EGM - Saturday 25th June - Arrangements

EGM - Saturday 25th June - ArrangementsFC United’s Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) will take place on Saturday 25 June 2016, at 12 noon - Registration opens at 11:00am.

The EGM will be held at The Longfield Suite, 3 Longfield Centre, Prestwich, Manchester, M25 1AY



The meeting has been called to appoint a new Board. This is the only item to be considered.

There are nineteen FC United Members standing for election. There are eleven vacancies in total.

The term of office for the six successful candidates with the most votes will be until the AGM in 2017, the other five successful candidates will serve until the AGM in 2016. If fewer than eleven candidates are elected, then the unfilled positions will be available for election at the AGM in 2016.

FC United is established on firm one member, one vote, democratic principles, and those principles are underlined by your opportunity to vote in General Meetings on the resolutions put to the membership and, in this case, in the Board election.

The Board hopes that as many members as possible will vote in the election.

The deadline for Postal and Proxy Votes has now passed (12 noon on Wednesday 22nd June).

Voting at the Meeting:

If you intend to attend the EGM, and have not voted by proxy or by postal ballot, a ballot form will be given to you at the meeting, which is different to the ballot form that you can find in the Members’ Area (which you do not have to bring with you to the meeting).
