Dear Supporter
We welcome Stamford to Latimer Park tonight
who find themselves, unusually, at the bottom end of the table. Long way to go yet and we should take nothing
for granted but three points please Poppies!
Over the last couple of programme notes we
have talked about Trust membership and the discounts we are offering. We have also discussed why you might consider
joining the Trust. A lot of the “older”
fans will know the history of the Trust and what we have achieved for the Club
over the years. Newer fans to the Club
may not be so au fait with us, our history and what we are looking to
achieve. Ideally, a voice for the fans
within in the Club which is one of our aims and objectives:
·
To strengthen the
bonds between Kettering Town Football Club and the community and to represent
the interests of the community in the running of the Club
·
To encourage the Club
to take proper account of the interests of its supporters and of the community
it serves in its decisions
·
To encourage and
promote the principle of supporter representation on the Board of the Club and
ultimately to be the vehicle for democratic elections to the Board
·
To raise money and
donate in such a way to promote the aims and objectives of the Trust and to the
benefit of the local community and the supporters of the Club.
·
To benefit present
and future members of the community served by the Club by promoting,
encouraging and furthering the game of football as a recreational facility,
sporting activity and focus for community involvement.
·
To maximise the
potential, future success and stability of Kettering Town Football Club.
We are currently
talking to George about point 3 – he has offered us a possible place on the
Club’s management committee and we are pursuing this with him. Watch this space.
So, who are the Trust Board members we hear
you ask?! You can find a list of names
below but let’s take a look at the individuals:
Richard Atkinson is our vice-chairman. He first started watching the Poppies in
1989, when he joined the thousands heading to Selhurst Park to watch Kettering
Town take on Charlton Athletic in the 4th round of the FA
Cup. Favourite moments over the years
(not all losses for the Poppies!) include Blackburn Rovers in 1992, the 2-1 win
against Diamonds at Nene Park in 1999, and the 2-1 win over Notts County at
Rockingham Road in 2008. Outside of
football, Richard works as a professional musician, often to be found touring
the country as Musical Director of musicals including Hairspray, Shrek and
Priscilla Queen of the Desert.
Who knew we had such a talented person amongst the Trust Board!
