Mitch, you may like to check about the "strip" situation, despite what was agreed at the supporters AGM, it now appears that our Youth Commitee has stated that the strip sponsored by the supporters club will be an AWAY strip for the 13's and 14's, to save them asking A H every time for the Insch away strip when they need to change.

We are supposed to be getting Hamish's teams strip from last season, although I don't think that it is all collected in yet. I hope we have it all back in time for the season starting, and presumably we will be getting new socks for the whole squad, as the other ones would be 3 years old now.

See you on the 1st August, for pre-season training starting.

We agreed to sponsor the 15s and i thibk we should stick to that. My view on it remains that that is the bet team to sponsor as their players are almost always seen on our supporters club busses. I dont think ive even seen a 13s or 14s player on there.

Just to clear up a few points. Sometime ago we approached the youth set up about the idea of sponsoring a team,I was told at that point about the under 13s/14s idea. The idea was put on the back burner until the supporters club agm. I do not know where the under 15s idea came from. After talking to the youth set up again to clarify i was told the 15s have a sponsor. We are very proud to do this and its not up to the supporters club to decide who gets our top.

What's the point of providing an away strip that will be worn once or twice at the most per season???????????????

A new strip which will be worn week in week out for the 15s instead of them being given a 3 year old strip makes more sense to me.

Im I correct in thinking the 15s are a new team for this season? When i spoke to sandy about a top he suggested the 13/14s are they were in need of a new kit. The 15s were not talked about.

Jim, The 15's aren't really a new team (they are last season's 14's), with 5 new players added to the 10 remaining players from last seasons successful 14's side. It IS however a new team at the Under 15 age group. Mitch, Myself and Fraser are still the Coaches for this team.

Hope that clears everything up!

Must agree with Shona for all the times you need away strips.Who is now sponsoring the 15s must be fas name on 16S OLD STRIP,is it not ASDA ? Nothing wrong with our 14s strip from last season brand new , but we were told to hand down to upcoming 14s,remember they are large strips,will bury little guys

What does the Minutes of the Supporters Club AGM say ??

If we voted to sponsor the U15 strips then that is where they should go.

Surely the Sponsor decides where/who/what they are sponsoring so that they see "best return" ie publicity for putting their hand in their pocket OR pockets as in this case

I for one would not like to see money spent on something to be used 1 or 2 times a season. Much better being used all the time.

Have to agree - what does it say in the minutes ?

The team we talked about at the AGM was the 15s, a good percentage of whom use our supporters club busses. Thats why I thought it was a brainwave from the committee. The 13/14s were never mentioned (& one of their coaches was present at the meeting too!!)

We are trying at the moment to get this situation sorted.

All paid up members for the 2008 / 2009 season should receive a letter over the next few days explaining in full the situation regarding our sponsorship offer.
