A full audited account statement is also availble.

Membership
It was noted that Memberships were down from 2006 - 2007 to 2007 - 2008. This season 2008 - 2009 memberships are already on the increase once again.

Review of last Years Events:
Six events were held last year and Bob Reid reviewed them all and asked for opinion.
Q & A Evening
We had hope for a larger attendance for our annual Q & A session and due to this we had postponed this years until we could inform our members of our schedule.
(No comment from the floor)
Ceilidh
Our first Ceilidh was held at the Airdrie Town Hall and was a great success, 150 tickets were sold. It was noted that maybe only 30 of the 150 were Airdrie fans which suprised us but did not detract from the fact it was a great night.

1995 Cup Reunion Night
Was a great success for us and we hope to have more of these themed nights, we are in discussions at the moment for another such event but no more details are available until things are confirmed.

POTY Night
Attendance was very disappionting and profits on the evening were well down.
Comments from the floor
It was suggested that fans didn't attend because it was held far to early, we still did not know our position in the league and attendances were down at games which was shown again by the attendance at the POTY night.
Airdrie Schools Cup
Again a Success for the Trust and thanks were given to the club and stadium for their support.
(No Comment From the Floor)
Kids Christmas Party
Again a success and turned a small profit thanks to donations from various sources.


Upcoming Events
Casino Evening and Cielidh already announced.
Other events suggested :- Bottle Bingo Evening or Prize Bingo Night, Race Night after the event closed a concert was suggested.
