There will be AGM of the friends of the linnets on July the 1st at the Kings Lynn football ground beginning At 7 o’clock due to unforeseen circumstances the meeting will be Chaired by Malcolm Hill , we have some very important decisions to make on moving forward
-
Congratulation Malcolm. I hope you enjoy your new role and make a success of it.
-
Seems like a good guy, so I am sure he will. :clap: :scarf:
-
Well done Malcolm. Go for it!
:scarf:
-
:bus: Cheers Mallard I sure will give it my best
-
What are the important decisions to be taken Malcolm ? if it’s lack of bodies maybe you could rally some support on here. Seems plenty on here who would like to offer their services, I’m sure.
-
Yes we need people on the committee who are forward thinking and to increase the membership but in my opinion the biggest thing that would increase the membership would be to change the name from Friends of the Linnets to Kings Lynn FC Supporters Club and be more transparent to the members. So there’s my thoughts on what needs to happen.

Thanks for the info Malcolm. Best of luck with all of it.
It will be a massive change if you call it a Supporters club. If you haven't already done so, can I suggest that you read up on the legal obligations that the Officials of the Supporters Club would have. I think I understand where you are coming from with this but the main thing that I can see that would have to change is the kind of relationship the newly formed Supporters Club would need to have with the Club, when compared to the relationship the FOTL currently has.
Transparency is always important. In most things, not being transparent usually means there's something to hide.

Malcolm, who's on the Committee at the moment?
-
At the last committee meeting only four people where there I have never seen a full committee in full attendance far from it
-
How many were on the full Committee Malcolm ? Including those who didn’t attend.
-
At the last committee meeting only four people where there I have never seen a full committee in full attendance far from it
I had heard it was light on numbers. Who are actually involved with running it (i.e. on the committee) at this moment in time?
-
Here’s hoping with Malcolm at the helm it will get a much needed shot in the arm to revive the interest and raise much needed funds to help the Club.
Be interesting to hear Malcolm’s ideas etc once the AGM has been held. Having a full committed person like him will rub off on many others.

Malcolm, I assume members will be contacted concerning the AGM at some point, rather than relying on people reading a forum? Is there an agenda and accounts going out to members beforehand? Also are you actively looking for new committee members and are there any specific positions that are vacant / you are looking to fill? Given that you are going to be chairing the AGM, can we take it that you are putting yourself forward as potential chairperson of FotL or whatever this new organisation might or might not be?
Apologies for what seems like a lot of questions but given how little information comes out of the FotL to the members and then post on a forum that raises more questions than answers is hardly any basis to hold a vote on what may end up being substantial changes to the constitution (is there anything in the current constitution about the required notice period for proposed changes to be circulated to the membership?)
-
At a AGM all positions are open.to be voted on I would assume the secatary will have the advertising in hand and yes all yearly accounts wil be.available on the night and yes there will be an agenda yes I will be standing for the Chairman position that’s if Iam nominated
The committee needs 3 officers and 9 members and all rules wil be adered on the night I hope this answers all your questions
-
The notice must be 14 days before the AGM
-
Malcolm, thanks for the update. Would still like a bit more information on what you yourself describe as "very important decisions" if that is to include changing the FotL to a Supporters Club.
-
Thanks again Malcolm.
Who are the current committee members?
Do you know if they will they be seeking re-election to their positions?
-
It would seem that the Chairman is not seeking re-election as Malcolm is prepared to take on that role. I’m sure Malcolm can get a decent team together to take The Friends forward.
Who is/was Chair, Vice Chair, Secretary and Treasurer?
-
B & G I have no idea who stand again except for the Chairman who won’t be
-
Tony M the changing off the name is the big one and in my opinion is the way forward
-
Tony M the changing off the name is the big one and in my opinion is the way forward
Presumably what is being proposed is more than mere window dressing (changing the name) but is in fact a reset of what the organisation is there to do and how it goes about it? I would guess there is a need to consider which bits of the Constitution are no longer applicable or need amendment and what additions would be necessary to facilitate the change in operation?
Out of interest, can you say what you think is currently wrong with the FotL and what positives would arise from this change in name for the future?
-
Just the name
-
Thanks again Malcolm.
Who are the current committee members?
Do you know if they will they be seeking re-election to their positions?
I can give you the Committee as of November 2019
Sue Cross (Chair), Zoe Sandle (Treasurer), Jamie Heaphey (Secretary), Malcolm Hill, Mark Mallows, Paul Bland, Matthew Green, Joshua Yates, Peter Salazar & Jamie Farr
-
Is that list up todate Malcolm? Or has there been changes since Nov 19 ?
-
I’m sure Malcolm that most if not all will wish you well with your stewardship of the FOLT. Many on here will offer any help or support we can.
It’s plainly obvious that you have the well being of the club as your no 1 priority. A true supporter of all things Kings Lynn Town FC.
-
That’s right I only have the well being of the club and how we can help in moving forward
-

