  Hi everyone, Well another season has passed and another successful one for The Fans Forum Sponsor Club. Time to reflect on things and look to next season. We shall be holding a low key informal meeting to discuss a few things in late June. It will probably be on a Tues/Weds/Thursday evening in a venue yet to be decided. The weeks we're looking at would be 16,17,18th June or 23,24,25th June depending on which suits the majority of attendees somewhere local to Eastville/Horfield area. Around say 7.30pm. If you would like to join us to ask any questions/suggest some ideas or maybe volunteer to help please let us know so we can gauge numbers, it would be great to see you. ....and once again thanks to everyone who has supported as members, joined us in Hospitality, pledged a GasBill or just had a good word to say about us. Together since we started we have raised around £12,000 for the club we love.Many thanks, JTS and Parrot.

Perhaps we could have a trolley dash around a local Sainsbury's and then abandon them as a lead up to the AGM ?  Count me in Jon, any of those dates are good for me, will be good to put a few more names to faces  'Bridgey' |

Confirmed venue/date:
Thursday 18th June 7.30pm The Sportsman, Nevil Road, Bristol, BS7 9EQ
Thought it made sense to use a venue who support Rovers, are fellow members of The 1883 Club and are next seasons Home Shirt sponsors.
I'm away from tomorrow til the 15th, so will be unable to reply in that time........Hope to see a few of you there
Please add your name to the thread so we know numbers please or let Parrot know, Thanks. UTG

A Summary of our Informal AGM Thursday 18th June
Venue: The Sportsman, Neville Road, BS7.
Around a dozen FFS Members were in attendance. If you were not there please feel free to raise questions/concerns/ideas you may have
Season 2014/15 saw us Sponsor 9 players, One First Team match and for the first time we became 1883 Club Sponsors, we also launched the successful “GasBill” fundraiser and gave away over 20 prizes to members the value of which exceeded £2000!
1. JTS and Parrot were re-elected as leader and Treasurer respectfully.
2. It was agreed membership fees would remain the same at £10 per person per season. We were reminded every penny raised goes to BRFC.
3. We agreed the name should remain the same and the “FFS” abbreviation is fine as it is.
4. JTS proposed a community ticket fundraiser but it was decided that it may interfere with the Community Departments good work.
5. It was decided we should aim to Sponsor at least 6 players, sponsor two home first team games and enter the 1883 draw again this season (funds allowing)
6. GasBill was unaminously voted to continue and the collection of payments was thought best to remain an “Honesty Box” type system with an occasional push/reminder in forum threads. It was also noted that a “GasBill” operator was required urgently to oversee and log pledges.
7. We decided to continue to Sponsor players that have not received a sponsor by season start with the exception of Tom Lockyer who we will Sponsor for the 4th consecutive season.
8. We have decided not to produce any merchandise at the moment for the FFS.
9. We will need to embrace all 3 forums more and help will be required on each forum to bump threads and help spread the word. JTS will continue to run the Twitter site but more “retweets” are required from members to again spread the word, the @ffsclub Twitter feed has nearly 700 followers at present. It was agreed maybe a presence on the Facebook Rovers Appreciation Page was required and we would need someone with FB savvy to copy/paste info occasionally.
10. To kick off the new FFS Season a Testimonial type thread will be started to encourage new members where existing members explain in their own words why its worth being a part of.
11. Parrot will approach Ian Holtby to ask if a special photo could be taken of a supporter in the Team Photo shoot..we would auction this place to raise more money for the club.
12. We will consider buying an advertising board at The Mem if funds allow to further promote the FFS.
13. The draw was made for the match worn shirts and 10 hospitality places at a future game.
Details will follow when known of how to collect/receive your prizes - thank you to all our members for their fantastic support and contributions this season

I won Ellis Harrison's away shirt - over the chuffing moon, that will be framed and put in pride of place in my "One season in the Conference" room at home. I was nearly the first fan to get to Ellis when he got the magical equaliser at The Shay. Fully deserved prize winner in my view. Thanks - when do I get it??
