ABOUT THE SOCIETY

Who we are

The Bath City Supporters Society is a democratic members' organisation that exists to encourage and develop a healthy, balanced and constructive relationship between the club, its supporters and the communities it serves. The Society is Bath City FC's majority shareholder, with a 55% stake in the club. It is through this majority stake that Bath City FC became a community-owned club.

Aims

As per its constitution, the Society’s objects are to benefit the community by:
  • being the democratic and representative voice of the supporters of the club and strengthening the bonds between the club and the communities which it serves
  • achieving the greatest possible supporter and community influence in the running and ownership of the club
  • promoting responsible and constructive community engagement by present and future members of the communities served by the club and encouraging the club to do the same
  • operating democratically, fairly, sustainably, transparently and with financial responsibility and encouraging the club to do the same
  • being a positive, inclusive and representative organisation, open and accessible to all supporters of the club regardless of their age, income, ethnicity, gender, disability, sexuality or religious or moral belief

How the Society supports the Club

  • The Society is the club's majority shareholder, and thus acts as the vehicle for community ownership of Bath City FC.
  • The Society has six representatives on the club's Board (of nine total), voted for by members, ensuring that the voice of its membership is heard on key matters
  • We sponsor matches and provide other financial assistance to the club
  • The Society maintains strong links with the rest of the Bath City family, including the Bath City Community Sports Foundation and the Supporters Club. In fact, the Society helped to establish the Foundation, whose excellent work resulted in Bath City becoming the Conference South 'Community Club of the Year' in 2014

The Society Board

The Society is run by a 12-person committee which  is elected by the membership on an annual basis during the Society's Annual General Meeting. Members can also be co-opted to the committee.
