0 Comments

 
WELCOME TO NEW MEMBERS

First of all, a warm welcome to all of the new Society members who have joined as the result of buying community shares in the Big Bath City Bid. We are a members-driven organisation and we encourage you to fully participate in the Society's activities and help to build a stronger Bath City FC.

To learn more about the Society, its rules, activities and policies, please visit bathcitysociety.org or ask us a question at [email protected].

INTERIM GENERAL MEETING: MONDAY 21 NOVEMBER

The Society will hold its interim general meeting at 7pm, Monday 21 November in Randall's.

​The meeting will cover:
  • Election of a Supporter Liaison Officer (see below)
  • Convening a democracy working group
  • Any "Members' Votes" (non-binding motions) submitted to the Society Board

If you would like to submit a Members' Vote motion for debate, please download this form and submit it to [email protected] by Friday 4 November . Members' votes are non-binding (unlike AGM resolutions), but the Society Board is bound to consider and respond to any members' votes that pass. All members will be able to vote online.

The democracy working group's job is to develop a set of recommendations about how the Society can ensure that its workings, and those of the club, are democratic, transparent and accountable. If you would like to be involved or give input but cannot attend the meeting, please contact us at [email protected].

SUPPORTER LIAISON OFFICER (SLO)

We are seeking nominations for a Supporter Liaison Officer (SLO). The SLO will sit on the board of Bath City FC and serve as an important link between the club and its fans on supporter issues.

CLICK HERE to read a full role description and CLICK HERE to download a nomination form.

The election will be held in accordance with the Society's election policy, which can be found here.

[NB the Society board has agreed to shorten the period during which nominations can be received, in order to be able to hold the general meeting in November.]

Candidates can nominate themselves and must provide a 200-400 word candidate statement. Please complete and submit your nomination form by Friday 4 November.

NEXT STEPS
​

We will send the final agenda and candidates' statements to all Society members in the week commencing Monday 7 November. Members will be able to vote in the election and for motions by postal ballot and online.

Thank-you to everyone who has invested or donated however big or small an amount - and for everyone who has helped or wished us well. We have exceeded our minimum target by almost £50,000 and are now moving on to the next stage of converting Bath City into a community-owned club. Well done to everyone!

Here are a few points about what happens next:

Let's Celebrate!

This is an amazing achievement and we'd like to celebrate with you all. So please join us at the annual Bath City FC Community Day on Saturday 8 October, 3pm at Twerton Park. This is a special match where we invite people to "pay what you want" on the gate - usual price £13 adults, £2 children, but you can choose what you pay - and experience the thrill of live football on your doorstep.

PLUS - join us for drinks in Charlie's Bar at the ground straight after the match, and then we'll open up the adjacent Randall's for a party from 6pm featuring a live band.Bid team members will be on hand wearing Bid t-shirts to say hello and help with any questions or offers of help.

All are welcome - please come along - Saturday 8 October!


Share and Donation Payment

If you have invested or donated, here's what happens next:
  • If you signed up via Microgenius last year and re-confirmed your pledge, the money will be taken from your account today. If you didn't re-confirm, your details will simply be cancelled.
  • If you sent us money or a cheque last year and re-confirmed, we will simply retain the money and process your share application. If you didn't re-confirm we will return your money to you by cheque.
  • Those of you who bought shares or donated by Crowdfunder this year will have received a notification by email and the money will be deducted from your account at the end of next week.
  • If you have transfered money or sent a cheque this year, we will retain it and process your application.


Share Process

Meetings will now be held between the Board and the Society to finalise the legal transactions, with an EGM being held in the near future to enable the Club’s shareholders to vote to increase the authorised share capital and for the new shares to be acquired by the Society.

The Supporters Society will also meet separately to begin the process of issuing community shares to applicants once funds have been drawn down from Microgenius and Crowdfunder.

We will all work as quickly, but as carefully as possible to implement the share issue and steps outlined in the prospectus, and will keep you informed every step of the way.

Thanks once again for all your support. We look forward to seeing you on Saturday 8 October, 3pm at Twerton Park.
