Council meeting today?

[A Rebel and a Saint]

Will we get to hear anything about the council meeting that took place today? Was the club represented at this meeting?

As this is a delicate subject, there should be no speculation on the issues involved; however we need to be positive yet also remaining cautious, to ensure that no one is offended; yet ensuring there is suitable pressure on those involved to promote a forward momentum but not running before we can walk. The powers that be will comunicate in their own good time, but remembering that there needs to be an open flow of information to all involved, however not broadcasting it to those who are not directly involved.

 

So two weeks.

I'd be more concerned with the cabinet meeting on the 21st if tonight goes smoothly.

So would I be. Despite what the papers say, I do not think that today's meeting (I understand it was this afternoon) can decide anything binding.

[Roger Rebel]

No need to wait 2 weeks I'll tell you now nothing happened.

[Chris]

By all accounts it 'went well'. Don't know what happened, but as people say the big one is still to come...

[Roger Rebel]

That was not what I heard.

[Reading Rebel]

Would you care to expand on this Rog?

[Staines-upon-Thames Rebel]

Lets just hope that those who wish to play politics with the club dont jepordise the new ground!

[Ted]

The next Cabinet meeting is scheduled for January 21st, though there is no guarantee that things will even be discussed then. Cabinet meetings tend to be held monthlyish, so after that its February, March.....

 

With elections to be held on May 1st, I'd guess that if it isn't decided by March, then forget it until the summer.

[Reading Rebel]

I don't see why they can't be discussed at the next meeting.

 

Why the hold up?

 

We have first refusal.

 

Our offer and plans have been with the council for some time now.

 

They were ammended a few times to accommodate the councils wishes.

 

So why the delay?

[Tom]

Guess we won't know what the council is discussing until the agenda is released.

And it may be, but councils move at their own speed, write resorts, consider reports, seek further information and clarification etc., consider options, discuss options and so on so there are lots of things that could slow it down. That said, lets hope it is January, and a favourable outcome.

At the moment I don't think we do. As far as I know the site is not officially for sale but if it was put on the market tomorrow there's nothing to stop somebody else bidding for it. My understanding is that we are trying to broker a situation that precludes it being sold to other parties for a set period. There's no guarantee however that this will be granted.

Short and sweet!

Still, would be nice to hear from the club officially in some shape or form to tell us if the cabinet meeting is important or not.
