The End Of HUISA
A decision was taken to dissolve HUISA at their AGM this evening. Whilst for technical reasons this can't happen until next month, in reality HUISA has come to the end of its life.
The AGM held at the Richmond Club was attended by 30 members plus those on top table, chairman Keith Dodd, secretary Dave White, treasurer Nicki White, vice-chairman Dave Weaver and away travel organiser Richard Burkin.
The main item on the agenda was to make a decision on the future of HUISA. Both the chairman, secretary and treasurer told the meeting they didn't want to continue in their positions and as there had been no nominations to fill the posts, a decision was forced on the meeting.
Ken Kinnersley proposed that HUISA be dissolved and this was agreed but then came the problem of what to do with HUISA's shares and money. As their constitution stands any assets pass to the manager of Hereford United. However Kinnersley felt that given the situation at the club the assets should be passed elsewhere. This was agreed but then came a long debate about how this should be done and to whom the assets should pass.
Eventually it was decided that another meeting would be held on Monday September 1st to change the constitution. All members will be sent a letter/e-mail to inform them of the meeting and also give them two options about the shares and money.
The first option is to move both the shares and money to the Supporters Trust, the second option to to transfer the shares to the Trust but give the money to UITC, United in the Community.
Once that has been decided, HUISA will be no more.

MEMBERS UPDATE
HUISA recently contacted its members asking for their views and opinions on the current situation at Edgar Street, and what they would like to see happen, and we stress this was not a poll. The responses that we received are as follows.
40% of the membership replied either by e-mail, post or verbally. 65% of the replies expressed a view to a boycott of Edgar Street. 23% expressed a wish that HUISA should affiliate with the Trust and 12% revealed a willingness to carry on supporting the club.
With these results it would appear that HUISA and its members would back an Edgar Street boycott. HUISA would also look further into an affiliation with the Trust for a united voice.
It is evident that a certain amount of HUISA members, and supporters in general, still wish to carry on supporting the club at this time.
The wishes of these people MUST be duly respected and HUISA would not, as does not, condone any harassment or abuse by others expressing different opinions.
Many thanks to those who replied with their views.

NOTICE OF AGM AND UPDATE
HUISA would like to give notice of their AGM. The meeting will take place at the Richmond Place Club on Monday 4th August 2014 commencing at 7.30. All members are urged to attend. We would usually have the meeting on the day of our first home game but as this is in doubt, and with lots of things to discuss, and with the potential of people boycotting the games, we felt that the AGM would be better served during the week.
As some members know, Dave White, who has been standing in as secretary for the last few months, will be standing down from the HUISA committee completely at the AGM, meaning HUISA will require a new secretary/membership administrator.
At this weeks committee meeting, the HUISA committee discussed and read through the replies received so far.
HUISA chairman Keith Dodd also tendered his resignation from the HUISA committee, again with effect from the AGM.
These two important roles will need to be filled in order for HUISA to carry on in its current role. Therefore, any member wishing to stand for election to the committee/officer role, need to notify HUISA prior to the AGM. Nominations may be submitted by contacting HUISA at PO Box 1999, Hereford, HR2 7WA, or by e-mail to huisastaff@gmail.com, stating their name, a proposer and a seconder and who MUST be current HUISA members.
At this time, Dave White, would like to take the opportunity to thank the HUISA chairman, officers and members, past to present day, for their support. Being involved in one way or another with HUFC for over half of my life, I feel that new blood is needed, with some fresh impetus. There have ben many happy times and some awful lows, but in that time I have met some great people who will always remain close to my heart and lifelong friends.
Once again, a big thanks to you all and keep the faith.

UPDATE Members views are still coming in, as some members have had to be sent letters asking for their views, HUISA have decided that Friday 11th July will be the cut-off point for collation purposes. We will, on Saturday, announce the general view from our received replies. At this moment, it would appear that our members views are broadly in line with the result of the vote carried out by HUST.

