BARWELL PROGRAME NOTES 8th FEBRUARY 2025

 Dear Supporter

We recently launched of our latest fundraising project - FA CUP GOALS SPONSORS DRAW.

Having experienced our first cup run in several years, the time seemed right to bring our FA Cup goals board of sponsors up-to-date, and return it to display at Latimer Park.

The full goals history can also be found on our website at: https://ktfctrust30.blogspot.com/p/fa-cup-goals-history.html?m=1

Since we first had the boards made and people sponsored the goals we have scored another 32 goals in the competition, for which we are now looking for sponsors. We are therefore running a draw for sponsorship of these 32 goals - tickets for which can be purchased for £2 each - either from Martin Bellamy at the programme table in the clubhouse on match days, or online via our website here: https://ktfctrust30.blogspot.com/2025/01/cup-goals-sponsors-draw.html?m=1.

We have selected 4 goals as Premium goals, which will be sponsored by the first 4 numbers drawn. These goals are as follows:

900 – Callum Powell

921 – Luca Miller

922 – Nile Ranger

923 – Isiah Noel-Williams

The 1st number drawn out will choose which goal they wish to sponsor from the top 4 goals; 2nd to select from the remaining top 4; 3rd then fourth. From the 5th number drawn out onwards goals will be sponsored in chronological order. The draw will be made on 22nd March 2024.

The Trust are pleased to have made a donation towards the forthcoming renovations at Latimer Park. We have donated £2500 towards the cost of improving the toilet facilities in the clubhouse. We're hopeful that our current fundraising will allow us to make further donations.

This calendar membership year we have 100 members (37 of which are life members) and we thank you all for joining. Of course, events run and money donated are not just for Trust

members but for all Poppies fans. Supporters’ organisations come and go so we are proud that the Trust has been round for 32 years – coming into its 33rd year to be precise! Long may it continue but it does need volunteers to keep it ticking over. If you feel that you can bring something to the Trust Board then please contact us – we would love to hear from you.

We are also looking for an archivist or two or three (!) to help sort our memorabilia collection which is currently housed in the Newland Centre. If anyone is interested, please contact us.

So we had a smash and grab win last Saturday away to Sudbury! We needed the win to stem the flow of recent losses and nothing better than an injury time winner to pick up those three points. Today, Barwell are our visitors. They beat us in the reverse fixture so we owe them one today!
