David, Eric & Ken have all made substantial contributions to the trust during their time on its board, and all at SMiSA thank them for their hard work and dedication over the past months and years.

Following on from the news that David Grier has resigned from his position as SMiSA Chairman, Alistair Colquhoun has volunteered to take up the vacant position.  No other members of the trust offered to do so at the recent AGM, and as a result there was no requirement for an election to be held.

All at SMiSA wish to thank Alistair for volunteering to take on the new role and are confident that he will help take the trust forward in a positive direction.

SMiSA wishes to announce that the trust AGM has been confirmed as being moved in line with the Hearts game to SUNDAY 30TH SEPTEMBER at 11.00am in Suburbia, Shuttle St Paisley.

Stewart Gilmour and Bryan McAusland will arrive at mid-day to answer questions and the meeting will close at 1.00pm sharp so that all fans can make their way to the Hearts game at 2pm.

The trust appreciates that, as with the game switch the time of the meeting is far from ideal but it is vital that there is a good turn out for this meeting as it may well be the most important meeting in the history of SMiSA.

There will be a number of issues discussed and voted upon, one of which is the issue of reducing the minimum membership subscription.  Members should receive a copy of the voting issues for the meeting, as well as a copy of the annual accounts, presently via post if they have not already.

SMiSA wishes to announce that all of its members should shortly receive details of the annual accounts for the year 2005/6, and notification of the trust's AGM via post.

Details of the AGM will also be posted online as soon as is possible.
