Smokey not sure this new Board will sit idle for too long.

Here's hoping the new Board will hit the ground running, and fast.

Smokey 2019 was referred to in no uncertain terms.
So here's hoping.
We have a good 2018 to build on.
And they know it as they delayed the action.we expected.

That's not what the Centurions Fund is for.
Let's see if we are no chance after the 10th December.
I think we may well be in a better position than KCEF thinks.

Is there a specific purpose for the Centurions Fund? What can it be used for?

Oooll, the Centurions Fund was set up by former club President, the late Brian Lawrence, as a future fund to ensure the club's future viability so that the club would never again get into financial trouble, as we did almost 30 years ago, and to act as a firewall to prevent any occurrence that would enforce us to succumb to any imposed decision eg a takeover or merger ..
It is tightly governed by a Trust Deed and can only be accessed in accordance with the strict provisions of that deed.
It is not a treasure chest to be used for any reason not provided for under the deed.

I wonder if the influence of the FM might be to our advantage here???
Claremont do have an advantage here, Subi have the money, what chance the Dees???

How would it be to our advantage smokey?

Mr AFL, read back three or four posts... consider...the new Board is not likely to sit idle too long...the new Board will hit the ground running, and fast.
AGM only 9 days away.....

Our FM Dale Ballantyne has previously worked at Claremont, not sure if he was FM or another role. I'm pretty sure that is what Smokey was referring to.

Smokey I get the new board aspect but was referring to the input that Dale would have. It read like you were saying that Dale and Mitch already have an existing working relationship which would help us gain his services for 2019.

I was inferring, rightly or wrongly, a Claremont connection which may or may not be helpful.
