More updates than you can shake a stick at:
Citizen of the Year 2011We will be promoting this at the Banbury game, hopefully with a table at the back of the club house – please call by if you are interested in tickets for the award ceremony, helping or nominating an unrecognised person who gives unselfishly to others. The nominations are beginning to come in, and there is more in today’s Courier, so please spread the word.
Share Certificates
At long last your Brakes Trust share certificate will be available for collection at the Banbury game, hopefully in the club house as above, together with a car/window sticker and membership card if you haven’t collected it already – big envelopes will be provided to keep them safe. For our distant members we will send yours by post shortly.
Promote the Brakes in town
The Club is asking for volunteers to help promote the Club and the Banbury game on Saturday morning in town, see the official web site for details.
Brakes Trust donation to the Club’s “Keep Your Club Safe” fund
We will be presenting the Club with a cheque for £750 towards security improvements, made up of £500 raised via the scratch cards and a donation towards the fund of £250 from a Trust member who wishes to remain anonymous. The scratch card money, in line with the decision made at the last LFCSC AGM, is being donated to the club – with the Trust acting as a convenient conduit. The Scratch Cards are administered by Trust Board member Jim Miller.
Spot the Ball
After consultation with the Club, our new fundraising scheme, Spot the Ball, will be launched at the Banbury game. Sponsored by Mask-arade, this will give a novel twist to a football favourite, with a fun way of using your skill and judgement to have a chance of winnning a few quid. The proceeds from this Saturday’s competition will also be donated to the Club’s “Keep Your Club Safe” fund.

You never know who could be on …
Quiz Night – free Brakes Trust transport
And finally don’t forget the Quiz Night at the Club tonight (Friday), with a free mini-bus from town, provided by the Brakes Trust, thanks to our volunteer drivers – who might be hoping that the highway code will feature in some of the quiz questions.
thanks to everyone who supported the Spot the Ball today, almost a quarter of today’s crowd helped us to raise £149. The winning ticket, no 65, was drawn from the correct entries, but so far has not been presented. If that remains so, the prize of £30 will be rolled-over to the next home game.
The cheque totalling £750 for the proceeds from scratch card (£500) together with a member’s donation to “Keep your club safe” fund (£250) was presented by Trust Board member Jim Miller to Jim Scott at half time.
We still have some share certificate packs not collected and will deliver those local ones that we can, keep others for the next home game and post those that are further away.
The Citizen of the Year tickets are selling well with groups organising tables. They will continiue to be available at the next home games and also from the Assembly the Courier and on-line.
