CW reported that despite the increase in fares, season tickets and everything else she was pleased to announce that the club funds are relatively stable. The 55th dinner did affect the accounts for both 21/22 and 22/23 as we waited for the final payments to come in.
The new account with Nat West is running smoothly with more people paying by bank transfer. Nat West offered the club the opportunity to gain some interest on some of our funds by tying them up for 1 or 2 years and as this was for a relatively short period irt was agreed to take up the offer.

The club ran official trips to all home games and 9 away games last season and there were a few delayed trips.

We have renewed the Club season tickets for the new season, but not submitted permanent names for the tickets, still no clarification from the Club if this will be necessary.
PW wished to thank Claire Peters in Wolves Ticket Office for all her help during the season and also Dave Slape for all his help.

9. Newsletter Editors Report
Following the decision taken at the AGM in 2022 the News letter has been produced and distributed in pdf form with a few printed copies issued to those that request it.
10. Website Editors Report
PB reported that there was a major decline in advertising revenue leaving a deficit of £173. The website cost was £203 with income from ads only £30 compared to £64 last year. The serviced provider, Ionos, has agreed to give us a 50% discount for a further year.
Traffic has been reducing and is now very low, so PB plans to scrap the security access system which will save is £49 and use our Facebook page as the main source of travel news.
Website activity:-
Social media: Twitter has around 4,800 followers and Facebook has 745 members.
eNews: still goes to all members including travel updates and soft copy of the newsletter.
PB wished to thank Sue Wharton, Pete & Steve Carvell, CW, PW, DS, PA, Mark Feehan & RE for pictures from several events and to SR for providing the important content with the magazine.

13. Any other Business
(i) PA said that there had been no contact from Wolves for presenting the Player of the Year trophy and that going forward it would seem to be highly unlikely that we would be able to do so. It was agreed that in the future the Player of the Year would still be awarded but no trophy would actually be produced or presented.
(ii) A proposal was put forward by DS that we join Wolves 1877 trust as Associate Members, there is no cost to the club. Most of the Trust is Wolverhampton based so we will be able to give a long distance fan’s point of view. Proposed by PB, Seconded by PA.
(iii) DS proposed that we also upgrade our membership of the FSA from Associate Member to Affiliated members . Proposed by PB, seconded by PA.
(iv) DS said that he had been vising Bob Venner but that recently he had been too ill to be visited. SE asked everyone to take a few minutes to remember the members who had passed away in the previous year in particular Simon Ivermee, Sid Green, Ivan Gillespie, Gordon Shead and Steve Roe.

2022 AGM in WorldWide Wolves Lounge with Jason Guy and Dan as guest from Wolves 1877 Trust
Charity raffle at our 55tjh anniversary dinner was raising money for Jason’s charities
2021 AGM -
great turnout (including (apparently) official nutters) was greeted by Chairman Earl still suffering from having to wear his protective boot. Hopefully that will be removed in time for the first home match.
Some notes on the meeting -
Carol has introduced direct bank transfer payment* for members wishing to pay e.g. for tickets travel etc to save them and Peter having to carry significant sums of cash around but asks members to give more details on what the payment is for.
Travel has been significantly curtailed of course, the last outing before the Man Utd matchday 38 match being Olympiakos but Peter is booking this year's. (see above). Peter again thanked the Ticket Office and Dave for all their support.
Steve is working on the 2021 end of season newsletter. The Website ran at a £96 deficit as advertising dried up. In addition there was a copyright settlement charge of £150 and we are being pursued by the "picrights" people for a lot more. Valuable suggestions were made by Peter D and Neil on handling this.
The AGM agreed to maintain the membership fees at existing levels.
There were two candidates standing for Deputy Chairman and David Hodges was elected unanimously. The current committee was re-
In AOB Carol proposed a toast to those who we had lost over the past two years, especially Dave Gilson and Derek Stedman, who kindly left WWLSC a legacy. The revised inclusivity rule was passed.

Our thanks to Hardy's for looking after us.

