You're kidding, right?:)

Are all groups/charities not meant to have open AGM which are advertised, most have this in their constitution - wonder when they last held one?
Anyone able to check the old copies of the 'Groat' and 'Courier' to find when they last did have an AGM or EGM for WADF, or in fact any meeting for WADF.
perhaps it was held in secret in a telephone box in the middle of the night
What surprises me is that with all the CHEQUES(a Pun) and balances, and the accountability nowadays, it is difficult to understand how a 'charitable organization' can conduct their business in such a way....I thought that particularly in the UK, there is an atmosphere of openess.
And if not, they could be stripped of their Management of same.
If someone could get a copy of the WADF constitution, it would be simple to find out what the arrangements for managing the fund are. But we can't. Because apparently they don't respond to requests for such information promptly, if at all!
I don't think the inhabitants of Portgower would stand for it [lol] Their reputation's already in tatters, give them some credit.
If the WADF do not reply to a request with in 14 working days you just need to report it to the oscr and they can take action under sect 23 of the charity act and have a lot of powers
I must be a half-wit. It never even occurred to me (much like the need to pay an 'admin charge') that a query to a reputable local charity would require proof of posting, so I just stuck a first-class stamp on and lobbed it in the post box.
As I've still had no response, I might be better to send a recorded one. Although proof of postage is often not considered proof of delivery, it will make any subsequent communications with OSCR as straightforward as possible.
Since WADF is a charity, you could enclose an envelope and a stamp so they don't have to pay postage to supply the information you requested.
away on hols so no update yet.
Is this the start of things or is it a different group of prominent business men wanting to improve things?

Seems to be the same Jackie Gunn and company that have the WADF on the go.
Mr Gunn is still not willing to have a AGM by all accounts.
Is it not Strange that the Weekly draws for all the tickets were held in a Private office all the other football clubs hold there weekly draws in a Hotel or bar in which the public can see what is going on.
That was a very interesting read , I was especially intrigued by the WA for change articles, I think the club has come on leaps & bounds since 2003 - it appears to be respected in the community & many fans are re-appearing at the Harmsworth due to the style WAFC play in & the fact the previous chairman has been riddanced.
Still hasnt explained where the money went though ? New car every year ? It does look shady to an outsider I must admit
I may have missed it somewhere but has anyone been in touch with OSCR about this whole debacle. Maybe they know something we don't and if they don't know they can find out.