Rumour has it that all of the committee have resigned,any truth in that Malcolm? :dontknow:
-
Not heard that one Griss where did you get the information from, it will be a new committee on the 1 at of July anyway So ithe slate will be wipe clean and a new dawn awaits onward and upwards can’t wait to get started
-
So Malcolm, who are the outgoing committee members, the ones not seeking re-election?
-
What’s gone so badly wrong with FOTL ? I always thought they were a tight group. Giving £000’s they had raised to the owner.
-
Well good luck to Malcolm in getting some good people on board and getting the thing moving in the right direction again :cup2: :scarf: :cheers:
-
How about yourself KES.? I would offer but I’m too far away these days.

Maybe you could offer a remote service. :dontknow:
-
I have considered it Mall over last 24 hrs and something I probably should have got involved in while Lynn based. I currently on a normal non Covid situation only get to Lynn about once every 6-8 weeks to see my parents and sometimes take in a match. Most of time I am flitting between Norwich and North Walsham ( home, work and in-law care), so don't think it would work... however as and when circumstances change and there are less demands on my time, I will seriously consider it again
-
In fairness Matt Hancock has been asked loads of questions,without giving any answers over the last 15 months. Not until this week has he come unstuck. So maybe Malcolm is just toeing the party line.
KES. Understand your situation. All we can do is support Malcolm with any fund raiser he brings to the forum. Not ideal but distance is always an issue.
If Malcolm wants any fund raising ideas. I’m sure plenty can offer these on here. I did last season which would have raised a few £K, but they got ignored. Maybe if they come from Malcolm they will be more favourably received.
-
Will lapsed members be allowed to attend the AGM? Many people who have an interest may have let their membership slide due to the current situation, this could be an ideal opportunity to renew their membership? Could always keep the bar open after the official meeting to allow non members the chance to join, maybe a bit of an open evening,a few football cards or something? Every little helps.

Good idea Griss. They could also use it as an opportunity to bring along any used and unwanted second hand furniture that the Club has been appealing for.
An all encompassing social event.........with benefits!
:scarf:
-
Why are the Club after 2nd hand furniture? SC auditioning for a Lovejoy remake ?
-
I have some loovrey doors going and know a man (and a three wheeled )van if that's any use !
Maybe the next podcast is on property and furniture renovation ?

I’ve got some lawn mower engines. They ain’t ordinary lawn mower engines, they are broken lawn mower engines.

The best sort in my book...those and broken strimmers.....

Must be involved in something pretty heavy at the mo, as he hasn't posted on Twitter for yonks......
Can imagine loads to do to pay for going full time.........maybe a TV documentary would be a money spinner...bit like Bangers and Cash, but for non league football rather than classic motors.

Business as usual by the look of it. From the Clubs website:
"..................the meeting will be for existing FOTL members ONLY" (fair enough, there's a limit of 30 people due to Covid restrictions).
Club's site also says that 3 people will be seeking re-election. Would it not be in the interest of the supporters and potential new members of the FOTL if it was disclosed who they are? I would think that prospective new members would appreciate knowing who was going to be representing them, especially if the FOTL becomes a Supporters Club.
Is it a secret and not for public to know?
New start and the slate wiped clean and start again? I haven't seen anything that convinces me that's the case so far. Seems to be a case of "as you were" :dontknow:

Funny you should say that, as someone I was talking to at Heacham mentioned that when Sky and BT camera's are here, they would share in that exposure. :dontknow:
-
B&G has a said before every position is open to be voted on to the committee the AGM so no one has asked to be realected at this time and like I said the Slate will wipe clean which you didn’t seem to get the point off it
-
Niki could you tell me your real name so I can tell you face to face that I might be old but I assure you I am up to this challange

