One thing that I don’t fully understand is that the well society is the major share holder but votes as a unit (from what I’ve read but could be wrong). So does it get viewed as ‘one vote’ on the board or does it get viewed as the vote of X amount of share holders? If it gets treated as the vote of X amount of share holders by the board (voting as a unit) then I don’t think that is right. If the WS vote is split 60/40 or 30/70 or whatever it should be presented that way at the board to reflect the will of the share holders rather than taking the vote of a group of shareholders and basically flipping their vote, whichever way.
I can see simple majority votes when the WS wants to decide on an action that is a decision to be made by the WS, like should we give money to the club to help cover cost of pitch upgrade but when it’s a vote to be made regarding an action to be taken by the club the each share holder should have their vote counted as they cast it and not nullified by being in a group such as the WS.
Another point is that not all members contribute the same so does higher contributions mean more votes or shared? That applies to voting to decide as a unit and also if they were to present any vote as a ratio of for and against.
