Membership cards handed out to new members whove paid their 10 subscription. Bank Update Bank account will be with Natwest and should be set up by next meet. In the meantime Darryl is dealing with ticket requests. Venue Suggested the Holden Arms on Grane Rd as its not affiliated with the Trafford Red Sox. Agreed to try it for the next meet. Dave A checking out venues that have foreign TV channels for nonSky/ESPN games. Transport For home games hiring a minibus is expensive so agreed that car share is the best bet and its worked well so far. Next game a week Saturday so details will be arranged via email. Suggested we look at taxis or car share for the next branch away game which will probably be Blackburn. Tickets Application put in for Blackburn tickets and we are likely to get an allocation. Next away game after that is for the swamp, which might be harder to get all the tickets we request. Closing date for applications is 17th September.