From Clubs site:
4, The election and re election of 3 officers and 9 committee members.
Malcolm. Why won't you answer the simple question that has been put to you?
Please, who are the EXISTING committee members? What is it about that question that you don't understand, or are not prepared to answer?
Yes, we get the point about all positions being open, but that is not the question. :dontknow:

Not ideal that potential new members are unable to attend but with COVID restrictions it is understandable - I do wonder how many renewed their membership remotely for 2020-21 vs how many lapsed for last year
As for the committee - it is just a poorly worded press release, there are three 'officers' to be elected (which I guess in MAH's case it would then be a re-election) and a maximum further 9 committee members, although it remains to be seen if there are eleven others who are willing to step forward and help Mr Hill in his quest to wipe slates clean
-
Griss you need to ring Barry Fysh on 01553 673180 and renew your membership anyone who hasn’t got a e mail you can text me on 07962532917 if you wish to attend the AGM

Thanks Tony. I understand now. As you say, a badly worded statement.
By any chance, do you know who the existing FOTL committee members are?
-
B&G all the committee was posted on here in a previous post you obviously missed it look back and will find the list
-

I didn't miss it. I think you must have missed the fact that it was from nearly 2 years ago. The question which is obvious to everyone, is about now.
So, are you confirming that the list of committee members that you refer to are still the current ones?
This is what the post that you referred to said:
I can give you the Committee as of November 2019
Sue Cross (Chair), Zoe Sandle (Treasurer), Jamie Heaphey (Secretary), Malcolm Hill, Mark Mallows, Paul Bland, Matthew Green, Joshua Yates, Peter Salazar & Jamie Farr.
-
Malcolm ... Is FOTL A club run initiative or is it an independent body ?
Are you sure about Barry Fysh being the one to contact with regard to renewing membership? Fysh’s name doesn’t appear on the list of committee members ? Or are the FOTL using Non Committee members to hold official posts ?
Saying you have a lot to sort out Malcolm seems a bit of an understatement.
-
I agree with you Mallard 100% and yes we have a bit to sort out and I assure you it will be
-
B&G sue Cross for obvious reasons Jamie Heaphey also resigned I hope this answers all your Questions
-
To all lapsed Members of the friends of the linnets I can see no reason why you cant renew your Membership before the start of the AGM I will be there at 6 15 All membership will be up for renewal on the night
-

Malcolm, this isn't strictly true. All memberships cease AFTER the AGM (rule 6.5), so are you proposing that you will accept new 2020-21 memberships that last for the duration of the AGM and then people will need to have to take out a new membership for 2021-22?
-
B&G sue Cross for obvious reasons Jamie Heaphey also resigned I hope this answers all your Questions
Malcolm, thank you but I asked who the current members are, not who's left/resigned.
Or are you saying that the rest of the names on the list you previously referred to are still on the committee?
-
Wow you got it well done
-
Wow you got it well done
I got it? That's a bit rich coming from you ain't it?
:laughcry:
Why on earth are you so determined not to give a straight answer? Why the big secret over something that must be (or should have been) so simple to answer?
Apparently you're wrong anyway. At least one of those named claims to no longer be on the fotl committee. :dontknow:
-
Well there you go I didn’t know that and like I have told you there’s a lot to sort out and it will be
-
I guess there is lots for Malcolm to sort on the night. Have you been rallying support for the meeting Malcolm to ensure you have the right people at the meeting ?
-
I sense a bit of an under current here already, but do hope I am wrong. Whoever takes it on deserves full backing........I don't know Malcolm personally, but do wish him well. His stance on a few of the replies on here to perfectly decent questions from B & G and others seems a little defensive, which makes me think he has challenges in bringing it all together in the way he would.like. Let's hope there isn't any infighting or people being deliberately awkward behind the scenes.....if that were to be the case, I would advocate scrapping the whole thing and starting something new from scratch with a clean slate and new personnel.
-
I think the guy needs a chance to get things sorted out at the AGM. ( no easy task). Then let’s see how the land lies.
I hope he gets a strong body of men and women under him.
-
I second that !!
-
Tony of course there will a agenda and the accounts will read out and presented to the members present just like any AGM ,

