Who are you? |
1 |
Are you a member of WISA? If not, why not?
I am not a member of WISA.When the Trust was formed many fans of WFC accused us of being another branch of WISA.I was proof that not all of the Trust was involved with WISA. |
2 |
Why should WISA members vote for you?
Any regular fan of AFCW knows the commitment that I have for the organisation. |
3 |
How much time can you commit each month to DT duties (excluding AFCW activities?).
Loads |
4 |
What role would you perform on the DT board?
I would form a link to AFCW |
5 |
Would you undertake any additional activities in AFCW?
Yes |
6 |
Did you support the recent share issue enthusiastically, with reservations, or were you unhappy with the idea?
100% behind it.Nobody showed us a realistic alternative. |
7 |
Do you favour a register of interests to record any benefits (financial or otherwise) Trust members gain from their dealings with the Trust or PLC?
Fine by me. |
8 |
What personal qualities (apart from professional skills, and a capacity for hard work) do you have that the DT Board needs?
Business skills and the guts to confront when necessary. |
9 |
Please list all financial benefits that you have received in the past through dealings with the Trust or Plc.
I believe this is a loaded question but should also list what has been put in so I will give you both. For those of you that do not know I own a Print and Design Company. I have produced work for the Dons Trust and AFC Wimbledon. My staff and I have performed miracles many times for the organisation most of it has been done for nothing. I will give you overall figures but would be happy provide anyone that wants an absolute breakdown with more details when I am a little less busy in the close season.
Work carried out for the DT = £3003.00
Work carried out for AFCW = £9786.00
Work carried out for free DT =£6000
Work carried out for free AFCW = £10,000
I have rounded the figures down to 1000s.Most of the free work has been done from my Design Studio.Commercialy we will charge £80 per hour these figures have been worked out on £50 per hour.No materials have been included.Materials would come to at least £3000.
My staff who are not AFCW Fans have worked tirelessly for our cause. Many times the club and Trust have come before our customers.I am proud of our contribution and feel that I have never done anything to profit from either organisation as some have suggested in the past.I hope this satisfies the curious minds out there.
Many others have performed similar tasks for the organisation I thank them all. I still feel that this question is aimed at one or two individuals one being me. |

14 |

At the moment the constitution insists so until the L& C group sort this one out the answer has to be yes. |

I see the DT as custodians and monitors. |
