News

1. SFA Grassroots Awards 2009 – as we put on the website we won the Community Club of the Year at a gala dinner at Hampden on Thursday – well done to everyone across the club.

2. 1000 Club draw for November: Winners 1st Maggie Gardner £221, 2nd XI Danny Costello £133 3rd Alun Williams £89. A good month for the veterans, Maggie’s husband played in the great 70s team, Danny played in the same team and then managed the club and Alun retired last year after 19 playing seasons

3. Academy Funding – as many of you know the Academy has taken on some very significant loan funding and we will be approaching everyone across the club to help manage down the loans. Over the coming weeks and months we will be launching a number of schemes. This week we are announcing a tie up with Utility Warehouse which will save you on your utility bills and help us raise money. We have become a Community Fundraiser with the Utility Warehouse. This partnership will will generate valuable extra income for the Academy.

The Utility Warehouse is a major British PLC, providing over 250,000 households across the UK with gas, electricity, home phone, mobile and broadband.

It’s simple. All you do is call the Community Fundraising Team at the Utility Warehouse on Freephone 0800 131 3000 during normal office hours. They’ll explain how the services are provided, whether you will be able to save money with them and, as there is no minimum contract, you can try them out risk free,

You’ll reduce your household bills and Spartans receive an income from introducing you to the services. But the difference is that for as long as you remain a customer we’ll receive an income. It’s a win win, you receive lower bills from an award winning company and we are able to generate much needed funds for the future.

Go on give the Utility Warehouse a call and support us. we will be putting a link thru’ the website very soon but in the meantime call the number and get started. There are a couple of us using it already and it is as simple as it sounds.

4. Training this week – hopefully the weather will be a bit better…3s at Peffermill on Tuesday and everyone at the Academy on Thursday.

Cheers
