Final version of our Business Plan 

Posted on 20/08/2016 by

Final version of our Business Plan

Meeting on September 1st, 7:15pm in the Bar @ Tolka

Plan and Pledge

We have received a number of contributions to this final document and we’d like to thank everyone who contributed.  We will be seeking endorsement for the final version and will be launching our members and supporters pledge campaign.  Within the document is the figure for the Trust’s current cash in our bank account and PayPal account and also our new pledge form.  See the following link: Final Business Plan 2016
We are aiming to reach a six figure sum between pledges and actual cash on hand in the medium term.  We are asking Trust member to ask themselves one question and to answer it honestly.  How much financially would I be willing and able to contribute at this time if an opportunity arose for there to be fan ownership – broadly in line with the contents of our business plan – of the club?  I would encourage people to think seriously about that question and to read through the plan.

 

New Committee Members

We would also encourage people to think about coming forward to join the committee.  In the next couple of months a number of members will reach their term limit.  If you are interested in joining the committee then either contact us by email on shelstrust@gmail.com or come forward on the night to talk to any committee member.  The commitment required is approximately one committee meeting every two weeks during the season and one meeting every 3-4 weeks in the post season.  There are defined roles with support available from previous and current members of the committee.  As one of the members stepping down after this upcoming meeting I can personally say that the committee has been a supportive environment that allows people with different abilities to flourish.  It was an enjoyable experience with plenty of fun had and new friends made over my two years on the committee.

 

Brian Stafford,
1895 Trust Chairperson,
On behalf of the Trust Committee.

1895 Trust fundraising table quiz

Posted on 14/05/2016 by

We are hosting a table quiz in the Tolka Bar at 7.30pm on Thursday, May 26th with all proceeds going to the Trust.

The format will be teams of four and each team costs €40 to enter. Quizmaster Barry Worthington will be putting everyone’s knowledge to the test with what we imagine will be some fiendishly difficult questions.

There will be prizes on the night as well as a raffle and the chance to enter our Euro 2016 prediction league – more on that in the coming days.

So get revising and get down to the bar in Tolka on Thursday, May 27th in support of the Trust.

#RenewTheReds