London Wolves Supporters Club Virtual AGM July 2020
1. Chairman’s address:
Dear Members,
Many of you will have been eagerly anticipating our AGM at the Horse and Groom, and the opportunity to sample fine beer and equally fine company. The committee has decided, though, that such a meeting would not meet Government advice on gatherings, especially given the age of some of our members so we are, reluctantly not holding an AGM this year.
It is important, though, that we do our best to keep you informed as the AGM would have done, so we have produced this report, and which includes the accounts from Carol as well as reports from each of the usual reporting officers. We will also publish this in the AGM section of the website. If you have any matters arising from last year's 2019 minutes which were printed in the April 2020 Newsletter then please raise them with Dave Slape at: Dave.Slape@Londonwolves.com and we will try to address them.
Each year, as well as examining the reports, we have two particular decisions to take at the AGM -
We did consider using the widely publicised technologies to hold the meeting, but this would have excluded some members who frequently attend so decided against it.
I hope you are all keeping well and safe, and look forward to being able to meet up again at a match.
Stuart Earl

He congratulated Roy Eagles, Dave Slape and Morris Jacobs for their fundraising efforts.
3. Matters arising from 2015 AGM:

Carol reported that she is still looking for a high interest account but this is proving difficult.6. Travel Secretary’s report:

Home – Brighton (34) and Ipswich (30)
Away – Ipswich (26) and Nottingham Forest (17)
There was a slight increase in the average number travelling to home games but a slight decrease for the away games.
Fare prices varied throughout the year because we have to compete with other travellers in order to get the cheapest fares. The fare for home games varied between £16-
We have renewed 6 club season tickets for the 2016/17 season on the early bird scheme and members also purchased 12 away season tickets.
Peter thanked the Wolves ticket office, particularly Dave Wood, in meeting our requests for match tickets last season and thanked Dave Slape for his help during the season and Geoff Castro for booking accommodation on some of the evening away games.
7. Social Secretary’s report:
Roy reported that it had been difficult to organise events because of fixtures being changed for Sky. The Christmas event was cancelled because the match was switched . An event was held in November at which Mike Bailey attended which proved very successful as was the end of season meal and trip to Monmore.
Stuart will go to view a possible venue for this year’s Christmas event. Roy is also looking as an event on 22 October to coincide with the 50th Anniversary . A pre-
8. Newsletter Editor’s report:
Steve said that the newsletter is currently with the printer and it should be out in the next couple of weeks. He asked if any of the members had any articles that they could submit, these would be gratefully received.
9. Website Editor’s report:
It was reported that we now have 2600 followers on twitter.
10. 50th Anniversary Dinner:
Feedback for the event had been good to very good. There were a couple of hitches with the hotel over room bookings but these were resolved. Initially we had invited 31 guests but we were very unlucky with the responses and a number failed to respond. The response to the guests who did attend was very positive, particularly Kenny Jackett. The final attendance figure for the event was 160.
11. Election of Officers:
After some discussion it was approved by a majority to keep the committee at 11. Of the committee members 10 were willing to stand for re-
Following the resignation of Leo there was one vacancy on the committee. Dave Slape said that he had received requests to stand for the committee from Peter Abbott and Phil O’Connor. Both were proposed and seconded and the proposal was put to the room.
After a majority vote Peter Abbott was voted on to the committee to replace Leo.
12. Membership Fees:
Geoff Castro suggested that the membership fee remains the same for the coming season. This was approved by a majority vote.
13. Any other business:
Peter Abbott has been asked to stand as London Wolves representative for the Wolves Fan Parliament. This was agreed by the meeting.
Peter Bartlett raised the issue of sponsorship of Wolves Women and it was agreed that the club would continue their sponsorship for the fee of £500.
The WWLSC official 50th anniversary coincides with the Leeds match on 22 October. Tim Spiers of the Express and Star has offered to prepare an article about WWWLSC for the paper.
The committee is to look at amending the rules so that the website editor is included as a full committee member.
The meeting was closed at 15:15.
Plus Notes on the meeting -
The Paternoster looked after us very well (having enjoyed the 50th at Charlton). The minutes will show the apologies.

Extra cost was incurred for the new 50th badges (he has some available -
Events were somewhat curtailed with Sky cancelling Christmas although Roy arranged alternatives. Roy is looking for an alternative venue for Xmas -
The website made a small profit. The printer has been away but the special edition Newsletter with 50th pictures will be out soon. 160 attended the event with great feedback and special thanks to the guests (especially Jacqui Oatley). Paul Butler and his wife were delighted to have attended. Stuart also thanked Graham Large, Richard Skirrow, and Dave Instone for their help. The number of guests was critical for room charges which could have cost £3,500 (and used the float!)
Leo Masters offered to step down from the committee if there were candidates who wished to come on. Both Phil O’Connor and Peter Abbott volunteered. Peter was elected on a members’ vote. The website position was added to the executive committee retaining the two additional committee members via a rule change. Peter Abbott was also nominated as our representative on the Wolves Parliament. The membership fee was not changed pending the Treasurer's report to the next AGM
A vote of thanks was made to Paul Richards, Wolves fan liaison officer. The AGM voted to renew our sponsorship of the Wolves Women’s teams.
