The Management Comittee Election Candidates are as follows:

Candidate: Keith Smith MBA
Proposer: Patrick Cuneen
Seconder: Keith Knight

Address: Although now living outside the borough, I'm Enfield born, taught, 
married and bred. When I was a lad I would go along with dad and sit in the 
stand at Southbury Road. In recent years I've been doing the same with my 
teenage children (except we stand behind the goal). Listen and there is just 
a chance you'll hear me shouting.

You need a balanced supporters' society board that has the skills to deliver 
the vision, strategy and structure of a new ground, winning team and a 
community based club. I have a Masters Degree in Business Administration and 
I am a self-employed business consultant/ projects manager. My normal work 
involves understanding needs, specifying needs in business terms, managing 
tendering processes, negotiating and managing expensive business projects 
from start to finish, on time and to budget.

I am encouraged that many supporters are doing something to help the club and 
I would like with your support to use my skills to do my bit.

Candidate: Frank Cartwright
Proposer: Andy Hatvani
Seconder: Derek Robinson

Address: My name is Frank Cartwright, 53 years old, married and have two 
grown up children. I have supported Enfield since the early 1980's and have 
always been proud of our heritage. The supporter's decision to breakaway and 
form ETFC was brave and although we must remember our history it is important 
that we look to the future and plan accordingly.

The clubs objectives are ambitious, demanding and achievable. Trust, patience,
 consultation and good communication will be required as the way we run our 
club will impact on supporters and community alike. 


To conduct our business we will need to adopt a professional approach. I am 
very positive with skills in man management techniques and project management,
 which are key in helping achieve the clubs ambitions, and in building 
relationships between supporters and the local community. I would 
work enthusiastically as part of the team making a positive contribution to 
the club and its supporters, as I believe a positive approach will help in 
the challenges and potential threats to be faced.

I wish you to consider me a suitable candidate for election to the Society 
Board and I look forward to the prospect of working together towards our 
common goals. 

Candidate: Gordon Bentley
Proposer: Martin Bentley
Seconder: Patricia Bentley

Address: I am a retired Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Secretaries (age 
72) and therefore not only have extensive business and administrative 
experience but some spare time to make them available to the benefit of 
Enfield Town Football Club. I have supported Enfield FC and now the Town for 
over 20 years and regularly attend home and away matches. I can usually be 
found standing behind the goal with a motley crowd of other football nutters 
and therefore if elected will always be readily available to listen to 
members comments and suggestions.

Candidate: Roger Reed
Proposer: Cheryl Reed
Seconder: Dave Bryant

Address: Since being asked to take on the role as Secretary of our club I 
believe I have demonstrated my ability as an administrator.

My skills have developed through a long career in senior management with the 
Post Office and more latterly in a variety of posts within the world of 
football. I was Secretary of Enfield FC for four years and a member of the 
Ryman League Management Committee for two years before giving up both 
positions to join Enfield Town.

I am currently employed by the Middlesex County Football Association as their 
Football Development Officer, a post that has given me considerable insight 
in to funding opportunities and the related procedures. I ask for your vote 
to enable me to employ my skills and experience for the benefit of our club.

Candidate: Paul Millington
Proposer: Dave Bryant
Seconder: Roger Reed

Address: The Committee's efforts to date have brought us to the point where 
we are again enjoying being part of a football club in Enfield. I am proud to 
have served as Vice Chair of the EST and as a Supporters Representative on 
the Council's Task Force during this time. 

There is still however a long way to go. The task of securing our own ground 
is clearly our priority and it will need even greater efforts to achieve 
this. I am confident that by gaining the backing of the council the club will 
go from strength to strength and reclaim what was lost when Southbury Road 
was sold. I would welcome the opportunity to continue to be part of the team 
that will work tirelessly to further our club.

Candidate: Dave Bryant
Proposer: Paul Millington
Seconder: Roger Reed

Address:I would like to ask for your support to continue to serve on the 
Enfield Supporters Society Board. As some of you will know as the current 
chair of the Society I have had the privilege of being acting chair of 
Enfield Town FC. I am very proud to have been involved, as have so many, with 
the creation of a unique football club, one that is owned, run and largely 
financed by it's supporters. To date in many respects we have exceeded our 
expectations but there will undoubtedly be set backs on and off the pitch. 
However when difficult decisions have to be made they will be made by the 
clubs supporters. The major obstacle facing the club over the coming months 
will be the search for a permanent home which we can develop to allow our 
club to progress. This will not be easy and may take longer than we would all 
want. Although the interim executive of the society is already attempting to 
make progress on a permanent ground I believe this must now be our top 
priority and if elected I would like the opportunity to complete this work.

Candidate: Martin Cantrell
Proposer: Dave Bryant
Seconder: Paul Millington

Address: I am currently a member of the management committee of the ESS. My 
main contribution has been in respect of our constitutional structure and our 
important relationships with the Co-operative movement and Supporters Direct. 
I seek election to have the opportunity to carry on with the work to get our 
team back to the Conference with a ground of our own in Enfield. A ground we 
can be proud of and where we, and all members of the community, can enjoy 
football. Our ground will provide a focus for our football in the community 
schemes. I would work to ensure that our club is run democratically and 
efficiently. To progress we need both a strong football team and a strong 
management team.

