GENERAL MEETING - Important Information UPDATED

Board Candidate John Edmeads has withdrawn from the 2013 Board Election.

John says it is a heart breaking decision, but due to a change in work circumstances he can no longer commit sufficient time to the role, should he have been successful in his nomination, which has led to his withdrawal.

Unfortunately, there is no practical way to allow advance votes for any individual candidate who withdraws to be recast that doesn’t compromise the secrecy and privacy of the ballot process which is of paramount importance.

Members who have already submitted their ballot paper are reassured that the ballot paper itself is not invalidated and any and all other votes cast will be counted in the normal way.

A revised ballot paper will be issued at the GM.

The General Meeting of FC United Limited will take place on Sunday 28th April 2013, at the The Manchester College, Openshaw Campus, Ashton Old Road, Openshaw, Manchester, M11 2WH at 12:30pm. Registration opens at 12:00pm.

The Notice of the meeting has been sent to all members either by post or by email.

Those on email preference can download all the paperwork for the General Meeting from the members section on the official website. Only member’s on postal preference will receive any paperwork in the post.
