Bees United has announced an extension to the deadline for receipt of nominations for the forthcoming Board Elections. The Supporters' Trust has also released a schedule of key dates during the election process.
The closing date for receipt of nominations has been extended by seven days to 8 October 2008.
The election process is being overseen by the Bees United Election Working Group, which comprises Board members, Paul Stedman and Mark Chapman and has an Independent Chair in Neil Le Milliere of the Exeter City Trust.
