We have launched a new survey ahead of next week's AGM to get your current thoughts on both the club & the Supporters' Trust.
The survey can be taken
here.
We look forward to your feedback on what you think the key focus areas should be for the Trust and how you feel Charlton will fare in the Championship this season.
We hope to see you at the CAS Trust AGM at the Bugle Horn in Charlton village at 7.30pm on Thursday 29th October. Please note, the AGM is for Trust members only so please ensure your membership is up to date before the meeting.

Thanks, too, to all who have completed so far.
Keep them coming - many thanks!
Not knocking the Trust per se, far from it, but I've lost count of how many surveys that is now (maybe someone can tell me and maybe it isn't as many as my perception) and I have no idea what any of them have actually achieved. Or, come to think of it, what they were designed to achieve - for example, the original post simply says something about "getting current thoughts". But why? What for? What is the data going to be used for, realistically?
Happy to be educated.
There's no real solutions or action they can take. I really don't think it's got the muscle.
This can and has been presented to the club, but also helps to inform Trust policy etc.
Surveys allowed a number of things for the Trust: determined whether fans wanted it in the first place, helped it understand what priorities were for fans, helped the Trust grow rapidly but also sustainably, allowed fans to steer strategy and policy. There's probably a lot more detail than that and perhaps @seriouslyred can add more.
This approach formed part of an overall strategy that built on, and expanded hugely what other Trusts had achieved as well as some innovative ideas and approaches and has been well regarded by others in the movement.
The idea is that opinion presented this way is less easy to dismiss as just a few moaners on a message board, etc. or a clique in the back room of a pub.
How many you do, and what length they are is up for debate of course, and there are issues of survey fatigue and timing, questions, and other matters to carefully consider.
As someone who certainly isn't anti-Trust and has been generally supportive of it thus far, if I'm getting a bit of "survey fatigue" (I like that expression!) then I would guess that maybe others are too.
Just my view. Take it on board or don't - it probably wouldn't make a difference either way.
I remember one previous question being how would you like RD to die - painfully or very painfully......or something not very like that.
