They have been run mainly this season by Tony Lewis who is unelected but has done a brilliant job raising £300 through raffles and quizzes on the coaches.
Stu will still be running buses hes just not taking bookings anymore Elaine. I will run buses when Stu can't. If neither of us can then someone else will be kindly asked which has been Tony who has done a good job.

Hope that clears everything up.

If anyone feels like they can help the trust they are welcome to sit in on meetings and put themself forward for election next year the more the merrier.

Can the board name any other organisation whose employment practice for the improvement of employee performance follows this template:

Step 1: Inform employee of unhappiness with his performance and request improvement;

If this fails to generate the required improvement proceed to:
Step 2: Advise employee that performance is still not up to requirements and again request improvement;

If this fails to generate the required improvement proceed to:
Step 3: Tell the local radio and newspaper that your employee is underperforming and that he has been given a month to improve after which he will be sacked;

Step 4: Publicise ,for all the world to see, what qualitative (i.e. subjective) improvements (bar one) are expected and allow local media, customers and any old Tom, [SwearFilter] and Harry to speculate on whether your employee has achieved these targets?

And does the board think this is a process that other employers could usefully follow as a template for employee improvement? Or, if it happened to any of them, might they consider it ever so slightly demeaning?
It all comes 'round again.

Get some Greens pies in.
From watching the highlights I would assume they didn't celebrate because Cookie got the ball straight out of the net to go back to re-start the match, more important to get going again and hopefully grab an equaliser (which unfortunately didn't) than celebrate
everyone is entitled to their opinion, deal with it

Does Mr Casson feel that the players have let themselves and the manager down in recent weeks?

Added Mark, thanks.

As in - bought the club or announced the month thing?

No problem doing one, or both but we just need to ask the question as you mean it to be asked.

1. Regardless of who the manager is, what is our realistic (expected) finishing position for this season and next?

2. What are all the future plans for ground? (as has been mentioned)

3. Why can't we get a deal done to sell pies? (as has been mentioned)

What did he mean when he said the ground only needed a lick of paint here and there?

Does that mean we are scaling back plans to redevelop holker street?

We are a town of pie eaters and have many pie shops any plans to sell local pies?

Hoss, we already have one regarding that so you will get an answer.

Chris, question added and two others have already been asked so as above.

Think that'll do for now.
