Members of the Trust in Yellow board have arranged to meet with representatives from the football club, including the club chairman, Charlie Clapham, prior to the match against Halifax Town on Saturday March 5. We will be endeavouring to agree a regular timetable for such meetings and shall notify members of this.

The Trust board is keen to communicate the wishes of Trust members and ask the questions which they wish answered by the hierarchy of the club.

Therefore, we are asking if any members wish to submit questions for consideration for the agenda, please email them to us at fans@trustinyellow.com or alternatively send us a message through facebook or twitter, on or before Wednesday March 2.

We cannot promise to answer any specific questions, and indeed it is plausible that we may receive too many to fit into the time available. We will, however, endeavour to address all pertinent issues raised by members in the next few meetings with the club. Many thanks in advance for your consideration and contributions.

Ahead of the recent home match against Braintree Town, a presentation took place for the winner of the competition to design a ten-year badge for Trust in Yellow.

To celebrate the Trust’s tenth anniversary in 2016 and a milestone year for the Trust, local school children were invited to design a special badge to be used during the year ahead.

The Trust was delighted to receive a total of 144 entries, which were narrowed down to a shortlist of 23 before supporters were asked to select the winner from four finalists.

The new badge is designed by Harriet James-Hodges, from Ainsdale St Johns Primary School, whose entry came out on top in a poll run during January.

Harriet was presented with a copy of her winning design and prizes at the recent home match against Braintree by Alan Spence, Southport’s all-time record goalscorer, and Trust chairman Martin Robinson.

Harriet’s design will be used as the Trust’s badge throughout the year and will be the focal point for the Trust’s ten-year celebrations.

The Trust would like to thank all the schools and children who took part. Not only did the number of entries received surpass expectations, but the quality of the designs was of the highest standard and choosing a shortlist and four finalists was a very difficult task.

It was clear from the entries that so many children had put a lot of time and thought into their designs, and the Trust was thrilled to see such enthusiasm for the competition.

We're now taking bookings for the coach to Southport's match at Altrincham on Bank Holiday Monday, March 28.

The fare is £9 Trust members, £12 non-members, which is cheaper than the fare to this fixture in any previous season.

To book, call Colin Aindow on 07861416859.

Unfotunately, with only 12 bookings received, we are unable to run a coach to Saturday's match at Lincoln City.

Details of coach travel to the upcoming away games in March will be released shortly.
