STFC Membership Drive

[Fred Elliot]

After Trust members voted overwhelmingly to drop the cost of annual membership to
£1, in a bid to boost membership, we will be starting a recruitment drive on the
back of this before the game on Saturday. We will also be handing out leaflets
explaining a little more about the Swindon Town Fans' Consortium - aims and
objectives, how fans can help etc. and collecting donations for the costs of the
campaign (which the Trust are bearing).

We need your help if we are to make a success of this - we need as many people as
possible to help sign new members up, hand out leaflets, explain what the
consortium is about, collect money etc.

I know we're always asking for help and it's a major pain in the whatnots before
a game when everyone would rather be having a relaxing pre-match pint but if we
are to make a success of the concept of a fans' consortium and build the Trust
into a voice that cannot be ignored we are going to need more than the usual
half-dozen numpties out there (with all due respect to the aforementioned
half-dozen numpties - I'm one of them, if that helps). Seriously we need as many
people as possible for this - if nothing else we have to show both the powers
that be and any potential future investors that we, the fans, are serious about
putting in the legwork to make our club a success. Loads of you have already
stepped up to the plate and offered help etc and major thanks are due to you all,
so please don't take this appeal the wrong way, but if you can spare the time
before the game it would be much appreciated.

Meet at the Trust office (next to away travel office, opposite CGH) at 1.30, and
if you can bring a bucket and a clipboard.

Thanking you all in anticipation

Fred, any chance of you posting up the info from the leaflets as I can't make the game tomorrow.

[Fred Elliot]

Yes

Give me about an hour Sam

The stuff from the leaflets is on the Fans' Consortium section of the Trust website and we will be adding extra info to it soon-ish (hopefully later on today, people's jobs permitting).

A nice "wipe clean" laminated card  

It is a pound Dave

People keep asking about pens - we're going to have to get some made up I reckon. They could be this Xmas' "must-have" gift, like Cabbage Patch Dolls were.

Will you do-gooders be in the winners?  I want to join the trust but I'm not prepared to leave the pub to do it

[pauld]

That's the kind of commitment we need! We'll send in a special "Piemonte Snatch Squad"

Piemonte Snatch Squad

I like the sound of that

I'll be signing up so can probably help out as well.

A membership drive??  Cool is it like the Magical Mystery Tour??  You can't be going very far if it only costs a quid.
