Congratuations Charlie – the RICT Fan of the Season!
The Red Imps Community Trust is delighted to announce that our Fan of the Season for 23-24 is Charlie Beeston. We received many nominations for Charlie and our panel had no hesitation in choosing him to be the fourth winner of our Fan of the Season award.
Charlie has been a prominent advocate for better facilities for blind or partially sighted supporters at football matches and had much influence in the setting up of an Audio Descriptive Commentary system at the LNER stadium. He has also contributed to the setting up and running of the Disabled Supporters Association at Lincoln City. Many Imps fans will also know of Charlie from his entertaining podcast and other media activities. Other fans were the subject of nominations of course and with some extremely close to winning. In the end it was Charlie Beeston who we selected and he’s a very worthy recipient of our Fan of the Season silver salver.
VACANCY FOR THE TRUST’S FAN-ELECTED DIRECTOR ON THE CLUB…
At our recent Annual General Meeting, only one nomination had been received by the due date for the election of our representative on the Board of Directors of Lincoln City Football Club. Unfortunately, three days before the AGM, the nominee withdrew his application for medical reasons. We wish him well with his treatment and recovery.
The Trust Board plans to call an online Special General Meeting (provisionally arranged for 7pm on Wednesday 11/09/24), so that the vacancy can be filled. Further details will be confirmed in due course.
In the meantime, we must seek nominations for that role, a description of which can be found by clicking on “The Trust” tab at the top of this page, followed by “Trust Documentation” and then “Trust Roles”. The successful candidate must satisfy two requirements before taking office. First, the EFL’s Owners & Directors’ Test must be passed. Secondly, the Club’s Board of Directors must approve the appointment. Those matters will be dealt with following the SGM. Rob Bradley, the previous incumbent, will happily provide any more information that may be required: he can be contacted via email at media@redimpstrust.co.uk.
Nominations forms can be downloaded from this link.
Completed forms must be received by Steve Freestone, the Trust Secretary, by midnight on Tuesday 13/08/24, which is the day of the Carabao Cup match against Harrogate Town.
