New Chair for Trust Board

One of the first items on the agenda for last Monday's meeting of the new Trust Board was to agree a new Chairperson for the coming year.

The Trust Board agreed that this person should be David Stewart and he takes this on with immediate effect.

Commenting on his new role, David said "I am honoured and apprehensive in equal measure to be appointed as Chairman of our Supporters' Association. It's clear that we face a difficult period ahead, but with some drive and determination from the Trust Board and the help of volunteers from amongst the fans, I am hopeful that in the year ahead the Trust will become a more visible, productive, approachable and stable organisation working hard for the benefit of the Club that we all care so much about."

The terms of office to apply to our newly elected members was also decided by the drawing of lots. As a result of this, Tom Hogg and Graeme Cowie will serve for one year whilst Morag McHaffie, David Stewart and Martin Towers will serve for two years. All will be eligible for re-election at the end of their current period of office.
