Joining forces with another organisation is, surely, a constitutional subject, and should be decided upon at an EGM/AGM of PIRAG.
The “steering committee” do not have the power, IMHO, to make such a decision without consulting the membership, unless it is written in the constitution, and because the “steering committee” have not yet submitted a draft of the proposed constitution the I think this “amalgamation” is not democratic.
Just a thought....

Because PIRAG is intended to be more than just a fundraising organisation. It's about giving fans a collective voice through a legitimate recognised organisation. A fully independent supporters group that hopefully in time will be fully established and afilliated with supporters direct, an organisation that represents and helps groups of fans across the country.

I think it would be good if those heavily involved with PIRAG could put in more detail on here what they're about because I genuinely believe the more members they get the better it will be for us a fans and ultimately for the club as well.

From the meetings I've been to I can say they have a lot of good information that fans can use to make an informed decision based on facts, not perceptions, it needs to be out there.

Fair do's dominance.

@stealth .... The first paragraph basically explains what we are about with the
addition of trying to raise funds for squadbuilder.

That sums it up in a nutshell.

As far as I am aware, it has not been set up to be in competition with other activities but to complement them in the same way that the much misunderstood and maligned (by the club) KISA tried to do.

It is paramount that organisations like this have a legitimate, recognised constitution and are independent of the club. I see no reason why it can't join with squadbuilder as long as the members want this, and the constitution reflects this. But I believe the members would need to vote for this to happen. Some are members of both organisations already.

It's a shame more fans did not attend the early meetings.

I was under the impression that the "temporary" Steering Committee was set up with the sole intention of establishing a Democratic Supporters Trust, which it has yet to do. I maintain that the steering committee do not have the democratic power to change the setup of PIRAG. I believe that the Steering Committee should concentrate on the job in hand i.e. establishing the Supporters Trust before going out on a limb.
