Help the club
"The Board are conscious of the concerns expressed by supporters and their wanting to find ways to help the club as demonstrated by the informal meeting held by some fans last week before the Workington game. The Club continue to feel that the message board is not an appropriate platform for discussions of this nature and would therefore like to announce a Fans Forum to be held on 24 July 2008 subject to confirmation. The purpose of this forum will be to:
• look at positive ways to move the club forward at what is proving to be a difficult time
• share ideas for ways to generate income in the short term
• create a co-operative board to compliment and enhance the work of the club
As you are all aware, the Board is a small group of people all of whom have full time commitments and are therefore finding it increasingly difficult to manage the workload. The Club needs help and one way of doing this is to form a Co-operative Board to work alongside the existing Board.
Any fan who is willing to attend a regular meeting, come up with ideas and help out in some capacity can become a member of a Co-operative Board. There will be no financial commitment.
Come along to the Fans’ Forum with your ideas and your support, the Club needs you.
We look forward to seeing you there."
