The financial year of the Hendon Football Club Supporters Trust ended on 31st January 2010 which means that annual subscriptions are now due. Over the next few days, all current members should receive a Membership Renewal Form either by email or in the post.

The trust would be very grateful if you could complete and return the form, together with your annual subscription, by 31st March 2010. If you don't receive a form in the next few days, please email Simon Lawrence on simon.hendon@btinternet.com or speak to him on a matchday. Membership forms can also be downloaded from the Supporters Trust website, which is linked from the menu on the left.

The Trust has been running the club for a season and a half now and it's clear to us that there is a huge amount of work ahead of us in order to keep ourselves afloat and secure the club's long-term future. Recent postponements and lower crowds do not help.

Once again, therefore, we are asking you to support the Trust and the club. At the risk of boring you to death, it's as much your club as it is mine or anyone else's and without your support you might just wake up one day to find that you don't have a club to support.

Membership numbers have dropped a little since the Trust started so please renew your membership, join up your friends and family and, if you can, make a one-off or monthly donation. An extra fiver a month will pay one of the many bills that the Trust now has to pay over the course of a season. Again, forms for setting up donations can be found on the supporters trust website.

A number of people have volunteered to help at home matches and this is much appreciated. You don't need to miss much or even any of the game and the more people who volunteer, the less each individual has to do. Please speak to Simon Lawrence or John Rogers if you are willing to help.

Thanks for supporting the Trust and Hendon Football Club. The Trust Board look forward to your continuing support over the next year and beyond.
