Proud Lilywhites Annual General Meeting and Election of Committee

Get your hands on Eric Dier’s Rainbow Laces plus more prizes when we host our hybrid AGM at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in June.
Dear <<First Name (required)>>,

We are further writing to remind you that the Proud Lilywhites 2022 AGM will be held at 14:00 - 15:00 ON SATURDAY 11TH JUNE at the TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR STADIUM. (It will also be available by Zoom for those outside London.)

After the AGM, we will be attending the OOF exhibition, a contemporary football/art gallery within the Tottenham experience. We'll be viewing an exhibition by queer artist Jakob Rowlinson, whose work explores football and queer identity. 

As required under the constitution, we are writing to you at least 14 days before the AGM with further details, including the agenda, accounts, and the minutes of last year’s meeting.

If you wish to attend the meeting, PLEASE CLICK HERE TO REGISTER.

A Zoom link will be shared in advance of the meeting.


There will be a prize draw for those who attend, where you could win one of Eric Dier’s rainbow laces and other prizes kindly donated to Proud Lilywhites.

13:30 Arrival
: Staff entrance by the ticket office 
14:00 AGM: West Supersuite 405
15:30 OOF: Art Gallery Exhibition 
16:00 Beavertown: Social meet-up after AGM

If you would like to declare an interest to stand for the committee (whether for a named officer role or a non-portfolio role), PLEASE COMPLETE THIS FORM BY 11.59PM ON SUNDAY 5TH JUNE

You may wish to include some brief notes (no more than 300 words) to support your nomination.  Declarations of interest after this time, up to and including the AGM itself, will only be accepted for election to the committee without portfolio, or for committee roles where nobody has yet declared an interest.

As ever, please do get in touch if there are any questions or if you would like to discuss any of the committee roles, further details of which are below.

Kind regards,
The Proud Lilywhites Committee

According to the constitution, the Committee comprises at least eight members who will be elected at an AGM and where possible will include the following office bearers and posts:

  • Co-chairs (two): responsible for, amongst other things, the successful running of The Association and overall relationship with THFC and other stakeholders; the two Co-Chairs will be different genders where possible
  • Secretary: responsible for, amongst other things, administration associated activities within The Association including the maintenance of membership records
  • Treasurer: responsible for, amongst other things, collecting subscriptions and managing the budget of The Association 
  • Match Day Officer: responsible for, amongst other things, match day events,  travel and tickets for the Association and its members, liaising with THFC and other LGBT fan groups
  • Communications Officer: responsible for, amongst other things,  managing communications channels including social media and liaising with the media/PR representatives of THFC
  • Community Liaison Officer: responsible for, amongst other things, liaising with the Tottenham Hotspur Foundation and other community organisations
  • Entertainment Officer: responsible for, amongst other things, the organisation of social/virtual events

However committee members (except co-chair, secretary and treasurer) can define their roles collectively after the election.

As ever, we are keen to represent the incredibly diverse Spurs fan base, and encourage members of all LGBTQ+ orientations, genders, faiths and ethnicities to consider becoming part of the committee, and help run our Association.

The agenda is as follows:

1.    Welcome and apologies  
2.    Approval of 2021 AGM minutes  
3.    Approval of 2021/212 accounts  
4.    Co-Chairs’ report  
6.    Committee elections 
7.    Prize competition/draw 
8.    What do you want to see from us next season? 
9.    AOB and close
 

We have attached a copy of the minutes of last year's AGM and a copy of this season's accounts are available here.

Further declarations of interest will be accepted between now and the AGM, and at the AGM itself, for those committee roles where no-one has yet declared an interest, and for election to the committee without portfolio. 
 
If you’re unable to attend the AGM, but would like to vote, we will be sending proxy vote forms as soon as nominations close. 

Proxy votes (to be sent to the secretary) will be added to those cast at the meeting. You can also vote for RON (Re-Open Nominations) for any of the committee positions if you believe that candidates are unsuitable and you would like further options. Your voting preferences will not be disclosed.
