The Blue & Gold Christmas Draw was held in the Lord Napier on the 26th of December 2025 . 
Many thanks to the management and staff at The Lord Napier for hosting the draw. The winners are listed below.  As Chairman, I would once again wish to thank all who participated in yet another successful draw. 
Grateful thanks go to The Solar Shed  for sponsoring the draw and to Prontaprint for printing the tickets.
Thank you to all those generous people who donated prizes and most importantly, many thanks to all those who bought and sold tickets. 

This year we have sold 1431 tickets and realised a profit of £1095:21 for Trust    funds.
      
Finally, I hope that 2026 brings much needed sustainability to King's Lynn Town Football Club and best wishes to all of their supporters.

Happy New Year

    The Trust is working hard to engender a positive working relationship with the new owners of King's Lynn Town Football Club and distances itself from the negative comments posted on the fans' forum by a very few individuals who do their best to discredit the football club and individuals working hard behind the scenes.  When things go awry, it needs all genuine fans of the club to come together to get things back on track.  The Trust will not discuss its business on any open forum and will keep its members updated on all developments as and when appropriate.  This will be done on an individual basis, and again if and when appropriate will be published on the website.

    It is hoped that a members information bulletin will be forwarded to all members in the very near future to inform them of developments that are taking place.

The Blue and Gold Supporters' Trust is a Community Benefits Society whose purpose is to act as a vehicle through which a balanced and constructive relationship between the football club and its supporters is developed.  The business of the Trust is to be conducted for the benefit of the community served by the Club, and not for the profit of Trust members.
Membership of The Trust is open to all supporters of King's Lynn Town FC.  The rules of The Trust are written in line with the Model Rules approved by the Football Supporters' Association.  Trust accounts are scrutinised annually by the Financial Conduct Authority.
A recent poll of members agreed to purchase a shareholding in KLTFC, which sees The Trust achieve one of its main aims; to have formal representation in the running of the football club.  This, in effect, sees Trust members become part owners of KLTFC.
Under the new ownership of Turn Sports Investments (TSI), the club has made a positive impact within the local community and The Trust aims to develop a strong working partnership with TSI.
We would encourage as many supporters as possible to join The Trust and help develop the formal working relationship in the Club and strengthen the influence of you, the fans.

Trust Members Vote re: Shareholding
Firstly, can we take this opportunity to thank all members who took the time to consider the proposal put to them.  We know that this was going to be a big decision and would dictate the future direction of the Trust.

We can now report that 93 (73%) of the Trust membership submitted their vote.

The results of votes cast are:
77 (82%) voted to support the proposal
16 (17%) voted to reject the proposal.

This means that the Trust Board now has the mandate of the membership to complete the purchase of shares in the Club.  We will shortly be holding a board meeting to discuss the progression of the process and we will of course report back to the members when this is completed.

The reset at KLTFC is well underway with a real buzz around the ground and indeed the Town.  A marked increase in pitch-side advertising and the recently announced partnership with Alive Leisure are real positive outcomes and show TSI's commitment to engaging with the local community.  In addition, an announcement of a new major sponsor at the Club is imminent.

It's a great time to be involved with KLTFC.  If you, or any business owner you know is interested in advertising or sponsorship at the Club, just contact new@kltown.co.uk

The last few months has seen an increase in membership by 50, with 41 being new members and 9 members re-joining. 
Total membership as it stands is 127.
The greater the membership, the greater the supporter influence should the Trust join forces with Turn Sports Investments in securing the future of the football club. 
Perhaps this is the time for all fans to come together.
