PAULINE MEAKINS is also chair of the Chester City Exiles. She is keen to ensure that communication links between the Trust and the Exiles are maintained for the benefit of the Chester City Diaspora worldwide.

Whilst Pauline accepts that she may not live in Chester she feels that her employment experience in the field of PR will be of benefit to the board and its activities.

It is obvious that a 'small' club like Chester is always going to find it tough to make ends meet financially but a strong and active Supporters Trust that works with all the supporters of Chester City can work together to ensure that the club is kept on a sound financial footing. Also the most successful Trusts work closely with the Board of Directors of the Club and I think it is important to keep that good relationship going with the Chairman. However, the Trust has to keep an open mind and owners do not last for ever and now is a vital time to build up a very strong Chester City Supporters Trust so that we have a good basis to ensure the club survives any more crises. Similarly I think the Trust could play an important role in the Community both with the Council and also in supporting football in the community both and I would like the Trust to make those links and support stronger
