Thanks for the Bal/Jo distinction. If Jo is the money man, and Bal is his representative, is there anyone working on money-making projects at the ground/elsewhere, or organising raffles, etc? If so is he or she contactable?

As I'm sure you have realised, what goes on at the Walks stays at the Walks.That's unless a Club official thinks he should share certain things with his mates. i.e. "Don't tell anyone else this but........".

I think it's fair to say that some have noticed a few subtle changes since Bal appeared on the scene and made it his job to go among the supporters and press some flesh. He was certainly showing an interest in a number of things, and gauging supporters opinions on a range of issues, which has got to be a plus.

As far as a raffle is concerned, I don't believe they have anyone that can do it and apparently the last attempt was not very successful. If they have run one in the last couple of years, I've not seen anything about it.

On that note, the Trusts Christmas raffle was deemed to be a success. Maybe the Club should engage with the Supporters that run it and pick up a few ideas.

Re-arranged for Tuesday 18 February 2025.

With reference to the raffle, I am sure there are loads of fundraising activities which could be put forward by the Trust and other supporters if there was enough interest among the supporter base in helping to organise them.

Dilly was only seeing if anyone is operating such a thing as a raffle, or any other money-raising initiative. It's not a raffle that the question is about. I'm "asking for a friend" who might have an interesting proposition, but he needs to know if there is anyone to contact....

Sorry, when you asked if anyone was organising raffles, I thought you meant "is anyone organising raffles"?

Who to contact?

All the people involved with running the club are named on the Clubs website.

Good one, B & G... Fair dos! A bit like Bob Newhart's sketch "The Driving Instructor"....... "No, I'm sorry, it's my fault. You put your left arm out, and your left indicator on, and I, well er, I more or less assumed you were going left"!....
