483 – 108 founders, 319 new adult, 56 junior. JP to hand over to TC asap. Membership renewal letters are ready to go out as soon as the handover and TC is acquainted with the system.



Matters Arising
a. Raith Forum : The last meeting took place without a Trust or a Jim MacMillan Club representative present.
Discussed the role of the Forum which has two roles: Fund Raising and the election of a fan candidate to the RRFC board. Discussed the issues of the forum and the need to re-invigorate the forum with the Trust taking the lead role.

b. SPL2: No progress or updates, BW waiting on a response from Supporters Direct.

c. Report Card: Discussed AR’s report card and agreed the Report Card will be issued to Alex Condie and the board and subsequently to the Trust members and website.

d. On Line Shop: GC’s purchased doesn’t appear to have happened, subsequently the £30.90 is not correct. Requires a launch.

e. Raith TV: Group thought this was excellent and a valuable resource.

f. Community Group: The projects are well managed and other projects will be launched in the Spring.



Trust Board
No progress made.
From the last meeting: It is hoped that the next AGM will be held early in the New Year. Alan Speed (auditor) who has been on 3 weeks holiday will be contacted with a pre-engagement letter. – ONGOING.



AOCB
a. JP reported that TP and the community Group were launching the twi-light football league in Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath and the group has applied for funding from the Coalfield Regeneration Trust (£6832). Fife Council will also provide funds. The Trust will back this initiative with GC to look at providing funding.

b. GC mentioned the 200 Club Sports Night fund raising event was a success.

c. Although not discussed it was obvious that the venue is not conducive for the Trust meetings. There is an urgent need to find a new venue for the Trust board meetings. However, the next meeting will take place at the usual place.



Date of next meeting
Monday 26th February 2007 – 19:30 venue Novar Bar
