-----------------------------------------------------------

Dale Supporters Trust would like to announce its nomination process to
join the Trust Board for the 2008/09 season, is officially open with a
closing date of Saturday 28 June 2008.

As
you are all aware, Dale Supporters Trust is a democratic body, which
means that its Board members have to be voted for by YOU its members,
and everyone who is a Trust member has the chance to put themselves
forward to stand on the Board. This will ensure that if members do not
agree with the decisions its Board makes, they can vote to change
things, with a number of spaces put up for election each year.

Don’t
worry - this is not as stuffy as it sounds, there’s no need to be put
off by talk of ballot boxes and election campaigns. It’s a chance for
anyone who wants to get involved to do so.

Currently the Trust
Board has 10 members and with the constitution allowing 12 members
there are already currently a number of vacancies. Also as per the
constitution, half the elected members of the Trust Board must put
themselves up for election each year. Therefore an election would only
be required if more people wanted to be involved than spaces available.

Anyone who wishes to stand for election to the Board can now
put themselves forward during the nomination period over the next 28
days. In order to do so they must:-

· Be a Trust Member

· Aged Over 16

If you would like to join the Board, then please complete the attached form.

Being
a Board member can be a rewarding experience and the more people we
have involved the more we can achieve, so if you are thinking about it
then why not give it a go.

Alternatively if you don’t want to
commit to being a Board member but feel you could lend a helping hand,
then please let us know.

The timetable for the election process is as follows –
