A secret ballot will be held to elect directors.

One third of the board retires each year by rotation and Nigel Hodgkins and Terry Ford are standing down this time.

Both want to be re-elected, as does Harvey Hunt.

Mr Hunt, managing director of ACS Building & Maintenance, replaced former chairman Mick Brady on the board in May but must now be voted in if he is to continue as a director.

Chairman David Hucker has made it clear how he wants the vote to go. In a statement posted on the club website he said: "There are three vacancies and three candidates, so they can all be elected."

"However, they do not come as a package but as individuals and shareholders can elect as many as they wish. Not every vacancy on the board has to be filled."

"In looking at the candidates, shareholders need to consider who is best able to take the club forward and manage its affairs in their interests."

"Both Nigel Hodgkins and Harvey Hunt come with the unanimous support of the other directors."

Proceedings start at 11am. Only shareholders and their appointed proxies can attend.

Paul O'Rafferty of Leamington Lions won the Charter Standard Coach of the Year Award in the Birmingham County FA annual awards at the NEC.

The Lions chairman, known to all as 'Raff', was selected from 200 coaches to win the award for his work with the women's and girls' set-up.

He said: "I am very proud of what I have achieved over the past six years, but I couldn't have done it without the support of my family and everyone else involved with the Lions."