HEREFORD COUNCIL/ LEASES
HUISA have today contacted Hereford council to request that the re-assigning of the leases to Edgar street be avoided at all costs at this time. With the new regime not appearing to be open and transparent with the supporters , it gives concern that there could be ulterior motives behind the move. We ask all members and supporters in general to contact their local councillor with there concerns.
CHRIS PRICE EVENING
Last night's Q and A with Chris Price at the starlight room raised £175.00 for the fund raising committee.
This will be lodged with HUISA as previous monies have and will be held until such time as the club is on a more sound footing.
Many thanks to Chris and to the supporters.

HUST/HUISA Meeting June 9th
The board of HUST and the HUISA committee met tonight to discuss current events.
The group were introduced to Mark Ellis, who is to be recruiting players for the club over the coming month. He outlined the way he wanted to recruit players and the way he wanted to set up training diaries and plans. He was unable to talk about the business side as it was not his remit.
Due to the recent events at the club, HUST and HUISA discussed what options were open to us and at present, until the club's future is decided, we have little option other than to sit and wait.
HUST have invited HUISA to affiliate and work with them and HUISA will take this forward to members at the forthcoming AGM. It is felt that HUST's access to knowledge and legal expertise would be invaluable to the future of Hereford United.
HUISA will discuss the matter at their forthcoming AGM and will go with the majority of votes cast. HUISA will still have it's own identity and committee, and still carry on doing what they have been doing successfully over the last two decades.

TODAYS EVENTS
On hearing this afternoons news that it appears the football creditors have not been paid, HUISA would like to add their support to the statement from the Trust published tonight on Bulls News.
HUISA would like to clarify the notion that they were aware of the new owner 2 weeks ago. HUISA chairman, Keith Dodd, was introduced, at the club, to a gentleman called Tommy on 28th May and was told that he was one of the possible consortium, he was not told the persons surname. Keith only had it confirmed to him on 2nd June, that the man he was introduced to previously was, in fact, Tommy Agombar. This news was then made public by the Club.
It would appear that ALL supporters groups, and fans in general, have been promised a lot and given nothing. We are utterly disgusted at the treatment that the Football Club is showing to its loyal fanbase, players and staff.
After this weekends' outcome, HUISA will be looking to meet with the Trust to see where we go from here. It is imperative that we meet with Club representatives as a matter of urgency, on a UNITED front.

MEMBERS MEETING BRIEF
Please find below a brief list of points brought up at last nights meeting.
Approximately 45 members turned up for last night's meeting held at the Vice-Presidents Club. Unfortunately, as with the previous weeks HUST meeting, the Chairman was unable to spread any light on the proposed investment in the Club. Some members who arrived early, spoke to David Keyte and he stated to them that the deal was almost there and an official statement was to be issued later that night.
The Treasurer gave a brief report on the season's financial situation. The 50/50 draw had raised over £10500, donations had also increased. We had made donations to the Club for two loan players to be brought in, paid money towards the HMRC bill, assisted with first team bus hire and, in conjunction with HUST and others, donated money for youth team travel. Most recently, HUISA have paid directly to BT, the Clubs' outstanding phone bill. Most of these donations have resulted in shares being given to HUISA, which has now amounts to HUISA having a holding of 44676 shares.
HUISA has been involved with the Working Group of the Trust and will continue to work alongside them for the good of the Football Club.
Members expressed their concerns about the lack of communication coming from the Club, which was in turn, leading to much speculation. Unfortunately, HUISA are in the same position as other supporters' groups in just having to wait to see how the financial situation unfolds.
Members present were informed that, as and when, the new investors are in place, we will be urgently seeking a meeting, jointly with the Trust and London Bulls, to seek and clarify their position and how all supporters groups can work alongside the Football Club going forward.
All-in-all, with the situation at the Club at present, the meeting was as positive as it could be and one thing which was evident, is this Club has a fantastic hardcore band of supporters who purely want Hereford United to survive and progress.
We will keep members updated on events as and when we have news to report.
