Title: Do as I say not as I do! (stfc trust stuff) Post by: yeo on Saturday, December 24, 2005, 22:12:54 Quote Dear Jamie, First off a very happy Christmas to you and yours. Right, that's the pleasantries out of the way, now onto business. Before I commence the the usual begging for help, could I ask that you consider renewing your membership of the Trust which appears to have expire? As I hope you can see from what follows, we're doing a lot of good work at the moment, but we can do much more with a broader (and more active) membership. Go on, you know it makes sense! OK, on with the begging for volunteers! ;-) Leaflet Xmas shoppers for Blackpool game ======================================== Actually first order of business is to thank all those who turned out to help leaflet Xmas shoppers on the Thursday evening before the Blackpool game. We split into four "teams", handing out both the club's promotional leaflet re reduced prices for the game and the Keep Town in Swindon leaflet, receiving a (generally) positive response on both. In the event, the gate for the Blackpool game was at least 1000 up on what would have been expected for the time of year, and given the poor showings of both sides. And it's fair to say the bulk of that increase was down to successful promotion of the reduced ticket prices - not all of that due to the Trust volunteers, obviously, but we certainly played our part. Once again, shows the positive results that can be achieved when the club listen to and work with the fans. Boxing Day - Keep Town in Swindon lobbying ========================================== As you will no doubt be aware, we had two trestle tables out at the Blackpool game where people could fill out a postcard(s) to send to their local councillor in support of the Keep Town in Swindon campaign. We also had some people making (slow) progress around the Winners with the cards and lists of councillors, pens etc. We managed to get over 470 filled in which was a tremendous effort, but obviously very much only a start. We're aiming to build on this at the Boxing Day game - meet Trust office 1pm. Boxing Day - Red Army Fund collection ===================================== We have one of our very limited "slots" to collect for the Red Army Fund on Boxing Day - the last such collection before the transfer window opens. I heard on the radio this evening that Beckham's looking for a return to England so with one big push .... Seriously, the total amount raised for the Fund now stands at over £14,500 which is fantastic. Although a good chunk of that has been spent, it's fair to say there's still a decent amount available for Iffy to spend in January if he needs it. But it has to be worth a big push on Boxing Day to bring in those extra quids that could make all the difference when casting about to bring someone in in January. If you can help with either the postcards or the RAF collection, meet at the Trust office at 1pm before the game. Please try and make the effort - several of our regulars are away for Christmas and so won't be able to make it (including yours truly, so there's no danger of running into me which should be an incentive in itself!) so we could be low on numbers. A good time to step into the breach if you haven't tried this out before! All the best for a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
