Welcome to what we hope
will be the continuation of a great start to the season for both the 1st team,
and for the Trust. Two wins and a draw is a fine start to the season, and
another 3 points today against a tough Peterborough Sports side would be fantastic.
The Trust have also
made a great start - with no less than 3 projects receiving funding.
The toilet renovations
are well under way, meaning our £2,500 donation is finally making a difference
for Supporters. The Male toilet facilities at the Morrisons end are now almost
complete - as can be seen in the "Before" and "Current State of
Play" photos. There are a few bits still to sort, and then we will be
getting to work renovating the female facilities. We hope to have the work
completed as soon as possible, and we will keep you updated. A big thank you to
Workforce Bathrooms and Tiling for undertaking the renovations, and to our
grounds volunteers Mike Thurland and Rick Shatford for helping with the
painting work.
The Trust have also
donated money to pay for the new PA system at Latimer Park. Any supporters who
have stood behind the goals for matches will know the limitations of the old
system. The new system now provides better coverage around the ground - and can
also be zoned to make specific safety announcements to different areas of the
ground. A PA system is mandatory in football stadia for safety purposes, and
the Trust are delighted to have made sure that Latimer Park is properly
equipped.
Thirdly, the Trust have
paid for replacement pads for the defibrillator inside the ground - and are
further looking to provide funding for a new defibrillator to be placed outside
the clubhouse - which will be accessible to both the club, and the wider community.
Further details once the project is funded and complete.
Trust Membership for
new members and those wishing to renew their membership is going well so far -
but more members would be more than welcome. Fees remain at £10 for an adult
yearly membership, £100 for a life membership, and Junior members (under 18s)
remain free. Membership forms are available from the Trust table in the
clubhouse on match days, or online via our website. Simply scan the QR code on
this page, which will take you to the membership page on our website.
We are looking to put
all monies raised from this season’s memberships towards a stair lift for the
club house. This will give more people access to the hospitality area upstairs
- which is not only used on match days, but also for events all year round.
Trust members will be
entered into a draw at the end of the season to win one of the 2 shirts we are
sponsoring this year - Paul White’s home shirt, and Shaun Jeffers’ away shirt.
Thanks as always for
your continued support
