The Supporters’ Club is run day-to-day by an elected committee, acting in accordance with rules and resolutions approved democratically by members, and with policies on privacy and equality, diversity and inclusion.
Decisions are taken at meetings or after consultation.
All members are entitled to attend committee meetings, which are notified in the “Forthcoming events” column on the home page. If you want to do so, we advise you to contact the secretary using the Contact form in case of any late re-arrangement.
According to our rules, the committee comprises six officers – chair, vice-chair, secretary, treasurer, membership secretary and equality, diversity & inclusion officer – plus up to ten “general” members of the Supporters’ Club. All are elected at an Annual or Extraordinary General Meeting.
Other members of the Supporters’ Club may be co-opted to fill vacancies among the general members. So if you have ideas and energy and would like to get involved, please let us know via the Contact form.
