The 2022 Bath City Supporters Society Annual General Meeting will take place at 7pm on Thursday 16th June 2022. After two years on Zoom we’re really looking forward to this AGM being held in person at Twerton Park all being well.
AGMs are an opportunity to:
● Come together as a community to reflect on the past year and look to the future
● Hear updates from and ask questions of the Society Committee & Club Board
● Propose, debate and vote on motions
● Stand for the Society Committee or Club Board yourself
We encourage you to attend the meeting, have your say, and play your part in the running of our Club. The full agenda will be sent out two weeks before the AGM, but in the meantime we’re looking for nominations for election to the Society Committee and the Club Board and invite you to propose motions for us to discuss on the night.
Here’s how to get involved:
Society Committee nominations
The Supporters Society controls the Club’s majority shareholding, and its Committee’s role is currently to:
Committee members are all volunteers who serve for 2 years. The committee meets monthly, usually on weekday evenings, and members are able to attend remotely via video call. Members typically commit an average of 5-8 hours a month to the role.
The role is somewhat similar to that of a school governor or a charity trustee in terms of the meetings and duties expected. All Committee members will receive induction and training.
We would encourage anyone interested to get in touch with the current Society Chair, Christopher Flanagan, for an informal chat to learn more ahead of submitting your nomination. You can do this by emailing bathcitysocietycommittee@gmail.com. This will be a chance to hear more about the expectations of sitting on the Committee, ask any questions you may have, and discuss what skills you could bring to the mix. Don’t worry, it will not be an interview!
Club Board nominations
The Club Board oversees the day to day and long term strategic running of Bath City FC. Six of the nine Directors who make up the board are elected by the Supporters Society.
Elected Club Board members are all volunteers who serve for 3 years. They are directly responsible for the running of the club, including commercial, marketing, redevelopment, operations, football, finance, community, supporter liaison and other aspects.
The Club Board meets monthly, usually on weekday evenings, and members can join remotely via video call. For a flavour of what’s discussed in board meetings, see recent meeting minutes here. Directorship training is made available, and Club Board members are encouraged to access training and support throughout their tenure as required.
Two of the six Society-elected Club Board positions will be up for election at this AGM. Following a motion agreed at the 2021 AGM we are specifying particular posts for election in 2022. These are Community Director details here and Marketing Director details here. To run for election to the Club Board:
Propose a motion for discussion
Your voice can make a real difference in shaping the Club’s future. In recent years, examples of AGM motions have included one to introduce a 3G pitch at Twerton Park, and to ensure that members have the final say on any changes to the cultural heritage of the club, such as badge, kit and name.
Finally in being nominated for election, candidates are declaring that they meet the Society’s Rules and the Election and Appointments Policy which can be found here. More information about the Society can be found on our website but please do get in touch if you have any questions.
We look forward to seeing you at the AGM.
