Meeting cancelled due to illness

Due to a bug in the camp resulting in the sickness of several CFU board members, regretfully tonight’s City Fans United meeting (2/11/15) has been cancelled.

We look forward to seeing all CFU members at our next scheduled meeting which is the AGM, to be held on Monday 26th November.

Streaming service launch

Chester FC will become the first club in the country to live stream all of its members meetings on the internet after two successful trials.

City Fans United members will now be able to watch the monthly members meetings from wherever they are in the world. The board hope that this will lead to members who live away from the city feeling more involved in the workings of the club despite their geographical distance.

The first meeting to be streamed will be the formal members meeting on Monday November 2nd, starting at 7.30pm. The AGM on November 26th will also be live streamed.

Board candidate applications reminder

The board of City Fans United would like to remind members that the deadline for applying to stand for election to the board is this Friday, October 23rd.

It has also come to the board’s attention, yesterday, that some members haven’t received the email inviting applications to the board which was sent out on October 5th. We have checked our IT systems for everyone who has contacted the club about this issue and found that the emails have been sent out to everyone who has been in touch so please check your spam folders. This seems to be a particular problem for hotmail accounts.

Just in case the spam filter on your particular email has rejected the email outright we have reproduced the letter sent to members below, with the relevant forms.
