KEITH BLAGBROUGH RESIGNS FROM PLC BOARD

Wycombe Wanderers Trust announces that with immediate effect Keith Blagbrough has resigned from his position as one of the Trust’s Directors on the board of Wycombe Wanderers Football Club PLC*.

Keith will continue to serve as a board member of the Trust.

On his decision to resign Keith stated ‘Wycombe Wanderers Football Club has given me great pleasure over the years and being a Director has enabled me to repay the Club for this in some way. It has been a great honour that supporters elected me to this post but I feel that, having completed over 4 years in the post, it is time to stand aside.’

The Trust’s Board are extremely grateful to Keith for both his hard work and the diligent manner in which he has executed his duties over the past 4 years.

Trust Chairman David McGee commented ‘Keith has selflessly dedicated a great deal of time and energy to Wycombe Wanderers over a long period of time. The Club and the Trust are extremely lucky to have benefited from Keith’s passion and commitment to this Football Club.’

Francis Glenister, Trust Deputy Chairman, praised Keith for being instrumental in creating the original Supporters Trust, ‘Keith was a founder member of the Supporters Trust and dedicated many hours to ensuring that the Supporters Trust was not only successfully launched but also achieved its challenging target of acquiring 100,000 ordinary shares in the PLC.’

The Trust’s Board will appoint a replacement PLC Director in the near future. The replacement will serve until the Trust’s AGM and elections are held in the spring of this year. All Trust members will be asked to vote in this election.

The Trust’s rules require that only members, who are also directors of the Trust, can undertake the roles of its PLC Directors. Any member interested in joining the Trust’s Board should contact the Trust’s Chairman, David McGee (dm@wwst.org), for further details.

Membership is just £10 per year and supporters can sign up at: http://www.wycombewandererstrust.com/page/membership/
