As per the EGM, Phil made enquiries about the minimum shareholding in Pinewise Ltd t/a Southport Fottball Club. The legal minimum is £1, but practically the club would take anything over £50. It was agreed that the club would purchase £100 of shares.

All Prospective committee members in attendance

Dixon, Raven, Marsden solicitors are happy to provide a 10% discount for all trust members on production of their trust membership card. Although they are based in Leyland, they do home visits and because of their location their charges are more competitive than in the Southport area. Dixon, Raven, Marsden have advised they are keen to take out corporate membership.
