I'm sure John Commberford won't mind me posting this on here as I'm sure Bromley Addicks will get a similar invite soon.
"Dear Member,
All Members of East Kent Addicks have been invited to meet Katrien Meire and other Senior Club Personnel in the North Stand at the Valley from 1.00pm on Saturday 27th August, 2016 prior to the Bolton game. The intention is for those in attendance to address their questions to the Club in a respectful way to enable a free and valuable exchange of views. Refreshments will be provided.
It is appreciated that a number of our Members travel to Charlton via the Valley Express Service and the Club have agreed to provide an additional coach departing from Ashford at 11.30am and Faversham at 11.50am. Priority to travel on this extra coach will be given to Valley Express Season Ticket Holders and those who regularly utilise the Valley Express Service with the normal match-day price of £11 applying. It should be stressed that there are no restrictions in attending this event for those who travel independently to the Valley.
Whilst this invitation has been extended by C.A.F.C. to all East Kent Addicks Members, those wishing to attend must reserve their place in advance by contacting East Kent Addicks either by email at ekaddicks@talktalk.net or by telephoning #############. Please note that admission will be restricted solely to those who meet this criteria and that there can be no exceptions.
Those wishing to travel via the additional Valley Express Service should also contact East Kent Addicks, who will liaise with the Club to make the necessary arrangements.
Kindest regards,
East Kent Addicks."

I know it feels good to be in amongst those at a high level in our Club, but we shouldn't be holding hands with our enemies. She will thrive on it, say the right things, get a few smiles and gullible souls thanking her.
Unless she says, "Roland has agreed to sell up", absolutely nothing she says is of any interest.
CAST declined the offer to talk a few months back, should it now follow that regional groups do likewise?
How about set up and demand a Q&A event with Roland himself.
Don't let her parade it as meeting the fans when all she will want to do is discuss the family fun day and whether or not coaches have been on time so far.
Has there ever actually been a chance for fans to meet Roland?
In addition, it does give supporters a chance to speak their views to KM and SMT. I believe it is fair to give supporters that chance.
Yes their views may get shouted down or declined but it will at least be heard.
What comes out of it we shall see however it's worthwhile imo purely for supporters to get the chance to put their points across.
Or the fans forum?
Or the VIP Q&A?
Dialogue should never cease, it should always be the vehicle used to drive change
It also allows the person from CAFC who attends the opportunity to be held to account if statements or commitment to work together are given to improve our current plight
This allows them to break that promise or commitment
We all know that people have lied that people continue to lie
Keep allowing them to do so, let them keep lying
(Fuckwits)
Don't say I didn't warn you.
Personally, I think they should politely refuse the invitation, tell the Club they have had two years to listen to the fans and haven't, so all we want is for Roland to sell up and go. Or, if people do go, tell them that at the start then walk out en masse. Support the team NOT the regime.
