Hi Folks
Just recently joined the forum and noticed the above queries from fans and members and thought i would comment.
Although myself and others on the society board have been in dialogue with interested parties who have expressed interests in investing in the club in a variety of ways at different points , as David has mentioned these things do take at times a long time to get to a point where its something that we would discuss as a collective and bring to the membership for consideration.
My first 3 weeks in truth have been an eye opener into the work that my colleagues on the board have been putting into their roles and they have ( in between the investment offer work) made monumental strides in delivering a society membership that we can be proud of.
You will have seen many of the team pounding the streets to promote this Fridays game and whilst some have been working hard on that in supporting the club, others have been refining our membership payment streams, our offering, our communications and dialoguing regularly with the club on a variety of issues amongst pulling together short lists for co-opting onto our society board and Exec board. So much of this has been done in just the last 3 weeks since myself, Gavin, and martin joined and Derek was re-elected.
What i don't want to lose sight of is the enormous opportunity we have to significantly increase our own revenue streams within the society. a strong increased recurring revenue that can support the club will only make for a more attractive investment proposal and strengthen our negotiating power when it can be used to support the club.
Along with investment its key that we engage and grow our membership whilst encouraging junior steel members to step up to our adult offerings when the time is right to continue to grow our society to be the strongest it possibly can be.
If you are a society member i sincerely thank you for your support, and if you are not please do get enrolled Join Adult Membership - The Well Society as myself and the rest of the board will work tirelessly to ensure we deliver an ownership model you can be proud of.
Should you have any questions/ ideas/suggestions please don't hesitate to reach out to me at greg.anderson@thewellsociety.uk whilst Jay/Martin and Gavin will continue to keep you updated on our weekly progress and meetings through our newsletter and the website thewellsociety.uk
Cheers folks and lets hope we get a result on Friday!
Greg
