Arnold Weinstock was chairman of GEC for many years. He was quoted as saying "A board should always have an odd number of members - and three is too many". It seems the DTB would potentially rather have people who disagree with them on the outside of the tent p*ssing in, rather than on the inside p*ssing out!

Glad to say, the tip I use does not require an appointment to be made. Why? Becuase it has been well planned and is efficiently run. Credit to Reigate and Banstead

Actually only benefit of covid is you make an appointment for a blood test now and also the refuse tip ,a much better system than free for all long waits.

Survey done. I made the following comments.....It should be made easier to return tickets to the club. Having to send an email isn't right as it could be missed. This facility should be available on the ticketing website and in DonsTix for all matches, not just those where the ticket can be resold. Only once that is active would I support blocking renewal. I would also suggest introducing debentures for anyone who can't attend every match ie children and their carers.

If a seat has been returned for sale and then the match is postponed, the seat should returned to the ST holder and an alternative seat offered to the buyer.

Repd drink plenty of water before blood test,helps being hydrated for blood test.

Silk all that even assumes that Rule 10 is a valid rule. It was created without following the constitution and those who have snuck it in need to be held accountable.

The election cannot go ahead in these circumstances. It needs to be resolved.

Any member of the ESG or the DTB has the absolute right to post on here or the DT website to refute these claims.

Typos clarified

After reading the Election Rule 10 and the Volunteer Code of Conduct I think they have disqualified him because they have been unhappy at some of his social media posts and are maybe worried about what he might post if he did get elected. In short, they do not like him so have found a way not to invite him to the party. This is easier for them than to engage with his opinions at the Hustings.

As a proposer to Shane's candidacy, I can confirm that his latest post is correct, as I have seen copies of this correspondence complete with date stamps etc.

Before I start the ST survey, can anyone tell me whether I can give opinions? Of is it just ticking boxes?

“Hello, Thank you for your nomination papers for the forthcoming DTB election. We can now confirm that, following a detailed review, your nomination has been rejected because of issues in relation to Election Rule 10. This decision does not preclude you from standing in future elections. Kind regards Matthew Breach (Elections Steering Group)“

For Silk - this is what I received. No other detail, information or explanation. No hearing, no right of reply. It’s shocking treatment of a Dons Trust Member - especially one that has been working towards reconciliation for many months now and recently wrote to Matt, Angus and Michele with a note of reconciliation. None of them even acknowledged this despite it being brokered by more than one currently standing board member. This was the route they had suggested I take and I took it seriously.

There comes a time when you have to walk away from either a person or society that does not engage the way you expect they should do. If you think that the Dons Trust is doing that then walk away. Cancel your membership, ask for a refund, do not vote in the elections. The DT are very quick to crow about increasing numbers so they would also have to report and explain if the paying DT members are choosing not to renew and the reasons why.

I have not been a DT member for a number of years despite being a founder member. Whilst I sympathise about their inability to fix our financial problems they are bad at doing what they can do.

If the ESG are ethical then they would tell any disqualified candidate the reason why and to explain what can be done to ensure they will not be disqualified in the future. Whilst they can report a member has been disqualified they shouldn't disclose the reason publicly without the consent of the disqualified candidate. From his comment below I believe Shane B has not been told of why he has been disqualified. Is that correct?

Thanks WJ - that's the point that people should be comfortable with. You don't have to like any given candidate in order to accept that they have the right to stand. Let the members decide who gets on the board, not unelected volunteers with an axe to grind. They are denying members their vote.

Rule 10 contravenes the Dons Trust Constitution.

Good luck WJ. The ESG Chair has not replied to my last email asking them to provide evidence of what PPI was shared with them, by whom and whether it's stored on Dons Trust servers. " I have evidence to confirm you made the statements and that they were untrue" GDPR naughtiness is the least of the concerns here.

I think we can start to understand just how personal the blocking of my nomination might be. For the ESG to create their own rule giving one man the power to veto a candidate because they disliked something that was posted online (not abusive or offensive, just in their opinion untrue) is something that members should be aware of and fully against.

It looks like many of us in here have a duty to be stood outside the DT hut tomorrow

The ESG has frequently in the past appealed for volunteers. If you have the time (minimal for at least 9 months of the year) and an interest in well run elections, volunteering is easy.

Not a warning, just a statement of fact

Agreed Swin - no evidence has been presented to me, no right of reply or hearing was offered. Now no response or replies to emails. It's not right and needs to be resolved before the elections go ahead.

If a candidate has been blocked from standing for election using a rule which does not exist then this is a serious breach of the constitution. Those responsible need to be held accountable.

email of disappointment thrown towards the ESG Chair & Vice Chair - not that I expect to hear back from them

Planning to make myself heard at the DT hut tomorrow, but I'll probably get ejected if too persistant.

RK - I have but very rarely, since I'm surprisingly healthy (touch wood). I've always already been lying down with bigger needles, so no prospect of me reaching that condition involuntarily.
