Attendees: Eddie Doig, George Howie, Neil Langtree, Chris MacFarlane, Collas Pilmer, James Proctor, Alan Russell, Blair White<\/p>\n
Apologies: Tom Phillips<\/p>\n
<\/br> 95 members<\/p>\n Finances \u00a34571.90 in the account as of 23\/09\/02 (\u00a35000 payment to RRFC already out, first \u00a3350 not paid yet). No invoice yet for this season’s player sponsorship. Standing order income currently \u00a3698 per month.<\/p>\n <\/br> Registration documents have arrived!<\/p>\n Special General Meetings – accepted as an accurate record of the meeting, but due to their sensitive nature their distribution should be restricted. A full version should go to all members by hard copy, but an abridged version should be posted on the website.<\/p>\n Minutes of general meetings should have numbers of attendees rather than names in future. ACTION: AR to summarise SGM minutes for publication on website Minutes of last board meeting accepted.<\/p>\n <\/br> GH spoke to Eric Drysdale. Share certificates have now been received for this and last season’s investments, thanks have been published in the match programme and on the RRFC website.<\/p>\n Board have discussed in principle the possibility of having a fans’ representative on the board.<\/p>\n Notice board is due soon, JP has some material to be displayed initially.<\/p>\n Promotion of Trust – still no link on RRFC website. ACTION: GH to speak to Eric \/ Kenny<\/p>\n <\/br> Cambridge Trust have experience in this area if we want advice. No further contact from George Gemmill.<\/p>\n <\/br> Regular meetings being held, minutes distributed to board members. Starting to build a framework document with two sections – items needing work and items with solutions. Document will be 99% complete by end November which will be updated every quarter.<\/p>\n 2 scenarios where the business plan may need to be enacted – takeover by Trust, or retrieval from administration. ACTION: AR to publish appeal for professional assistance (legal, accountancy, desktop publishing, football coaching, activists – i.e. distributing leaflets and posters) with the SGM minutes and with fans survey.<\/p>\n <\/br> No progress due to holidays.<\/p>\n <\/br> No major changes, not being well used by Trust members.<\/p>\n <\/br> No progress from Bill Gilby.<\/p>\n <\/br> Keith Pitkin appointed to co-ordinate revamp of lottery. Executive Committee will be set up, RRISS have been invited to nominate a representative to act as Treasurer. Executive Committee’s role seems to be to resource allocation and rubber stamping decisions – day-to-day decisions will be taken by Ken Foster \/ Eric Drysdale. We need more information about what our role would be, and what we would be committed to (financially and otherwise) ACTION: JP to circulate draft constitution for comment<\/p>\n <\/br> Supporters Club are willing to do the administration, but are against pre-ordering and cautious about quantities. Tam Cunningham still to respond with a firm proposals – the last top sold less than 100.<\/p>\n Doesn’t look like there are plans for a Christmas shop. In principle the Trust are willing to fund purchase of stock as a loan – this would need to be agreed in writing.<\/p>\n <\/br> Stirling Albion launched a Trust in September.<\/p>\n Dundee United – Eddie Thomson keen to have a supporters’ representative on the board.<\/p>\n Hearts building momentum.<\/p>\n Plan to have a meeting in October with representatives of other clubs to build a closer network. Conference planned for January, with possible sponsorship from the Co-op.<\/p>\n <\/br> Final preparation for 27\/11: Saturday 23rd November, 5.30pm @ Novar Lounge<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Attendees: Eddie Doig, George Howie, Neil Langtree, Chris MacFarlane, Collas Pilmer, James Proctor, Alan Russell, Blair White Apologies: Tom Phillips<\/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-83","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\/83","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=83"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.raithtrust.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/83\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.raithtrust.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=83"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.raithtrust.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=83"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.raithtrust.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=83"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
