Membership – 256 members are currently enrolled although and we have had 364 members since the trust formed.

In addition we have two new corporate members in Brighouse Solicitors and Bargain Booze and one potential new corporate sponsor.
Heart Monitors – Huw has now received 20 heart monitors rather than the 10 initially advised and they are now in use. Huw is delighted and has offered his thanks for the purchase and is happy to provide the trust with any publicity they wish.

At Trust in Yellows' meeting with the club (Saturday 14th July 2007) Southport Football Club finally confirmed that there would be no reserve team despite Trust in Yellow successfully achieving its' target of raising £7,000 to purchase a mini bus which would make reserve team football viable.

One of Trust in Yellows' major objectives from the outset has been to represent supporters to the club's board of directors. Members, supporters, committee members and the board of directors have all acknowledged the need to formally underpin the working relationship of the two bodies. Having campaigned supporters via the local media and on the trustinyellow.com website - TIY produced an agenda and a series of questions to put to the board, the answers are presented below.

The meeting was held on July 14th 2007 in the Vice Presidents Bar - Grandstand Club, Haig Avenue.
