At the conclusion of the EGM, Club members voted resoundingly in favour of a proposal for board member Ged Quinn to take ownership of The Club moving forward.

Speaking after the EGM, Ged Quinn commented: “I’ve thoroughly enjoyed assisting Mowden Park and its management team over recent years and the passion of its members has shone through. I’m pleased to be able to help secure The Club’s future and I’m determined to augment its long history as a sports club for the benefit of sport and the community of Darlington.”

Club Chairman Mick Birch commented: “We’re absolutely delighted with the outcome of the EGM. This new structure and direction will strengthen The Club and ensure we emerge from the COVID 19 pandemic able to progress our plans for the future of Darlington Mowden Park and sport in the town.”

A more detailed transcript of last night’s EGM will be circulated to members in due course, and The Club is in the process of scheduling a member’s Q&A session for the coming weeks.
