The Committee of QPR 1st would like to express our great sadness on the resignation of two founder members of the Trust from the Committee. We would also like to thank them for devoting literally nearly all their spare time and some not so spare time to Trust activities. It is completely fair to say that without them this Trust may not have been born in the first place. The nine remaining Committee members will cover their responsibilities until we can recruit some new co-optees. Below, Tracy and Leon give a parting message:
A message to all QPR Supporters
It is with much sadness, that after two and half years of being active committee members on the QPR 1st management board, I am announcing the resignations of Leon and myself from our positions of Secretary and Membership Secretary for QPR 1st Supporters Trust.
There are a number of reasons – including disillusionment with the current Board of QPR directors, which in itself has made our commitments to the Trust very hard to implement due to the said disillusionment, as well as other personal commitments – that has led to us taking this decision, which has not been taken lightly with many, many hours of thought and deliberation having taken place.
On a personal note, with myself being an independent person I have felt that my own ‘activist’ tendencies have not helped the Trust Management Board in its longterm aim in achieving a relationship with the Board of QPR, and therefore feel that for the best of all concerned, I am better off on the outside so to speak.
I will still be an active member of the Trust and I have already informed my ex colleagues that should they need any help in the future, whether it be with writing a letter, asking questions, or even if they ever need someone to chain him/herself to the gates of Loftus Road, I will always be available.
There are also a number of loose ends to tie up and Leon has agreed for the time being to finish off updating the data for the latest Trust Shares Register list, and to update the member’s database with details for any new members until a replacement is found.
I would like to conclude by saying that the last two and a half years have proved to be the biggest learning exercise of my entire life and I feel extremely honoured to have worked with such a variety of committed Queens Park Rangers supporters, both past and present committee.
I sincerely hope that Trust members do not feel Leon and myself are letting them down too much – and who knows, maybe in the future we/one of us may well wish to re-enter the restrictive but oh so wonderful world of committee!) – and I would like to thank all members, past, present and original registrants, for the support and help you have given the Trust. Please continue to give QPR 1st Supporters Trust your support because trust me when I say the Trust will be needed very much in the future.
Come on U Rrrrrrssssssss
Tracy
