Stuart especially wanted to thank Simon for spending the whole afternoon with us and regaling the AGM with his great, entertaing stories

He also announced that our player of he season 2022-23 was Wolves Captain Ruben Neves and confirmed his highlight of the season being awarded the Worldwide Wolves UK club of the season for the fourth year running.

The AGM covered the usual points, the committee being returned in a vote and Carol’s accounts were accepted.   The AGM also decided  that there will be no increase in fees for the upcoming year.  Special resolutions on joining the FSA as an affiliate instead of an associate, and on association with the Wolves 1877 Trust, were passed.

2021 AGM - summer in London - Saturday 17th July 3pm Meeting summary and Gallery

great turnout (including (apparently) official nutters) was greeted by Chairman Earl still suffering from having to wear his protective boot.  Hopefully that will be removed in time for the first home match.

Some notes on the meeting - minutes will be published later by Matt.  Stuart welcomed Neil Dady from the Wolves Trust 1877 but unfortunately Alan Perrins was unable to attend at the last minute.  Stuart had special thanks for Steve Ray for getting the Newsletter out, in spite of his arduous NHS work, saying it is of the highest quality yet.  Steve was again on weekend call-out so unable to attend.   Congratulations were due to Mr and Mrs Woodifield.  Secretary Slape has been unable to run train raffles of course and his expenses are mainly postage.

Carol  has introduced direct bank transfer payment* for members wishing to pay e.g. for tickets travel etc to save them and Peter having to carry significant sums of cash around but asks members to give more details on what the payment is for.  

Travel has been significantly curtailed of course, the last outing before the Man Utd matchday 38 match being Olympiakos but Peter is booking this year's.  (see above).  Peter again thanked the Ticket Office and Dave for all their support.

Steve is working on the 2021 end of season newsletter.  The Website ran at a £96 deficit as advertising dried up.  In addition there was a copyright settlement charge of £150 and we are being pursued by the "picrights" people for a lot more.  Valuable suggestions were made by Peter D and Neil on handling this.

The AGM agreed to maintain the membership fees at existing levels.

There were two candidates standing for Deputy Chairman and David Hodges was elected unanimously.  The current committee was re-elected en masse other than this election.

In AOB Carol proposed a toast to those who we had lost over the past two years, especially Dave Gilson and Derek Stedman, who kindly left WWLSC a legacy.    The revised inclusivity rule was passed.  Stuart also confirmed that Alan Perrins had announced our consecutive "World Wide Wolves UK Supporters' Club of the Year" awards.  The meeting closed in record time.    Our thanks to Hardy's for looking after us.

Neil Dady gave us an excellent review of the purpose and aims of the newly formed Wolves Supporters' Trust - more on this below.

Amongst the apologies received, Colin  P was at the former Wolves managers' reunion at the Orient, with a 1-1 draw for Kenny Jackett's side against Nuno's new team, although KJ could have won, he said

Stuart gave notice that the London Wolves AGM is booked for Saturday 17th July commencing promptly  at 3pm at


   Hardy's 92 Trafalgar Road, Greenwich, London, SE10 9UW  ("Traditional Irish Bar" https://hardysfreehouse.co.uk/ )

London Wolves Supporters Club Virtual AGM July 2020

1. Chairman’s address:

Dear Members,


Many of you will have been eagerly anticipating our AGM at the Horse and Groom, and the opportunity to sample fine beer and equally fine company. The committee has decided, though, that such a meeting would not meet Government advice on gatherings, especially given the age of some of our members so we are, reluctantly not holding an AGM this year.


It is important, though, that we do our best to keep you informed as the AGM would have done, so we have produced this report, and which includes the accounts from Carol as well as reports from each of the usual reporting officers.  We will also publish this in the AGM section of the website.  If you have any matters arising from last year's 2019 minutes which were printed in the April 2020 Newsletter then please raise them with Dave Slape at: Dave.Slape@Londonwolves.com and we will try to address them.  


