I have sent out a letter to every printers in the area this week trying to cadge some printing materials or the offer of free or cost services. The problem with the OSC is not the willing or spirit or ideas, it is the man hours trying to do it. I already spend at least two hours of my

sorry boss came in and I had to exit sharpish.... two hours of my WORKING time sending and responding to PMs and emails, then composing and typing letters, writing out addresses on envelopes, speaking to people on the phone such as the police and LCC regarding the end of season event.
Things are still cackhanded firstly because there is a lot to put right, there is a lot to change and there is alot to do. This whilst still trying to get used to the job anyway. Would you believe me if I said that between four of us on the top table at the last meeting we had only one pen? Minutes for the last meeting will be a bit vague this month, but we learn from our mistakes. I am a young man trying to do a job that have ideas for but I am lacking in organisation and discipline - thats something that have never had or will have because thats just me. At some point, this season, everything should come together and we can stop running around like headless chickens and start trying to organise one thing at once rather than 15 things. Its the same with the football club, not enough people to do everything that needs doing so you are always playing catch up.
I want to create a database of local businesses in Accrington, names, addresses, contact name and number. I want each business to specifywhat they are willing to do to help Accrington Stanley and its supporters club. It may just be that they are willing to display a matchday poster or may be that they are willing to sponsor our newsletter or christmas cards to members (wont be this year I 'm afraid), they may be willing to donate three items a year for raffles or one big prize for a major competition. But none of this can be done until such time as we have got the basics out of the way such as catching up on the membership debacle. If that doesn't get done this year, then it means that next season starts off at a handicap because we wont be as efficient as we could be and things will still be done the long handed way - asking people twice, missing people out, asking 300 of the wrong people etc.
