There have been numerous messages on this forum asking for people interested to join a working group. As such, many people who had not previously met were brought together and a working group of sorts has been established. It was an open invitation to any interested Scarlets supporter. Anyone could have attended or got involved. No cloak and dagger, no hush hush in the slightest. You asked me about last weekend's meeting and I said you were welcome to come along if you were interested. Lets not try and find a problem over this when one clearly does not exist. |

Quagmire initially posted if there were any updates and the response from "supporters-trust" was that there had been many meetings. This was then added to by Laura who stated that there had been a meeting in the Sandpiper last Sunday. I`ll repeat for the umpteenth time, I think the trust is a good idea but in Laura and Salmidach, you have two people who appear willing to help but had no idea about what was happening. As I said, there may have been people who could not attend the initial meeting but would now like to get involved. That is a good thing surely. From a personal point of view, due to my location I am not in a position to assist directly but that does not mean that I am un-interested. Did you actually go to Bloomsbury for your meeting? |

Hi sal, in short, the aspirations and aims of each individual trust are set by the trust members, therefore, at this stage, there are simply no set aims and goals as such, but will be agreed upon by consensus at the launch meeting stage of the trust. At that point, it is ONE MEMBER, ONE VOTE, so each and every fan who decides to get involved will have the opportunity to voice his/her opinion, and contribute to deciding what the trust wants to achieve.

without loosing my rag, here goes once again. The 1st proper meesting called an "Open Meeting" has not taken place yet. Everyone and I mean everyone will be allowed to attend. The Current working " steering" group which current exists was created by volunteers who were available to make the 1st few unofficial meetings to try and start the ball rolling on the setting up of a Scarlets Supporters Trust. from below you can see that is step 1.2 we are currently working on 1.3 and 1.5. 1.4 is sorted hopefully, it will be the Tetleys Suite @Stradey. There is no website set up for us, we have no name for the trust. There is loads to do once the supporters meet up and vote their approval for seting up a trust. If you have more questions then feel free to pop them up on here and I'm sure we will answer them. As we all have stated in this thread we are not trying to hide anything. But we don't need a 100 people at this point to setup the open meeting. Right time to go and hit the tackle bags and not take my fustration out on my fellow players

I made a vow not to bother replying to your contributions to this forum a few months back, but the stuff you have written on this thread and the way you have written it is blatently unhelpful and you know it's stirring up a lot of unnecessary cynicism and negativity. I know you think it's funny to play up to this reputation you have created for yourself, but this is a serious and positive thing that people are trying to achieve, so grow up and take a read of the information you have been signposted to because it's clear you barely have a notion what a supporters trust is about, given your contributions to this thread. |

Supporters Trust? Great Idea. Thanks to those that have done the unheralded and thankless goundwork. Please let me know when the first meeting is. Please advertise it widely not just on this site. I'm sure that many a lifelong Scarlets fan will not be using this site. People not involved or interested in the Forum. People who have looked at and been put off by the Forum. As a new member I must say that I'm staggered by the amount of self righteous, pedantic bickering that appears on this site. If a Supporters Trust is to be of any worth there must be some common cause/purpose and people should feel able to have their say without thinking some someone's waiting to have a go. I hope the petty baiting and egofest that appears here will not be replicated in the Supporters Trust. Its like childrens group therapy sometimes where the last footstomper gets all the attention. I thought we were all in this together?

Thanks for some sense mammamammon. The aim is that the Trust will not be 'forum orientated' and members outside the internet loop will be informed by letter and in good time. |

I suggest that you get your facts right Mike. It was Laura who originally asked why the meeting in the Sandpiper was "hush hush" not me. I fail to see how asking a reasonable question as to who was at this meeting and what it was about can be viewed as unhelpful. Likewise, asking why a further message was not left on the forum, perhaps for the benefit of those who couldn`t attend the first meeting, is hardly cynicism. I support the idea of the trust, as I`m sure the whole forum does. Don`t worry about not replying to my threads because I`ve long appreciated that if anyones views don`t agree with yours then they are the ones in the wrong. |

As someone said above, the trust will be a democratic body - "one member, one vote". So I assume that anyone who wants an elected post could stand if they have the backing of enough fellow members. If elected, they'd get the job. No such body has existed without a small group instigating stuff first.
I sincerely hope the trust gets up and running soon, and knowing some of the guys involved, I've no reason to doubt. Once it gets up and running everyone can have their say throguh the ballot box! I've nothing but admiration for the guys who've put a lot of effort in since that first meeting in February. I think eveyone should get off their backs. Edited by Taffscarlet |

So as everyone can see, we ARE trying to make sure that as many people as possible will be aware of the FIRST meeting, and will be invited to attend. |

Indeed SR - it is also the case that people have joined the working group SINCE the first get-together because of awareness from this forum.
