BANTAMS SUPPORTERS TRUST

We would like to thank all of you who participated in the Bucket Collection on Saturday April 25 th at Valley Parade, our last fixture of the season against Bolton Wonderers. The Trust had 8 volunteers with buckets all around the ground. There will have been a few more helping out also. With there been an attendance of over 23,000, we hope this will have added to the total amount collected before the game. We well let you know the total raised as soon as we find out. Once again we would like to thank all the collectors for doing your bit. Whatever we have raised, this has been a great collective exercise and great achievement.

Its not long till’ Saturday, and it would be great to have more volunteers. We do already have a handful of committed souls but we can never have enough. Last year, we had approximately 15 volunteers, with mostly our members and supporters from the Disability Club and Shipley Bantams. For the 40 th anniversary we raised an amazing £7,387.70 during the bucket collection before the match, almost double on what was raised the year before. If you would like to be involved in the bucket collection please contact us at hello@bantamstrust.co.uk . Arrangements Volunteers should arrive from 1pm outside the WD Gate entrance - the large gates opposite the club shop. Our names will be ticked off before we all receive buckets and then stand outside the various entrance points around the ground.

It is rapidly coming to that time of year when we will all be coming together give our respects to those who tragically lost their lived in the Valley Parade fire, and this year will mark the 41 st anniversary. Last year, we had approximately 15 volunteers, with mostly our members and supporters from the Disability Club and Shipley Bantams. For the 40 th anniversary we raised an amazing £7,387.70 during the bucket collection before the match, almost double on what was raised the year before. This year, our last home match of the season, versus Bolton Wanderers is on the 25 th of April, and as always there will be a bucket collection. If you would like to be involved in the bucket collection please contact us at hello@bantamstrust.co.uk . We normally expect volunteers to arrive from 1pm outside the WD Gate entrance - the large gates opposite the club shop. Our names will be ticked off before we all receive buckets and then stand outside the various entrance points around the ground. We don’t think it will be any different. We’ll be putting out another reminder next week so we hope to have confirmation by then.
