NWSS held it’s AGM on Wednesday 1st July at 7.30pm, uniquely as an online event this year.
Due to the coronavirus outbreak and social distancing rules we were unable to hold our AGM as a group gathering inside a room as we would normally do, so we arranged to hold it online by a Zoom conference call. Those wishing to attend the AGM were sent a Zoom invitation link to enable them to join the meeting. As expected numbers were lower than last year (no doubt due to the lack of bar facilities!) but those that did attend were welcomed by club chairman Dave Owen and committee members Ian Morris, Mike Wilson and John Jory.
Committee re-elected. There were no other nominations so the existing committee was re-elected with Dave Owen stepping up as chairman for the upcoming year. John Jory is now responsible for coach seat allocation with Ian Morris and Mike Wilson remaining in their respective posts of treasurer and secretary.
Andy Stonestreet was nominated and elected as the first ever NWSS life member in recognition of his contribution in setting up the club in 2011 and his hard work over the last eleven years in helping to grow the club to establish it as one of the biggest Albion supporter groups in the country.
Charitable donations of £6,000 were proposed by the NWSS committe to be split evenly across twelve different charities and organisations. NWSS club members had suggested these twelve nominated charities. A remarkable total of £41,029 has now been donated to various charities and good causes since the formation of NWSS in 2011.