Sorry Malcolm but I assume you are replying to someone else? I have seen the agenda (on the club press release) and have been to enough AGMs to have a rough idea of how they function
-
Good luck for tonight Malcolm.
I hope your enthusiasm gets the support it deserves, both from the Club officials and the Supporters.
:scarf:
-
Thankyou B&G I will give my best shot
-
All about leadership an being your own man Malcolm. Wish you well. I’m sure you will smash it.
-
Do let us know how you get on Malcolm.
-
Do let us know how you get on Malcolm.
Was it any good last night Malcolm?
-
I would suggest Malcolm has more important things on his plate than to post on here right now.
Taking the Chair on any committee is a big responsibility. I wonder if it’s now a true Supporters Club or still FOTL.
Hopefully Malcolm got a strong turnout from members only last night. The chap deserves it.
-
Mall, merely changing a name would have very little effect on the organisation if that was the only thing to change. As it turned out last night the name wasn't changed although it maybe worth noting that the full name of the organisation per their existing constitution is "The Friends of the Linnets - the official supporters club of King's Lynn Town F.C.", which it has to be said is a bit of a mouthful so I will be sticking with FotL!
Not a great turnout but membership had declined last season with many memberships lapsing as fans were unable / unwilling to go to the Walks. Malcolm was appointed chair and there was a bit of change across the committee as a whole but hopefully one of the things that was clear from the room was that there needs to be more communication to both members and non-members as to the FotL's activities, which in turn, will hopefully will lead to a larger, more engaged membership. Just to start banging the drum in that respect - all memberships ceased as of last night so now is the chance for everyone to sign up for 2021-22
-
Cheers Tony that about sums it up I wish we had seen the full title of the fiends ie Surporters club it would have saved a lot of time but I will in the future be using its Full title of The fiends of the linnets Surporters club with the hope that will satisfy everyone
-