I started supporting the other club in the 1960's, and although I have not 
always lived locally, continued to do so until our club was created.
I attended Lavender school and then Enfield GS. I then studies law at 
Liverpool University and qualified as a solicitor. I now lead the team of 
employment lawyers providing advice to two Government Departments.
Additionally, I have an MBA from the Open University. I am married with a son 
and a daughter.

Candidate: Andy Hatvani
Proposer: Derek Robinson
Seconder: Ian Robinson

Address: I have been a member of the original committee since its inception 
which initially developed the Enfield Supporters Trust and now, more 
recently, Enfield Town Football Club. 

I feel very proud to have been associated with local, enthusiastic people who 
have been able to take on an established "organisation" and show that 
football in the community is not just about money.

During the last 16 months, many hours have been spent by many people in 
bringing us to where we are now and it is to these people we all have to give 
a vote of thanks because without their efforts none of this would have 
happened.

To see the atmosphere generated on match days, and the support received by 
all, leads me to believe that we have created a successful community football 
club which can only get better in the future. I wish, with your support to 
carry on being part of its continued development.

People come and go, roles change, and new ideas are developed and taken into 
consideration so I call upon all fans to continue with their support for 
their new committee and enjoy the good times which we hope lay ahead.

Candidate: Derek Robinson
Proposer: Raymond Gains
Seconder: Ian Robinson

Address: I am a member of the current ESS Management Committee and am seeking 
re-election to the society's board.

I was an active supporter of EFC for many years and had served on its General 
Purpose Committee for a considerable time, latterly as its chairman.
The past eighteen months have been, in turn, frustrating, depressing and 
finally, exhilarating. Following the initial success of ETFC on the pitch, I 
look forward with eager anticipation to the ongoing efforts that will be 
required to bring about the delivery of a permanent home of its own for the 
club within the borough, from which we can not only drive the march of the 
first team up the non-league pyramid, but can also further our commitment to 
the support of youth and ladies teams and other 'football in the community' 
schemes. 

Candidate: Ciaran Glennon
Proposer: A Glennon
Seconder: T Willard

Address:The future of Enfield Town Football Club is in Enfield. Having 
worked with the Management Committee to establish the club, I believe it is 
now essential to concentrate on providing a permanent home within the 
community. In order to build on the success of the past few months, it is 
necessary for the club to work with the local community and the council to 
build a new force in football within the Borough of Enfield. I would like to c
ontinue with the work being done to ensure a successful club for the people 
of Enfield to be proud of. 

Candidate: Keith Wortley
Propsoser: Steve Wortley
Seconder: Paul Reed

Address: Many of you will already know that I carry out the duty of Football 
Secretary, having done so since the beginning of our inaugural season.
My experience dealing with football administration and relating to supporters 
goes back to 1985 when I was invited to become Membership Secretary of 
Enfield Football club.  

For the 1987-88 season I gave up this role to become Football Secretary, 
gaining experience of administration in the Football Conference.
From season 1990-91 until the formation of Enfield Town Football Club I was 
in a similar position dealing with matters relating to the Isthmian Football 
League.

During that time I have gained a broad knowledge of football administration 
dealing with the many personalities involved in the game.
It is my intention to stand for the position of Football Secretary for the 
coming term and I look forward to your support at the AGM on 24th October. 

Candidate: Paul Reed
Proposer: Rebecca Heal
Seconder: Scott Reed

Address: I am currently a member of the ESS executive committee and would 
like your support to continue this.
The ESS have achieved so much in a very short space of time. There is 
however, still a great deal to do, most importantly to find a permanent home 
within the borough and to establish firm links with the local community. I'm 
sure that with the backing of the supporters and the council, the new 
committee will be able to deliver these objectives.

I have taken an active role in the running of Enfield Town FC, I was 
responsible for the sales and administration of Season Tickets and I also 
assist in managing the finances of the club.

I have supported football in Enfield for over 20 years and was on the 
Supporters Club Committee of Enfield FC where I served as Secretary before 
leaving to join what is now the ESS. 

Candidate: Scott Reed
Proposer: Julie Higgins
Seconder: Lee Harding

Address: After many months working for the future of football in Enfield I 
would welcome the opportunity to continue serving on the Society’s Management 
Committee.

I have mainly been involved in the commercial and administration side of the 
Society and have found ETFC’s evolution both challenging and rewarding.
Whilst I am proud of what the Management Committee has achieved so far I am 
under no illusions as to the difficulty of progressing up the football 
pyramid. Many more months of hard work and no doubt set-backs lie ahead and 
we have to treat our disappointments the same way we have treated our 
triumphs and build on them.

I ask the membership to elect me on to the Committee in order that I can help 
continue the work of the ESS Management Committee and give the community of 
Enfield what they deserve - a football club in the borough at the highest 
sustainable level possible.
