The Trust would like to an announce the following update on its Board members.

Firstly we would like to thank Richard Mathers who departs as Secretary. Richard has been Secretary for over 3 years and has worked tirelessly on various Trust projects whilst also being the key person in making sure the Trust’s rules and policies are adhered to. Richard has also gone to extraordinary lengths to attempt to communicate informally with the club over the past year.

Also departing the Trust Board are Ian Bunton and Bobbi Hadgraft. Ian has played an important role as part of the finance and membership working groups over the past 18 months whilst Bobbi has represented the Trust on local radio and social media.

All three depart the Board with our best wishes and we would like to thank them for their efforts on behalf of members and the wider fan base.

There are however three new faces joining the Trust. Firstly Jean Cannon will take over from Richard as Trust Secretary. Mike Raynor and Matthew Frampton also join the Board as co-opted Directors. We would like to welcome our new Board members and look forward to working with them.

We continue to work with the FSA who are pressing the EFL to seek dialogue with the Club on behalf of HCST, seeking acceptance of our reasonable compromise to allow Directors to participate in formal meetings with the Club and represent our members.

We also continue to work closely with the FSA on both National and International campaigns as well as ensuring HCST are represented at FSA meetings where we play an active role working with other affiliated supporters organisations, as well as being represented at their EFL Supporters Engagement meetings.
