Supporter Director Election Up-date:
Just to up-date you all as at Thursday 23 September I have had 237 votes returned, almost 25% of the electorate, an excellent start.
When we have used Electoral Reform Services in the past they estimate a good turnout in such ballots as between 40% and 50% I hope that we can exceed this figure.
As has been said on the web site if you have not received a ballot paper please contact me at the football club on 0870 900 9229 or the BU line of 0845 166 7222 and I will look into it and if necessary re-issue you with a ballot paper.
The closing date for the receipt of the ballot papers is Wednesday 29th September. These events help to get our data base into proper shape and so improve our information and ability to maintain contact with our members through getting change of addresses sorted out and even tracking down membership payments that might have gone astray.
