Not taking a shot here but why with such a huge topic for the club and the people of Wakefield did the trust not request/demand official minutes?

And again this will come across poorly but- "it stops now"- hasn't the horse already bolted?

So Rodders did walk and wasn't pushed then?

Very Very disappointed in RMW, particularly if things were "going off" behind the Trust's backs. I worked with him over fifty years ago and had much respect for him then and ever since (until now), even though we are diametrically opposed in political beliefs.
He keeps a very low profile now unlike twenty or so years ago when he was almost part of the Look North and Calendar staff. Did he ever give any explanation for his resignation from the Trust??

As a retired accountant and company secretary I find it unbelievable that meetings were held and unlimited.
This would immediately raise a warning flag with me.
Who requested meetings to be held without minutes? Surely the trust should have smelled a rat.
Of greater concern though to me is that this Box controlled council has not got the gravitas to minute meetings.
What other things have they done behind the backs of the public.
Do they think that they are not accountable to the electorate.
Grow a pair Wakefield Express and let's start asking questions, starting with why a man of Sir Rodney Walker's stature and being a former Trinity director, engaged in such seedy meetings that he considered that notes should not be minuted. Secondly why does our council not take notes of meetings. Is this policy? I for one would never vote for any culprits found to to be engaging in this sort of activity.

Isn't hindsight wonderful. I guess the Trust had faith in the Chairman.

Has the horse already bolted ? SRW has resigned from the Trust, the 7 other Board Members remain and so the Trust continues.

He left on his own accord.

Did the Trust smell a rat - yes, that's why someone left. Did we try and stop him holding meetings on his own - yes, several times.

Has any one ever questioned his motives face to face?

Again please don't take this as a pot shot but it's simple business practice to note the conversations, updates and actions from every meeting. Hindsight is a wonderful thing yes but come on this is one of the most basic requirements of business especially when dealing with the likes of Box and Yorkcourt
As for the trust continuing, that's great but yes the horse has bolted as it appears to most that the club/trust have been played.

Very disappointing. Of all the people I thought would do us good to have on board it was RW. Seems all may not have been as hoped.
All this ground business makes Watergate look very tame!

What a sorry state of affairs it has all turned out to be, can someone please close the gate as the horse seems to have bolted.