Each year, as well as examining the reports, we have two particular decisions to take at the AGM - to elect committee members and to determine the annual membership fees. I'm pleased to say the current committee have all agreed to continue to serve until we can hold an in-person election. As you know, next year sees our 55th anniversary as a formal Wolves supporters' club. We would normally have taken the planned event into account in setting the fees, as it normally puts a strain on our finances because of deposits etc being required, but have decided, for now, to hold them steady at last year's rates. (e.g £20 for an individual, £24 joint or £28 for a family in UK).   


We did consider using the widely publicised technologies to hold the meeting, but this would have excluded some members who frequently attend so decided against it.


I hope you are all keeping well and safe, and look forward to being able to meet up again at a match.


Stuart Earl

Minutes of Wolverhampton Wanderers London Supporters Club AGM 2016

Meeting held at the Paternoster, 2-4 Paternoster Square, London, EC4M 7DZ on Saturday 3 September 2016


1. Apologies for absence:  

Apologies for absence were received from P Abbott, D Pearl, L Mastebraker, S Armett, K Riordan, G Blake, A Allsop, J Engleman and J Leonard.

2. Chairmans address:

Stuart thanked the committee for the effort put in during the year and for organising the 50th anniversary dinner/dance.  Stuart said that the club had had a very successful year culminating in the anniversary with events at Molineux and Charlton.  He congratulated Roy Eagles, Dave Slape and Morris Jacobs for their fundraising efforts.

3. Matters arising from 2015 AGM:

Dave Slape asked about the latest position with xpro.  Stuart said that another letter had been received from the solicitors approximately 3 months ago but had been incorrectly addressed.  Nothing further had been heard since.  Approval of the minutes was proposed by Roy Eagles and seconded by Dave Slape.

4. Secretary’s report:

Dave Slape reported that the membership stood at 209 at the end of last season (15/16).  Subs paid up to 31/7/16 were £2,721 and the Golden Gate up to the same date had brought in £636.  The secretary’s expenses were £1,189.82.  Dave Slape said he would like to thank Peter Woodifield, Stuart Earl, Peter Bartlett, Roy Eagles, Steve Ray and Morris Jacobs.

A vote of thanks was given to Dave Slape for all his work over the last year.

5. Treasurer’s Report:

Carol reported that she is still looking for a high interest account but this is proving difficult.6. Travel Secretary’s report:

Peter reported that we ran trips to all 26 home games and 15 away games.  He thanked Morris Jacobs who provided transport to a number of midweek games.  The highest attended trips were:

 Home – Brighton (34) and Ipswich (30)

 Away – Ipswich (26) and Nottingham Forest (17)


There was a slight increase in the average number travelling to home games but a slight decrease for the away games.  


Fare prices varied throughout the year because we have to compete with other travellers in order to get the cheapest fares.  The fare for home games varied between £16-£25.  Train companies demand immediate payment once the tickets are booked.


We have renewed 6 club season tickets for the 2016/17 season on the early bird scheme and members also purchased 12 away season tickets.


Peter thanked the Wolves ticket office, particularly Dave Wood, in meeting our requests for match tickets last season and thanked Dave Slape for his help during the season and Geoff Castro for booking accommodation on some of the evening away games.


7. Social Secretary’s report:


Roy reported that it had been difficult to organise events because of fixtures being changed for Sky.  The Christmas event was cancelled because the match was switched .  An event was held in November at which Mike Bailey attended which proved very successful as was the end of season meal and trip to Monmore.


Stuart will go to view a possible venue for this year’s Christmas event.  Roy is also looking as an event on 22 October to coincide with the 50th Anniversary .  A pre-match meal at WV1 and possibly an evening event is the plan.


8.  Newsletter Editor’s report:


Steve said that the newsletter is currently with the printer and it should be out in the next couple of weeks.  He asked if any of the members had any articles that they could submit, these would be gratefully received.


9.  Website Editor’s report:


 It was reported that we now have 2600 followers on twitter.

10.  50th Anniversary Dinner:

 Feedback for the event had been good to very good.  There were a couple of hitches with the hotel over room bookings but these were resolved.  Initially we had invited 31 guests but we were very unlucky with the responses and a number failed to respond.  The response to the guests who did attend was very positive, particularly Kenny Jackett.  The final attendance figure for the event was 160.


