Minutes of meeting between Trust In Yellow representatives and Club board held on Saturday, 28^th November, 2009.

Present: Alan Scarisbrick, Bill Sloan, Phil Carder, Martin Robinson, Ben Kelly (Trust in Yellow)

              Charlie Clapham, Sam Shrouder, Haydn Preece (Club)

The agenda followed was the one sent by Trust In Yellow to the board. However, at the request of the club, item 7 was dealt with first. The original questions are in italics.

 7. Strategic planning

Does the club have a plan for its development in the medium to long term and, in particular, if circumstances arose in which it could no longer depend on the financial support of its present major backers. 

For the club Mr Shrouder outlined the Chairman’s role and personal investment in the club over the past years.

There had never been any other offers from people willing to make substantial investments in the club but they would welcome any offers in the future with ‘open arms’. Whilst the club did not have any strategic planning for the future of the club in the event of the Chairman & vice Chairman moving on, however neither had any intention of leaving the club in the near future.

The club would welcome hearing the Trust’s views on strategic plans for the club.

Apologies for my delay in publishing the minutes of the meeting between TIY and the club. They will be sent out in the Members' Newsletter on Sunday/Monday and I will also post them on this site.

On Monday representatives of the Trust are meeting with representatives of Southport Juniors to discuss ways in which the two groups can work together.

Martin Robinson

Trust In Yellow are hoping to run a second coach to Fleetwood on New Years Day. Bookings (and more details) can be made to Alan Scarisbrick on 07980-911693 and paid for on Saturday at the match against Gainsborough or in the Club Shop.

The minutes from both the meeting with the club on 28th November and the Open meeting on 1st December are currently being finalised and will be sent out to members in the emailed newsletter next week. Both the Minutes and the newsletter will also be available on the Trust In Yellow website early next week.

As always, the Trust In Yellow office is open on match-days should you wish to discuss anything with a member of the Trust Committee.

Trust In Yellow are running a coach to Hyde on Monday. It will depart Haig Avenue at 5.30. Please contact Alan Scarisbrick on 07980-911693 to book. You may be able to turn up on the day and get a seat but it would be safer to book.
