WANDERERS fans must join the Supporters’ Trust by midnight tonight in order to take part in the upcoming elections.

Gudni Bergsson, the former club captain, sent out a reminder at the weekend imploring all supporters to get behind the Trust, which was officially formed in January.

“I am so pleased the Legends game was such a success and it is a pity I couldn't join in with the party,” said the defender, who made more than 300 appearances for the club. “Perhaps next time?

“I would just like to encourage all you committed BWFC fans who are not yet signed up to the Supporters' Trust to consider doing so before midnight on May 30. If you sign up by then you will be able to take part in the upcoming elections, alongside me and the other ex-players who are now Trust members.

“We want as strong and fully representative Supporters' Trust as we can possibly achieve in order to make sure our great club recovers from the recent troubles.”

The first BWFCST board will be announced on August 22 with nominations open between June 6 and July 4.

Ballot packs will be provided and voting opened from July 18 and it will close on August 15.

Nine elected members will then form the new board which will have officer positions of chair, treasurer and secretary. The remaining six elected members will each be allocated roles to include, amongst others, finance and investment, events and fundraising, community engagement, supporter liaison, marketing, communications, PR and media and IT/administration/membership.

The board will also have the ability to appoint co-opted members to the board to provide input and assistance in specific fields as appropriate.
