TASC board is up and is looking great. Thanks to Chris Ainsworth for the design & Mike Ainsworth for organising production of the Board.

Graham Rowley confirmed that he still has not received replies from Tesco and Aldi. Sainsburys’ refurbishment is scheduled for September, therefore we hope to be able to advertise matches after that in their store.

Ian Rosendaal proposed that the minutes were accepted and this was seconded by Steve Foster.

Fundraising

www.sweetthoughts.co.uk - Bob Allan presented the idea of producing rock with Alty written in the middle. Rock comes in 3 sizes,3 prices. Each stick of rock can contain a maximum of 15 letters down the middle. Each stick of rock comes with a label. Places Alty Rock could be sold:- Local shops, Altrincham Tourist Information Office, Ebay, Club Shop. We agreed to purchase from the supplier and Bob Allan agreed to action this.

No progress.

Brian Flynn confirmed that 11 people attended making a profit of £110 for the club. The club organisers have expressed that they would like to continue this as an annual event, however perhaps October would be a better time for attracting golfers i.e. when the holiday season has finished.

Harbingers have suggested November or December Friday or Saturday. It was confirmed that a Friday night would be better. Shaky Dog have now suggested that a date early in 2010 may be best for them. Idea was suggested that we could promote these events on local radio & newspapers.

Peter Foster bought along a copy of the calendar which has now been printed. Gavin Rathbone and Peter Foster have done a superb job in creating an excellent product. Calendars will sell for £9.99. It was suggested that two calendars are signed by the people featured in it and auctioned at the Ricky Ponting Dinner and Christmas Party. Calendar will be made available to purchase online.

First sales of T-Shirts made. £19 in commission received to date. Cultzeros will send a cheque every two months. We need to keep plugging the link as one sale was made directly and whilst this was picked up by Cultzeros and commission paid, we could potentially lose commission in future.

Mike Ainsworth asked Grahame Rowley if the bucket collections at half time could still be used for the SOS fund. Grahame agreed. Steve Foster to write about the SOS bucket collection in the TASC programme page.

Steve Foster reported that this was now up and running for the season.

Membership

Anthony Wright reported that membership now stands at 114 members. Mike Garnett and Anthony Wright are manning the TASC section of the club shop on matchdays.

Treasurer's Report

TOTAL RAISED TO DATE: £8,314.67

Fundraising

Andrew Nash has asked if Rocky Robin can have a new kit. The old kit has lasted around 10 years. A quote which Andrew has received is for £460+ VAT. Idea was to get sponsorship to pay for it. This is a idea still to be looked at. Andrew to get two more quotes if possible.

TASC newsletter still needs some work doing on it.

This will be next drawn at the Chester game on Bank Holiday Monday, 30th August. There will be one winner, who can bring a guest.

This is an idea put forward by John Gill and involves voting for the man of the match via text message. We agreed that this was worth investigating further and Brian Flynn will do this.

Website is still under construction. Ian Rosendaal will update content once site is up and running.

This will be operated by the Club for the last home game of the season on April 24th 2010. Specific invited schools will be attending Saturdays throughout the football season.

Monday 21st September at 8pm, venue to be confirmed
