AGM – Argyle Fan Trust
Before the AGM starts, I would like to make the following statement and it really hurts me to do this, being a great believer in the AFT and what it was set up to do.
Following this meeting, it’s my intention to post the following on all the media sites related to our club PAFC
I am calling for a vote of no confidence from our membership in regards the present board and also that that the election process is aborted at this time to allow for an inspection on the membership’s records.
With regards the election, one of the AFT members who I will not name has posted on Facebook regarding membership of the AFT and other matters. This was taken down but not before several people were able to read it.
With regards the board, being a board member is a privilege to act on behalf of all your fellow members and not a launch pad to boost one’s ego (this does not apply to all board members)
For the past 3 years plus the board have been failing on all accounts.
With the departure of the backroom workers of Bob, Sally & Paul the whole structure of the Trust has gone to pieces.
How many members know how close to extinction we were and maybe still are.
Whilst I am fully aware that being a board member is volunteer and non-paying position, there is no excuse for not following the SD guidelines (which Are’s has been out of date since 2016)
We are a Trust so why didn’t they go out to the membership and ask for help (how many of the membership has had an email or letter requesting help)
How many members have had an email or letter regarding your views on some of the decisions they are making on our behalf, other than the very recent one concerning safe standing? (this being near the AGM to appear being pro-active)
The Trust needs to go back to the principles that it was set up to do (Work for the supporters and the well-being of our club).
I would also add that I put up for Board but was rejected because one of my nominees was supposedly not a member (He is) and this is not a witch hunt because of it. An appeal has been put in concerning this.
I would appreciate the views of fellow members and if you agree with my views (which I can extend on if required) please advise me of your membership number and name.
If I receive sufficient support the action, I have stated above will be actioned
