SUNDAY 4th OCTOBER 2 pm in Clubhouse meeting re fundraising

[baswaldsmate]

A group of us have called a meeting for anyone who wishes to help raise the profile of our games and increase our fundraising so that we can help the club play at the highest sustainable level. This meeting is open to everybody and hopefully we can put together a group of people who could lead this initiative.

First, we need to raise the profile of our game against Grimsby on October 10th, This is non-league day. Grimsby have been bringing large numbers of away supporters to their games this season. Grimsby have set themselves a target of outnumbering the Braintree fans at this game. We will have available at this meeting leaflets to be distributed around town by volunteers during the week before the game. We will also be advertising the game on Leisure FM.

Already some fans have got together and have arranged to put on a Race Night at the club on October 10th, with the aim of kickstarting our fundraising.

At the meeting we will explain our ideas and would welcome any other suggestions. The figure of £10,000 by Christmas, we think is achievable. This would give the club a great lift.

This initiative has come from the fans and hopefully with my help and that of others, we can get a positive team who can guide us all to our goal. Everybody is welcome.

If everyone pulls together, we can do it and make Braintree proud.

At today's meeting at the Football Club, a new group was formed with the aim of raising the profile of our team within the local community and raising funds to help the team and supporters in the future. A number of fundraising initiatives are planned by the committee members, who elected Dave Green as Chairman. They wish to be known as Braintree Town Friends and Supporters Association and will work with any supporters, be they groups or individuals, to benefit the Club. Further details of the fundraising efforts will be announced over the next few weeks as they formulate their ideas.
