Minutes from Supporters Trust meeting 18/09/08 con't

Fund Raising Ideas
Andy Waite was thanked for his time and effort by setting up and running a stall at the Car Boot sale, his donation went a long way to heping us last season. Thank you as well to any one who donated items.
Three of our committee also walked the West Highland way raising money for us and youth development. We are planning a alk from Airdrie to Dundee during the easter holidays of 2009 if anyone is interested let us know.
Online club shop (Click Here) is open 24hrs a day and has made us a profit simply because it costs us nothing to set up and fans only buy what they are already looking for. Next special offers coming soon.

Saturday's game
The football club are presenting the Airdrie Youth football teams to the fans on Sat, we run 9's through to U'21s Pro Youth and we have been asked if we want to be a part of the presentation. It was decided that some of us should walk on to the park with a large cheque highlighting our input so far.

Open discussion and way forward
POTY Nght:- We have been asked to make sure that who ever is supplying the bar for the 2008 - 2009 award ceremony, supplies real glasses and draft beer.
Could it be confirmed that the trust will be trying to move the POTY night back to the first bank holiday in May, as the season does not finish until the 9th of May.
Stadium in general:- Could we ask if a variety of food be served on the concourse, other clubs have managed to get hotdogs, home made soup and other items.
Are the club ever going to consider opening the bar for children and serve food?
Disabled viewing:- Would the club/ stadium owners consider developing the home stand so disabled fans were raised from the ground or protected from the elements. It was pointed out we had looked in to this once before but due to the stadium situation it had not gone any further, we will revisit it with the club.
Atmosphere:- Would the club consider moving the away fans in to one of the stands behind the goals, it is thought it would bring more atmosphere to the games.

The meeting was brought to an end at 9:00pm