11.  Election of Officers:

After some discussion it was approved by a majority to keep the committee at 11.  Of the committee members 10 were willing to stand for re-election and Leo was standing down.  The 10 existing committee members were duly re-elected.

Following the resignation of Leo there was one vacancy on the committee.  Dave Slape said that he had received requests to stand for the committee from Peter Abbott and Phil O’Connor. Both were proposed and seconded and the proposal was put to the room.  

After a majority vote Peter Abbott was voted on to the committee to replace Leo.

12.  Membership Fees:

Geoff Castro suggested that the membership fee remains the same for the coming season. This was approved by a majority vote.

13. Any other business:

Peter Abbott has been asked to stand as London Wolves representative for the Wolves Fan Parliament. This was agreed by the meeting.

Peter Bartlett raised the issue of sponsorship of Wolves Women and it was agreed that the club would continue their sponsorship for the fee of £500.

The WWLSC official 50th anniversary coincides with the Leeds match on 22 October.  Tim Spiers of the Express and Star has offered to prepare an article about WWWLSC for the paper.  

The committee is to look at amending the rules so that the website editor is included as a full committee member.


The meeting was closed at 15:15.



Plus Notes on the meeting - minutes to come

The Paternoster looked after us very well (having enjoyed the 50th at Charlton).  The minutes will show the apologies.  Stuart thanked various members for their help during the year and at the 50th celebrations.  Dave’s report included 209 members finishing last season + 79 renewing this.  Extra cost was incurred for the new 50th badges (he has some available - £5 a pair) and to replace the Sako trophy lost by Dean Saunders.  There was extensive debate about the size of the contingency bank balance until Geoff proposed that balances be monitored during this year for a report at the next AGM.  Peter arranged travel for all home games and 26 away - with alternative help from Morris for some trips (although they only got as far as Sheffield for the boro Friday night game.  34 travelled with the club for Brighton home and 26 away, plus the many making their own way.  Ticket requests were met for all games apart from the FA Cup at West Ham.

Events were somewhat curtailed with Sky cancelling Christmas although Roy arranged alternatives.  Roy is looking for an alternative venue for Xmas - Nobby will try to help.  He’s also looking to arrange something around the Leeds match, and making a booking for Bully’s 30th.

The website made a small profit.  The printer has been away but the special edition Newsletter with 50th pictures will be out soon.  160 attended the event with great feedback and special thanks to the guests (especially Jacqui Oatley).  Paul Butler and his wife were delighted to have attended.  Stuart also thanked Graham Large, Richard Skirrow, and Dave Instone for their help.  The number of guests was critical for room charges which could have cost £3,500 (and used the float!)

Leo Masters offered to step down from the committee if there were candidates who wished to come on.   Both Phil O’Connor and Peter Abbott volunteered.  Peter was elected on a members’ vote.  The website position was added to the executive committee retaining the two additional committee members via a rule change.  Peter Abbott was also nominated as our representative on the Wolves Parliament. The membership fee was not changed pending the Treasurer's report to the next AGM

A vote of thanks was made to Paul Richards, Wolves fan liaison officer.   The AGM voted to renew our sponsorship of the Wolves Women’s teams.  Tim Spiers of the Express & Star is planning to join a trip to Molineux this month for an article about the 50th.  Thanks to Castronomic tours for finding our venue today during the summer walk.  Stuart is moving to South London - a Peter Knowles clearance away from The Valley.


The 2015 meeting is on Friday 31st July with a prompt 7:30 start in The Shipwrights Arms 88 Tooley Street London SE1 2TF - just round the corner from London Bridge station.   Map here https://goo.gl/maps/I9LhW

40 for Nottingham Forest and 38 for Sheffield Wednesday at home, and 22 Peterborough United and

21 Nottingham Forest away. The average number travelling was down on the previous season, which

have been paid, but there has been no progress on previous seasons. Seven Club Season Tickets

were purchased on the Wolves Early Bird scheme in March costing a total of £3352.00. A profit of

heart surgery.
