It is with great sadness that RamsTrust has learned that Tim Brooke-Taylor has died.
He was, as Rams fans everywhere will know, a solid supporter of Derby County and was a lifetime member of RamsTrust.
We are sure that all members would share in sending our best wishes and deepest condolences to his loved ones at this sorrowful time.
He was one of us and we will remember him with warmth and love.
RIP Tim.
RamsTrust understands from media reports that Derby County is to furlough the majority of its non-playing staff during the Covid-19 crisis to make use of the government’s 80% grant scheme.
DCFC appear to have made the decision not to make up the shortfall in pay of those members of staff furloughed, most often 20%, but also including those where the 80% is greater than the cap of £2,500. If this is the case, then RamsTrust wishes to register its disappointment at such a decision and notes also the reports suggesting that Nottingham Forest do intend to maintain the pay of their furloughed employees.
If these reports are true, we would ask the club to reconsider its position and instead act to make up any shortfall in the pay of the furloughed staff.
The annual general meeting for members of RamsTrust is tonight at 8pm.
VENUE: Unite the Union, 2 Pride Point Drive, Pride Park, Derby. DE24 8BX

This year we have three vacancies on the RamsTrust Board for 3 years. We are now inviting nominations to all full members wishing to stand for election.
Please give this opportunity some consideration, as this is your chance to play a leading role in the trust.
RamsTrust is committed to furthering the interests of Derby County fans and the general community of football supporters, so please come forward to formally volunteer some spare time and energy in active participation. RamsTrust is an independent, open and democratic supporters group that endeavours to make a positive contribution to the future of Derby County Football Club.
The AGM also gives the opportunity for all members to submit any items or resolutions for inclusion in the AGM’s agenda. Please note that another member must second any such proposals.

All nominations will be verified on receipt. In the event of any dispute over the validity of the form, the candidate will be contacted.
An election will be held unless there are three or fewer nominations for the three available positions and all candidates are willing to accept terms of office. The election results will be given at the AGM.
In case of any complaints regarding the election procedure, we have adopted Supporters Direct best practice guidelines and have formed an Election Management Group, chaired by John Boyle of the Stafford Rangers Supporters Trust, STRIPES.
The agenda for the AGM will be placed on the website at least 7 days before the meeting.
