Can't necessarily but dates to all of them, but we should be able to come up with the names easily enough.
Eddie Williams
my old mate Malcolm Smith
Mick Hill? or had he died before the last 15 years
Daphne Hill (again possibly out of this era)
Brian Nevett (RIP)
Nigel Collins (who could out-Boddy Boddy!)
Tom Herbert (currently Boddying Bromsgrove)
please add the rest!

Bob Mann died some time ago,
Trevor Griffiths is still around the club (and an excellent builder and good bloke as well)
Ron Lambert died some time ago
can't remember J Harris off the top of my head
Brian Nevett died some time ago
Malcolm Ruston (another good bloke) was very ill, I suspect he may no longer be with us, sadly
Alan Wills and Roger Pugh (both top blokes) were also on the board

The reason I asked for time periods served, was more one of ironic interest. By and large the Club has lost roughly 60k a season since 2000. Whilst I agree that the current board members are worse than useless for presiding over such a money losing shambles over the years and should all go, didn't Messrs Curtis, Jones, Bentley and Sorenson also serve as directors during this time period ? Yet the remaining directors are deemed to be a disaster, but the ex- Directors are being seen as the alternative saviours. Begs the question - why ?

I did raise this very question a few months ago.......
All I will say on the matter is that Mike Sorensen did a tremendous job in reducing the rate of loss and in keeping a tight a ship as possible, even if he did make some huge mistakes along the way, such as the Allner appointment and subsequent financial problems. Yes maybe he should have seen the way to developing a sound infrastructure for the club, but it's starting to look increasingly as though his hands were tied by those with vested interests in maintaining the status quo.

There are rumours of an inner caucus on the board and that the decisions were made prior to the board meetings, and, the meetings were just to provide the rubber stamp of approval.

I think there was a touch of irony in TJ's post. It was more than a rumour. In fact I heard BL ran the show - hence his signing of contracts without consulting the rest of the board. And he's still club secretary!
