The Board
The three directors due to step down according to the club’s rules of rotation are Keith Hookham, Bryan White and David Gunn. There are five directors remaining, so will be a maximum of seven vacancies for the club board.
We will announce which directors will seek re-election in the coming weeks, but the club are encouraging anyone else who feels they can make a difference to stand for election to the Board and help us continue to push the club in the right direction. The ideal candidate would need to make themselves available to attend as many matches as possible to help with all the match day duties.