So, is the plan to make the FOTL an Independent supporters club?
-
It has always been independent there will no change
-
It has always been independent there will no change
Has it? Well I never knew that! :dontknow:
You need to hit that point hard as I'm sure you will get more members if they know its not run by the Club, and the committee reports to its members and not the Chairman.
As it turned out last night the name wasn't changed although it maybe worth noting that the full name of the organisation per their existing constitution is "The Friends of the Linnets - the official supporters club of King's Lynn Town F.C.".
If its Independent, should it not have that discription in its name?
i.e."The Friends of the Linnets-the official Independent supporters club of Kings Lynn Town FC".
Just wondering. :dontknow:
-
What is actually wrong with the FOTL, and who are the people you deem need satisfying with the name that is acceptable ?
You know the saying Malcolm you can’t please all of the people all of the time.
-
I personally would leave the name as is.
You can stress the Independence if you wish.
Good I would have thought to run alongside the football club and keep things relatively harmonious all round, rather than making too much noise and implying too much distance to the point of casting adrift.....just my view
-
I think you have kick this around enough it time to put it to bed and move on to another subject
-
It’s a positive sign Malcolm that there is so much interest in it.
-
Mallard hope some people on here will join the club it’s only £5. Per year so except a flood of applications then again I won’t hold my breath
-
Malcolm, please list for me the main aims of FOTL..from your perspective as Chair....top 3/4 will do cheers
-
If you join the club you will get the full run down of what we want to improve I will except your £5 how do you want to pay it
-
Can I get a form to join please Malcolm ? Plus have all the committee members positions been filled ?
-
You sure can mallard I think you can down load it on the website if not I will make sure you can
-
It’s a positive sign Malcolm that there is so much interest in it.
I agree with him Malcolm.
You have certainly generated more interest in the fotl the official independent supporters club of Kings Lynn Town FC, than the people before you. I'm sure you will get lots of people rejoining, or joining for the first time, now they know the people running it are interested in driving it forward.
Keep up the good work, be transparent, and keep the information flowing.
:scarf: :scarf: :scarf:
-
Like I said before I will transparence out of the dark into the light onwards and upwards
-
You sure can mallard I think you can down load it on the website if not I will make sure you can
Malcolm.
I've just had a look on clubs website to see if I could find the membership form, so I could post a link to it on the forum.
I can't say for definite that its not on the club's site, but if it is I couldn't find it.
Can you look into it please? If you can find a link and forward it to me I'll pin it at the top of the forum for a few days to see if that helps with your recruitment drive.
I know for a fact that you are going to get at least two new members as soon as they can get access to the membership form.
:scarf:
-
Well I have just googled the friends to find out what their objectives and modus operandi are.........I did ask Malcolm on here, but he wanted my fiver first ha ha ! However, I take no offense and look forward to chatting to see if I might be able to help in some way
-
Hi it’s being worked on as we speak I thought it was already on the website
-
I’m trying to give my fiver to Malc and asking about vacancies. In the words of Diana Ross. ‘I’m still waiting’
-
Mallard I thought you could down load a form but apparently not but it will be on the website shortly new broom and all that
-
Thanks Malcolm will keep an eye open for it. Give me a gentle nudge if you spot it before me.
Has the full committee now been formed ? As in 3 officials and 9 committee members ? Also do you run with a Vice Chair, and if not what happens when you aren’t available ?
-
No there is room for 3 more with one pending so Iam getting there no there is no vice chair but it’s a good idea and we will appoint one
-
If you google "Friends of linnets application form "you will be able download one.
-
Well that’s good news but I want one where you can join and pay at the same timel
-
Good call Malc. Good to see you being proactive. Seems like you really have the bit between your teeth. I’m sure those on the Committee will enjoy serving under you.
-
I hope so we going to hit the ground running so watch this space I want to grow the membership of the club so we can really help our great club keep moving forward
-
If its called friends of the Linnets supporters club which is fotlsc.Adding SC to the name seems about right from what I understand they are trying to do at the moment.A fresh lick of paint on the surface and off you go.No different to throwing a few seeds and sand on the pitch and claiming its all been dug up and reseeded by professionals.
Nikki, nothing was changed or added to the name at the AGM. Just curious as to what you 'understand they are trying to do at the moment'. As I said, nothing was changed in the name or constitution, so no fundamental changes although hopefully with a refreshed committee we can see FotL raising their profile across the fanbase and generating some funds for the club.
-
Will the funds raised by FOTL be for the benefit of the Club AND THE FANS?. I’m sure there are several projects which could meet that criteria. Or is the idea just to blindly hand over cash to the owner to spend on wages etc at the Club ?
-
What’s concerning me is Nikki Male or Female
-
Malcolm check out her profile.
-
What’s concerning me is Nikki Male or Female
Why would that concern you,would you give different answers depending on gender? Very odd remark? :dontknow:
-
Been a few strange defensive replies on here. We all want this to be a positive experience, hopefully, so if someone raises a valid question, it is to be hoped they will receive an open and honest reply...that way, more and more people will be encouraged to join and participate.
-
I’ve seen nothing that would preclude me from joining. I’m liking the noises Malc is making. He certainly is full of enthusiasm and is looking to drive this forward. Seems like he is going to be his own man and not be swayed by outside influences.
-
I think it's great he is prepared to take it on.
I hope it will be a positive experience for everyone who wishes to get involved.
-
Hi Griss nice to hear from you ,regards when answering Nikki I will be careful off what I would say they are the fairer sex after all .well to say I have only been the Chairman for 3days I think I have created a bit more interest in the Fotlsc than before
-
That’s a given Malc. If that’s the feedback after 3 days imagine the response in 3 weeks or 3 months.
The man is onto something
-
Mallard hope some people on here will join the club it’s only £5. Per year so except a flood of applications then again I won’t hold my breath
I'd hate for you to have to hold your breath Malcolm, and feel its a shame that you feel that way. These are the people you have to work with and encourage to join, and is the task you have set yourself.
One suggestion I would make is not to call these people Buffoons. It was tried once before and caused a massive backlash which is still having an effect today.
-
It's ALL about engaging with people in the first instance. Once you have their ear, you are half way there.
-
B&G that would never happen and as for the people you have gone before I only have to thank them for their services after all they are volunteers
-
Malcolm, congratulations on your new position and well done for taking it on.
Can I just say that I think Mallard has raised a very valid point as to what will be the focus of the fundraising.
I would be happy to join and to support any events / activities if I could see a direct result of the fundraising.
I know you have a lot going on at the moment so perhaps you could firm up your thoughts over the next few weeks and get back to us.

