A brief meeting was held of the Trust committee on Wednesday evening.
The main purpose of the evening was envelope stuff as we continue our membership drive for the 2017-18 season. Over 200 letters are being sent out to former members of the Trust to encourage them to sign up for the new season. A further 400 letters will be sent out soon as well to supporters who were members last season. Application forms have also been sent out to every member of Rochdale Council.
Membership applications have been coming in thick and fast so fast, and we are delighted that over a hundred supporters have signed up already for the new season, The break down of that figure is 49 adult members, 45 exile members and 11 juniors.
The Trust took delivery of a significant number of Beer Mats at the meeting. This is a new initiative that is being introduced for the new season that will hopefully make it easier for members to sign up, whilst raising the profile of the Trust. We are in discussions in hosting a Quiz Night in which we will launch the Beer Mats. Keep an eye on the website in the next weeks for more details on this.
The next meeting will be held on Wednesday 21st June. That date has been chosen as the fixtures for the new season will be out, and we will be able to start preparation on a number of events to take place during the 2017-18 season. As always, please email the Trust at info@daletrust.co.uk if you have any concerns / thoughts.
