City Fans United AGM – This Thursday
We would like to remind CFU members that it is the Annual General Meeting this Thursday (27th September) which takes place in the Blues Bar at Chester FC’s Swansway Chester Stadium.
The meeting will get underway at 7.30pm.
Financial Report year ending May 2018
Five directors posts were advertised as available, however only 3 applications were received. As the number of candidates does not equal or exceed the available places, there will be no election but an affirmative ballot at the AGM. Each candidate will be put before the meeting for the approval of members. To be elected each candidate must receive the support of more than half those present in person at the AGM and those who are not able to attend and have expressed their preference by returning the proxy form.
Since the AGM packs were sent out one candidate withdrew their application to stand, and so the two remaining candidates will need their applications ratifying at this Thursday’s meeting.
Previously we have streamed the CFU meetings live, however, due to the provider now charging for streaming. We are currently looking at other streaming options at present which would hopefully allow us to show the meeting live on Thursday night.
We look forward to seeing you there on Thursday night.
CFU launch new Life Membership package!
City Fans United are delighted to announce the official launch of a new Life Membership package available to new and existing members of City Fans United.
Members were asked in the Big City Census earlier this year on their thoughts on the life membership and the fee to join, and following feedback we are now in a position to release full details of the scheme which will allow you to be an owner of Chester FC for the rest of your life.
Life membership will carry a number of benefits (with some more still to be added as we progress through the season) including a Legends Lounge Experience for two people, a first team squad training session exclusively opened up to Life Membership holders with a chance to meet the managers, staff and players of Chester FC, a special open evening with a discount on items in the Club Shop available to members. A new pin badge has also been commissioned for Life Membership.
The fee for Life membership will be £1000, which will help the club build for the future, is payable by debit/credit card, cash, cheque, or by a maximum of four instalments on Direct Debit.
We would therefore like to invite those interested in taking up the Life membership to email membership@cityfansunited.com with their full contact details in order for us to contact you regarding signing up. You can also print off the Life Membership form, complete, and return it to Chester FC’s Swansway Chester Stadium together with payment.
Existing Life Members from the original Chester City Supporters Trust & Chester City ISA will continue as Life members of City Fans United, and can access the benefits of the new Life Membership package by upgrading from their current status, and are invited to sign up to the new CFU Life Membership package should they wish to do so.
We would like to thank those who have already registered an interest in becoming life members and naturally encourage more to join this new scheme.
Infrastructure Working Group
The CFU Board are setting up an Infrastructure Working Group.
The aim of the Working Group is to develop ideas and plans that will create a stadium infrastructure to maximise revenue 365 days a year.
The group will also look to create a stadium that is fully accessible to disabled supporters.
Once the plans have been agreed with the CFU Board and key investor, Stuart Murphy, the Working Group will endeavour to obtain the required planning permissions and oversee the project to completion.
Many skills are required. Creativeness to come up with ideas to maximum revenue from the footprint of the stadium and car park. We are also looking for people with building planning and engineering knowledge and experience.
While some of this could be bought in, the board wishes to maximse the return on Stuart’s investment therefore if volunteer’s skills are available then the most the bang from his buck can be obtained.
If you are interested in getting involved, please email david.williams@chesterfc.com
