<\/br> Meeting agreed they were a true record.<\/p>\n <\/br> \u00a35,845 in the account with income of approximately \u00a3790 per month from standing orders.<\/p>\n <\/br> Membership at 107 – that is assuming all annual fees and standing orders have gone through.<\/p>\n <\/br> Membership secretary explained that the records were now on an Access database which provided flexibility in providing data. He agreed that a copy of the database should be emailed to Treasurer each month. This would provide a back-up.<\/p>\n <\/br> There was some doubt as to whether a board had in fact been set up to oversee this. The trust had been invited but had heard nothing since.<\/p>\n <\/br> Chairman noted that Secretary had most of required information and asked any of those who had not responded to do so.<\/p>\n <\/br> Chairman confirmed he had written letters of thanks to Scott Thomson and Scott Davie.<\/p>\n <\/br> Board felt that the survey as it stood was too long eg 5 questions about food and drink.<\/p>\n The key was to get a good response rate – had to be expected that fans would complete survey at halftime – therefore had to be maximum completion time of 10 minutes.<\/p>\n Do we need to supply pens?<\/p>\n Important that the survey was publicised – had to be marketed as Trust taking initiative and offering this unique opportunity to fans.<\/p>\n Questionnaires would be handed out at Cowdenbeath home game on 8th March.<\/p>\n It was hoped that some 400 responses would be achieved.<\/p>\n Chairman confirmed that Ken Foster would be seeking alternative sources of funding to raise his fee to \u00a31500. Trust had already handed over a “retainer”\u009d of \u00a3500. (This fee is considerably less than would have been the norm in the open market.)<\/p>\n <\/br> Agreed that Thursday 8 May would be suitable.<\/p>\n Auditors would need to be appointed<\/p>\n All material to be posted by 7\/8 April – this would ensure a full four weeks notice for members<\/p>\n <\/br> No date yet<\/p>\n Thought that it would be useful for Trust Board to attend and ask some questions re the accounts\/debts. Several members of the Trust Board had shares and could attend in their own right. Also someone could attend to represent the Trust.<\/p>\n <\/br> Those that had attended felt it had been an excellent, well-organised event and that they had picked up useful information from the various sessions and workshops.<\/p>\n <\/br> Chairman gave a brief update on the questions which the Trust had sent to the Board<\/p>\n Eric Drysdale (ED) had contacted chairman and informed him that the relevant board meeting had lasted 3\u00bd hours and the Trust topics had not been discussed.<\/p>\n <\/br> Attendees: George Howie, James Proctor, Blair White, Neil Langtree, Collas Pilmer, Apologies: Eddie Doig, Tom Phillips, Chris McFarlane, Alan Russell<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":22,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-80","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-minutes-board-meetings"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.raithtrust.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.raithtrust.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.raithtrust.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.raithtrust.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/22"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.raithtrust.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=80"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.raithtrust.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.raithtrust.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=80"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.raithtrust.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=80"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.raithtrust.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=80"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
