We would like to thank members for their patience whilst we have been working through the issues around the AGM.

Voting is already underway in the SGM and invites to that meeting will be sent out tomorrow.

The AGM pack has now gone to the printers and our Election partner Mi Voice. Members who choose Email should get a communication tomorrow and members using post should receive their letters by the weekend.

In an update to the Election process you will remember that we announced that there were only eight candidates for the nine roles available.

Since that announcement one of the Candidates has been ruled as ineligible to stand as a Candidate by the Election Management Group (EMG). This was on the basis of the Candidate’s previous record as a Board member, when they leaked confidential salary information on social media.

This has brought the Trust and Club to the attention of the Information Commissioner and that investigation is still ongoing. It is still possible that we could be sued for this person’s actions.

It would send out entirely the wrong message to both the ICO and his victims if that person were to be allowed back on to the WST Board.

As a result of this decision this person has threatened the WST with legal action.

There will now only be seven candidates up for an affirmative vote.

Any questions regarding the AGM/SGM please direct to secretary@wst.org.uk.

There’s a glaring omission in their statement though, they haven’t mentioned the fact that the threat of legal action is because they are in breach of the constitution.

59. The Society shall have a Board of Directors comprising not less than 12 and not more than 15 persons.

Since the end of April, there has only been 10 directors on the board. All business that has been conducted since that time is null and void.

I ask all members to email chairman@wst.org.uk and secretary@wst.org.uk and demand to know why they are flagrantly breaking the rules of the constitution.

They can do what they like it’s make it up as you go and if you don’t like it tough .

Someone they didn't want then.

I can assure this forum that no such leak was made on any social media site or elsewhere regarding the threat of legal action from the candidate determined ineligible. There was no leak from the club or the Trust about the candidate either. False allegations such as this do nothing but harm for ANY of the parties involved, including the club’s fans that are mislead by them. I will have no hesitation in taking legal action against northwalian dragon for any other false allegations that he may make against me or any other person or persons affected by them. A formal complaint about his post has been made.

9 little ducks went swimming one day
Over the hill and far away
Mother duck said quack, quack, quack, quack
But only 8 little ducks came back.

This club is a laughing stock and so is the WST and Bored in my humble opinion. All views are entirely my own ha ha ha

May the farce be with us. Has anyone from the trust addressed the point about there not being enough board members yet?
