our architects.

Discussions are on going and obviously the club prefer theirs whist we prefer ours.

Either plan being adopted and built would still leave us at least 46 spaces short of Minimum standards for wheelchair spaces.

That is very disappointing.It must be very frustrating for both the DSA committee and the wheelchair users.

Sorry to have not answered your last question , but until it was brought to my attention today that I had been asked a question on RP, that I hadn't answered. I had not been on RP since my last reply so, I just hadn't seen it. I use RP as a way of getting news out regarding my role as some people have said they don't use social media pages as such but do read RP, so I don't come on here as much as my Twitter page or Facebook page.

Anyway regarding the minutes I have looked into whether they are available yet to read but unfortunately not, the trust minutes that have been currently posted mention that they have invited DSA members and myself in to the next meeting, so I am sure within time those minutes will also be available, just not as yet.
I will always try very hard to answer people as promptly as possible, but on occasions I do try and have a football free day, today being one of them.
Many thanks

How many spaces are the DSA proposing? How many are the club proposing? I assume from your comment its the same amount?

The club tell us their proposal has 16 spaces but we haven't seen the detail to be able to confirm that. (Glyndwr told us platform 1 would hold 10 but WCBC would not allow it for instance).
Our proposal is for one with 10 spaces professionally drawn and in consultation with WCBC.
