Valley Gold Members invited to meeting

clive

I have just received a letter from Valley Gold, inviting members to a meeting on the 18th Feb before the Oxford game.
All members whose subscriptions are up to date are invited as long as they have not already attended with another supporters group.

Does this last sentence also apply to the upcoming trust members meeting?

Solidgone

A meeting for what?

clive

The letter does not say,it says the football club have been holding supporters meetings & Valley Gold have been invited on Feb 18th.

Solidgone

I assume it's a KM meeting but what has she got to do with VG?

No it absolutely doesn't apply. It was the Club who insisted that the Trust meetings must be open to all our members (in a normal club, Trust board reps are mandated to do that), so in the end we decided, fine, let them have a double dose of @Covered End :-)

But it would be good for members to try and connect up to co-ordinate questions, indeed why not build on answers you got, or didn't get, at previous such meetings?

Prague, it wouldn't surprise me if there are a fair number that want to attend the Trust meetings that KM/the cloob don't say that those who have attended another meeting cannot attend. They can easily do this as they have a record of attendees, in fact you have to be given a pass to the lounge concerned, and the Trust I'm sure will be asked for attendees names in advance. Hope not but wouldn't surprise me.

Both of them?

Oxford are still in the FA Cup with a winnable game against Birmingham/Newcastle. So the game on the 18th Feb could be postponed.

Is this where it turns out that due to a previously unrealised clause the Lookman money because of his age when he signed and not much had to be spent on his development before he started playing for the first team technically belongs to the current VG members and KM is looking to see how they want it distributed ? Cash, cheque or a big party somewhere sunny ?

The letter says the room holds 35 people if more than that wish to attend another date will be arranged.

Well, I can't speak for the rest of the the Board at this stage, but I believe we will tell them to stop telling the Trust how to organise its meetings. They have already done it once by insisting that we make it an open meeting. In doing so they showed either ignorance or insolence. A Trust is a democratically constituted organisation which elects its Board to represent them. Nevertheless we thought on this occasion we will open it to our members, in case somebody misinterpreted it. But of course we observed then that it would mean there could be some chance for people to have a second bite. And of course @Airman Brown is a Trust member... the Club should have thought of that before insisting on it being an open meeting.

Maybe asking VG members to send in questions so that the most popular ones can be asked ?

Steve Avory appointed to Valley Gold committee
Charlton Athletic Academy Manager Steve Avory has been appointed to the Valley Gold Committee.
Steve Avory joins Charlton Athletic Chief Financial Officer David Joyes as one of the football club’s two representatives on the committee, replacing Charlton CEO Katrien Meire. Steve Avory said: “The support of Valley Gold has been such an important part of the success of our Academy so it is a real honour for me to be a part of this.”
“Contributions to Valley Gold enable us to continue to build on the club’s investment in the Academy. We have the seventh highest productivity of any club in England in terms of bringing Academy players into the first team and this is something that we are very proud of. This is in part thanks to the wonderful support of Valley Gold who have donated well in excess of £1m to the Academy.”
A club spokesperson said: “We recognise that it is important to have someone from the Academy on the committee and Steve is the best fit for this role. He is highly respected both within the club and across the football industry for his contribution to youth development.”

Who are the other six?

I've been invited to the meeting.

It would be nice if we could coordinate some questions and maybe some follow up questions that will probably develop from the originals.
I'm not too good at thinking on my feet and generally know what to asked after the opportunity has passed.

So rather than announce to the world what should be asked please feel free to PM me. Please no car park, toilet, chips, beer and personal insult (not me those who chair the meeting), type questions.
Obviously I cannot guarantee I'll get a chance to ask questions, if any, but I would like to if I get the chance.

I have been meaning to cancel my standing order for about 12 months now, finally I might get something from my long time membership.

The match against Oxford will be re-arranged due to their FA Cup win over Newcastle.

At the risk of a whoosh, were you aware another forum, has been invited that day for a pow wow and is the 'Big announcement' we were all warned to be very worried about from the pro regimers.

Could be an interesting gathering if the two were to be merged! I say go for it.

That can't be the big announcement surely? It's completely and utterly insignificant.
