Around 40 people attended the Supporters Association and Supporters Trust AGM's last night. Both AGM's proceeded as normal. The Supporters Association committee remains unchanged and consists of Mike Hogan (Chairman), Tony Wood (Vice-Chairman), Sandra Wood (Secretary), Geraldine Clarke (Treasurer), Les Vincent, Bernard Lawrence and Chris Rogers.

The society board of the Supporters Trust remains largely unchanged and consists of Simon Lawrence (Chairman), Alan Ainsworth (Secretary), Mike Harte (Treasurer), Chris Rogers, Steve Rogers, Phil Rogers, Jacqui Cox, Paul McGreal, Bryan Roberts, John Rice and John Rock with Tony Rice and Eddie Edwards as co-opted members. The trust membership were reminded of the importance of helping the trust board with the various fundraising activities and that if or when the time comes that the trust take over, we will only be able to spend what our support can raise.

Gary McCann also joined the meeting and spoke of his plans for the season ahead. It has already been documented on the website that Davis Haule, Richard Wilmot, Belal Aiteouakrim, Sam Page and Jack Page have moved on to pastures new. Iavor Guentchev is currently on trial at a professional club in Bulgaria, but if things don't work out for him, Gary expects him to play a much bigger part for us in the new campaign. The rest of last seasons squad, with the exception of James Parker who as previously mentioned is away in the USA until September, are in training with us and are on board for next season. Gary confirmed that he has 4 or 5 new players already committed to joining the club although names will not be announced until all the paperwork has been completed. He is looking to run in the new season with a squad of around 20 players, which will give the team a bit more strength in depth than we had last season as we look to build on the excellent performances of the past 18 months.
