About the Trust

Trust in Yellow was officially formed on the 26th April 2006 by a group of supporters of Southport Football Club disgruntled by a lack of supporter involvement and a growing rift between the board of directors and it's supporters. During the six months which preceded the group had spent time carefully constructing working relationships with the supporters, board of directors, playing staff and media. Whilst wholly independent Trust in Yellow works closely with Southport Football Club to achieve their individual and respective objectives.

Reminder of Coach Travel Rules

Thursday October 08, 2009

Following several trips where we had numerous late drop outs which caused significant losses on the coach travel, TIY have had to initiate new rules for coach travel.

Trust in Yellow must have 30 confirmed and paid bookings for each coach this season to allow them to run so please book in early.
As an incentive to pre-pay there will be a discounted price structure. Payment on the day will incur the higher rate price.

Bookings can be made either in the Trust Office or Club Shop on a match day or by phone to Alan Scarisbrick on 07980-911693

A decision will be made on the Tuesday for a Saturday trip and on a Saturday eveing for a midweek trip as to whether the coach runs.

Att 29

Apologies Alan Drury, Paul Glendenning, Matthew Lawrenson

Phil presented and reviewed a full set of accounts with comparisons over the previous 3 and half years of trading. Points to note from the accounts – we are still able to claim £607 from Supporters Direct for running expenses. Current cash in the bank account amounts to £12813 of which £2000 has been paid to the club in respect to the running of the reserves. Phil has contacted Charles Clapham regarding a share certificate for the value and the chairman has promised to chase this up. All costs for the reserves will be listed against the payment and audited by Phil.
The accounts have not yet been audited, but will be presented to James Treadwell shortly to be approved and signed off.

Minutes Of Society Board Meeting - 9th July

Thursday July 09, 2009

In attendance: Paul I, Alan D, Alan J, Phil C, Alan S, Rob U, Julia U, Andy K, Martin R, Bill S.

Apologies Paul G

Invited attendees: Haydn Preece, Anita Shaw(reserve team secretary), Matthew(Junior co-ordinator via Facebook)

Facebook coordinator Matthew put forward several ideas he suggested for promoting the juniors around the town particularly at his school, Birkdale High. He has already approached the headmaster about the club sending in representatives to present at an assembly and Haydn said it would not be an issue for Alan and Matty to go in and if Matthew could provide some dates with the headmaster, then he would arrange for them to come in, give away some tickets and promote the club.

Matthew also queried Haydn on the pricing structure for Juniors, stating it was far too expensive and not in sync with the other prices and asked TIY to push the point with Charlie as there was still a chance that something could be done prior to the season.
