4. Shop-Alan to view the prefab within ground with respect to starting work on refurbishment. Later Trust to make plans to clean, decorate and acquire sponsorship.

5. AOB- Paul Glendenning has draft of Polish translation inviting migrant workers to Haig Avenue on match days-it was thought a concession for Polish fans could be made as some sort of voucher scheme for example would engender enthusiasm within their community. Liaison with Haydn Preece regarding such a scheme however is essential. It was mooted that local people should be given a similar opportunity to support their local club.
The question of cost of signs was raised and Jon informed the meeting cost is £100-150.
Paul Glendenning suggested a tabard or badge could be worn on match days by committee members to identify them. Jon suggested that sponsorship should be sought for such a scheme.
