I have heard that the Dee4life membership has fallen by over 200 members which equates to over two thousand pound of annual income.
Dee4life needs a strong membership because John Nelms thinks that the DSA have between 5,500 and 6,000 members.

If that's true it's quite damning on an organisation that's trying to grow....if true.

But I don't think they will be that fussed if membership has fallen.....it's much easier to control a smaller membership.

I still think they were slightly shocked at the half dozen or so people who spoke out at the hold his feet to the fire meeting.....not the sorta folk they REALLY want attending.

Had my time, got nothing but criticism from all quarters and started to fall out of love with the game in general and club in particular. Somebody else's turn now. I would however shout up at a meeting if something was worth shouting.

I've given Islay a plenty chances, he just never delivers. If that's what Islay considers to be 'a bombshell' I despair because it will make zero difference to Dee4Life. Sadly I believe it's the only drum he has to beat.

You were universally disliked and found to be a divisive disruptive force.

Regular readers on here will understand that.

Well, none of that's true in the real world. But then you probably know that.

Thing is if someone who's never met me, and who clearly doesn't know me, wants to spew those types of lies I guess I'll just need to get the big boy pants on and accept it - most others will know completely different. I guess if you're making up lies about me you're leaving others alone?

At the Dee4life AGM in November 2023 a question was asked to the 23 members present.
Would you attend Dundee FC home games at Tannadice Park if Dens Park was sold and Dundee FC were forced to ground share at Tannadice Park.
21 members voted No but amazingly two members voted in favour of attending Dundee FC home games at Tannadice Park.

I know that the Dee4life directors were concerned about getting enough members to attend the AGM being held on Saturday 23rd November 2024 and that was a couple of weeks before it was due to be held.
The rule for a quorum for a Dee4life AGM is 5% of the membership or 20 members present, whichever is the lower.
At last year’s AGM they managed to to have 20 members present at the starting time of the AGM with another three members turning up after it had started.
With the Dee4life board of directors achieving nothing in their attempts to have a meaningful meeting with John Nelms despite John Burke the SLO supposedly trying to broker a meeting it is likely that they will have difficulty getting a quorum for their re-arranged AGM on 1st February 2025.

You were typical of committee types. Full of your own self importance and a ?I know best attitude?.

Traffic wardenesque.

I have just been reading the Dee4life board of directors meetings in the Members section of the Dee4life website.
According to the minutes of their board of directors meeting held on 14th October 2024 the meeting was not quorate because only 4 directors out of 8 directors were present and according to the rules a minimum of 50% of the board of directors plus 1 are required for a Dee4life board of directors meeting to be quorate. Therefore they require a minimum of 5 directors at every Dee4life board of directors meeting to be quorate.
This is wrong.
The Dee4life 2018 Model Rules state under Rule 73 that a minimum of 50% of the elected directors or 3 elected directors whichever is the greater is required for a board of directors meeting to be quorate. https://mutuals.fca.org.uk/Documents/Download/17344
Therefore the Dee4life board of directors meeting held on 14th October 2024 was quorate.
The Dee4life board of directors could have easily found this information if the Dee4life Model Rules were published on their new website but they were never transferred over from their previous website.
As a result the 2018 Model Rules have to be obtained from the Financial Conduct Authority website.
I have previously highlighted this problem and other problems with the new Dee4life website such as the minutes of the Dee4life AGM held in November 2023 not being posted on their website but my pleas have fallen on deaf ears.

I don't know you and would never make a comment on your character, other than to say how you come across on here of course which isn't particularly well in all honesty.

You don't know me but feel you know that I'm all the things you say, You do realise this just makes you look a bit obsessed, bitter and more than slightly odd don't you?

I couldn’t give a f?ck how I come across.

I do know you.

Do you mean obsessed, bitter and slightly odd in the same way you are with Islay?
