I don't think they should J.C. it is only of importance to LISA members (and TBH the board will still function without a LISA rep) if it interests others then they should join, a statement from an organisation is different than placing it on an open bulletin board like this, an extraordinary AGM should be called by LISA and the pros and cons discussed, a vote postal or by members present on 1 whether a LISA rep should be on the BOD and 2 Who that person should be. There can be no other way a democratic decision is made but by it's members and this seems the only way.

I have a lot of email address fred but not all people have them, as I said I wanted to use a postal vote but got shot down.

Lynda, don't let the odd person shoot you down, their opinion is not neccesarily the opinion of everyone else. It was the same when Bert used to attend - just because he was one of the half dozen who liked speaking up he swayed desicions and spoke the majority whether they agreed or not.
Unfortunately a lot of people don't like to speak in front of a group - nothing wrong with that (I am one), so things need to go to a vote of ALL members - not just the few regulars (75% of whom don't speak up either).
Costs therefore should come from LISA funds for any stationery / postage etc. If not then those that don't find out about votes & changes etc will probably drop out of LISA so you would lose £60 per year compared with about 36p for a stamp.

Frankb here having to use another name because I was locked out when the site kept crashing a week last Sunday evening.

Before this goes to a postal vote (which would cost LISA over £200 of funds raised by supporters to fund players contracts incidentally)I want to know why this is so important.

I cannot see the point of a LISA member attending a Board meeting where effectively all they would be doing is listening to the Board members whose opinions matter.

Any points raised by fans be they LISA members or not can quite easily dealt with at the Fans Forums' on here' at LISA meetings or dare I say it by ringing the club.

Lets be frank there is absolutely no benefit to the club or LISA by a member sitting in on a Board meeting. And the idea of having a postal ballot seems a scandalous way of using LISA monies.

Now anyone who wants to be a candidate should explain how it would improve the club and then if I agreed with that I might change my opinion.

I have no agenda I just think this is a pointless excercise with absolutely no plus points.

Easy for you to say

I agree with Frank over the board member but disagree over the ballot. I agree with Leigh 24.7 that the price of the postal ballot would be better than loosing say four members. I'm affaid no one has given a proper reason why things have to change from the fantastic progress has been made between all parties upto now.
