    That's exactly the type of arrogant self serving attitude I've come to expect from AT.
    What I'm trying to say on this thread is that AT should be at THE FRONT of action for change. They should be LEADING it. And in view of the danger we face they shouldn't be slow to keep the wider non member fans informed.

    You guys really bristle at this type of question, maybe because it makes you feel uncomfortable.

    P.s. just to add I'm not looking for a say.

    As per my earlier contributions, surely then you and anyone who feels the same strongly enough should join and try to change their direction?

    Try to force a Trust EGM, get elected on your platform.

    It’s all doable. Surely a greater use of time and effort on trying to change them than complain about the actions of a board elected by its members? No?

    I’m a broken record I know: Be the change you want to see.

    I hear what you're saying and if I lived in the area I would definitely want to get involved.
    But on the wider issue there's no harm in voicing an opinion on a message board in the hope of prompting some openness.

    If you were a member of the trust (still open to you abroad of course) you'd be much better informed about their actions.

    Absolutely, Stoke. Nothing wrong with that.

    I suppose my point can be summed up in the title you chose for this thread “actions speak louder than words”. It doesn’t need to stop at simply prompting openness. Your and many other’s desires for the Trust can be achieved.

    Even though you live away you can still have an influence. You can still vote on things.

    All it takes is to get enough trust members to force an EGM to propose a vote of no confidence in the current board and force elections.

    Could you put together enough members/potential new members to force an EGM and stand on your platform in order to put through the change you want?

    That to me seems your best route to get the Trust to be more in line with what you believe.

    We don't agree on much but I'm with you here. They're all to willing to taken the plaudits with that stuff (as well they should, they do a great job there by all accounts) but they don't take any criticism well at all.
