Training facilities – discussions have continued with the local council – Cheshire West and Chester and Jim Green as CEO of the Community Trust will be the guest speaker at the next informal CFU meeting which is to be held on 19th January 2017 when it is hoped that further information will be available.

The Community Trust are working on obtaining charitable status, this could have benefits both for the Trust and the football club; it is expected that this could take up to a year to achieve.

Safeguarding – there was a discussion about this and ensuring that both the football club and the Trust were working to the same standards and it was confirmed that this was the case.