Here ya go!

Malcolm. Just in case some would prefer to pay by cheque, what is the name on the Bank account?
Do people just have to make the cheques payable to "The Friends of the Linnets"?

Mallard I have asked for this to be sorted out and it will be ,we are having a committee on the 29th where we can sort a few things out and the way forward at times like this a wish I had still had my magic wand

Hopefully you can get things moving after the 29th Malc. Have you had any additions to the committee since the AGM to bring it up to the full number?
Big season ahead for you in support of the Club. Also has your point of contact at the Club remained the same ?
-
I have one contender but we still want a few more my relationship with the club is very good like I have said before I wish I still had my magic wand

-
Sounds a positive meeting Malc. You must be pleased with that start you have made in your role.
Any chance of posting the link for people to join ? I’m sure it would ‘drum up’ a bit of business for the FOTL. Are you still trading using that name or have you managed to change it ?

Well done Grissles. Good luck in your new role.
Now don't you go being "disruptive". :laughcry:
-
I believe John comes up with some good ideas and he will be a great asset to the new committee I feel we are coming out of the dark into the light and bridges need building if we all row in the same direction we will move forward
-
.......and bridges need building
Careful Griss.................sounds to me as if you are expected to break into a sweat!
if we all row in the same direction we will move forward
There ya go John. I told you that your experience of the Olympics would come in useful one day!
the fotlsc will take over the running of the travel to away matches
John, will you be asking your mate Nick to get involved and give you a hand on this one?
-

Go for it Grissles. Hope you give it your all, as you did when a Trust director. :cheers:
-
Malc, sorry to repeat myself but can you post the link up where I can join the FOTL.
-
Jamie Heaphy sent me this link.
https://www.kltown.co.uk/club/supporters-clubs/
I think Malcolm posted the bank details elsewhere?
-
Thanks Kenny but I thought Malc said there would be an online form and payment system. Was waiting for that too go live to join up.
-
Mallard I have asked for it to be put on the application form and I thought it had been done but I did post on here the bank details on here so you can use them to bank transfer just put your name on the bt
-
They are on page nine mallard

Malcolm. Jamie appears to have sent Ken exactly the same form as we posted on here on the 4th July for you.
Nothing appears to have changed. :dontknow:
-
I’m confused ( it don’t take much). Is there an online application form with an online payment opportunity included at the end ?
-

I don't think there is, but I believe that was what Malcolm had requested.
-
Not at the moment I have requested it to be put on there but you can join without filling the form in in the meantime just bank transfer into our account the figures are on page nine I hope this clears the matter up for you Mallard
-
Hi Malcolm,
I am still not clear on the full remit of TFOTL.
We are hearing from a large number of dissatisfied/disaffected supporters and past sponsors on here in relation to their experience with the club. Given that SC is looking to appoint a new Commercial Director, encompassing supporter engagement within his/her role, is there a possibility of a new dawn with the Friends being a bridge between supporters and the CD...or is this outside the scope of The Friends ?
-
It’s already happening I have met the New stadium Manager seems like a good bloke
-
Mallard the reason for the delay is the treasurer is changing Bank Accounts over to the Midland Bank
-
Malc if they are trying to move the account to Midland Bank then I can understand there is going to be some delay. Don’t think they have existed for 20 years.
-

Is there any reason why the existing one can't be used until then? All that would be required when the new account is opened, is for the account numbers to be changed on the website.
Setting up Bank accounts for Clubs can take quite a while these days. Hopefully you won't encounter any delays that I know others have in recent times.
-
There’s no reason why the present Bank Account cannot be used until the new account is opened the numbers are sort code 29 46 65 Account number 33269345 I hope this should help

Thanks.
Yes, people have already been made aware of the bank account number.
The question others are asking is if you can link it on line, so they can pay for it that way. The same way that they buy tickets for a game or club merchandise.

Just to lighten the mood and keep things positive............
I was talking to a friend of a friend yesterday, who used to be a taxi driver and who has developed a successful business during Covid.
What made him give up the taxi job in the first place.........well he's a sensitive individual and didn't like the way people were always talking behind his back.....drum roll, ting.
-
Has I keep saying it’s not on the application form as yet I have asked for it to be put it on
To no avail so watch this space
