Re: Trust Board

Reading the 'Vitals' board it seems it may be too late to get someone to stand against David Beck. I'm sure he reads this Board, so please David, retire in accordance with Rule 54l, even if there is no other candidate.

I bet there soon would be if the position was vacant. Since posting this thread a few excellent names have been mentioned to me who have the time and total commitment to the Club. This would give anyone the opportunity to join the Trust if they are not already members, then apply or be co-opted to the Board if suitable. This would create a lot of interest and allay the fears of many people that the Trust Board is a 'closed shop'. It would also give David Beck the opportunity to stand again (a bit like John Major did) and see if he could compete with a new Board Member who maybe would not be as complacent.

An exiting 'manifesto' from a new candidate would see what he/she was prepared to do for Trust Members. Let's see if David Beck will rise to the challenge.
