THE HONEST MEN TRUST

Trust Forum - United Not Going To The Wall But Player Fund Needs Your Support ! (29/11/03)

A positive Trust Forum meeting took place recently at Western House, with about 60 people attending, prior to the defeat by Ross County. Trust members presented successes already achieved by the Trust to date and the future projects planned. Trust Chairman and United Director, John Dalton put any rumours to bed that Ayr United were in severe financial difficulty however it was pointed out the Club, like many others, has to live within its means and would not spend money it did not have. An update on the Player Fund was given by Trust Treasurer, Alan Thomson, and questions were asked why people promising donations via The Honest Page poll were not signing up. The Player Fund has raised just over £3,000 to date but further pledges and donations are urgently needed to help strengthen the squad in January to avoid what would be a disastrous drop football-wise as well as commercially into the Second Division. Callum Yorke, the Trust Project Coordinator gave an update on current projects the Trust are working on namely improving facilities for our disabled supporters at Somerset Park as well as improving community sporting facilities within South Ayrshire. On the latter a meeting between South Ayrshire Council and Trust members has already taken place with positive initial discussions. A further follow up meeting has been planned. John Dalton, on this subject, presented the Brondy model where kids progress though the ranks of the club from the age of 4 and there was a suggestion that Ayr United could perhaps follow this model. A positive Question and Answer session completed the meeting. Visit the Trust Forum for further details on the Meeting and to air any views you may have.
