[Pendle Red]

The Supporters Club has undergone slight changes this season, which hopefully have added more appeal & benefits to members; in for example memberships were made available from the Stanley Store either in person or via the Retail Website meaning in essence being able to reach more people on a worldwide scale with the help of Lew.


Membership Cards were made truly unique & personal with their sponsorship by Dave & Mel of Giftprint which enabled them to be personalised with member’s names actually on the cards.


We have where possible had people from ASFC coming along to the meetings and they have been able to give us valuable insights into the workings of the Club as well as people being able to hear first hand ideas and hopefully it has helped encouraged interchange & dialogue from us as supporters as well.


Monthly newsletter to members direct to their inbox once again with the help of Lew.


We would like to continue to grow and encourage people more people to join whilst hopefully being able to bring mutual benefits to both Supporters & Club, with that in mind via this forum which is probably the easiest to access and collate information from for people to perhaps put their ideas of what they would like to see from the Supporters Club.


A few ideas to kick-start it:
Would you like to see more benefits from a membership card scheme maybe discounts?
More interaction with the Club?
Fans Forums?
More Events in the Lounge?
Perhaps an Actual Fan’s Liaison Officer with the Club?
Fundraising for the Club?
Forge closer links with the FITC to encourage families & children to come along to the Club?


I am not saying we can do everything and there will be some things we can’t do but at least if we have a criteria or agenda we have something to aim and aspire to as a group and something that will perhaps encourage people to join and also want to become involved in.


Also what do people feel is a reasonable membership fee for 12 months membership of the Supporters Club?


In the past it has become norm for a Membership Badge to be given with their membership would a break from tradition matter to people e.g. if nothing other than a membership card was given to reduce membership costs or would you prefer something like a key ring instead?

It is your Supporters Club and you should have a say of how you want to see & shape the Supporters Club going forward.


The next Supporters Club meeting is on Monday 10th January starting at 7pm in the Lounge at the Club, Everyone is welcome

Thanks
