March 2025 update

Posted by on Mar 3, 2025 in News and Events | 0 comments

March 2025 sees us start with a draw against West Brom.

It was back to playing the ball out from the back again, but given our two games against Sunderland and T’Blades, it’s not so bad. It is still average 2 points per game.

Monthly branch meeting

This was held on Sunday March 2nd at the Londesborough Club. The usual minutes from the LUSC execs were read out, as well as the SAB minutes and notes. The Football Governance Bill is still being discussed in Parliament. It is now at the House of Lords at the Report Stage. Dave says that he isn’t sure whether anything will change as there is so much money involved. There is always hope that it might stop another Bury event, but remember, it is the hope that kills.

There was a discussion regarding the pre-season friendlies. Angus was evidently in with the away fans at T’Blades and was apparently hinting about a trip to Helsinki and then a game against Sc*m or Rangers. We weren’t sure if this was before or after he went to the bogs at half time, and if anyone had offered him anything. I’d hazard a guess that until the actual pre seasons are announced, there isn’t any point planning anything. Given it is still March 2025, there is plenty of time to plan.

Away games

There’s been a dearth of tickets lately. It is basically luck of the draw in all the sales. we just haven’t been very lucky! Despite being 120 in the queue for QPR, the cupboard was bare! Bear in mind, we used to get that whole end for QPR (crap view that is is) but the allocation’s now restricted due to QPR not selling the lower tier anymore. Apparently we are also being limited by previous bad behaviour. We are managing to pick up passengers requiring travel, so funds are ok as it stands. But with Luton and Oxford looming imminently, the bank is going to be severely depleted by April. Luckily, we decided not to run a bus to Plymouth ages ago.

Memberships

We will be looking to stop memberships at the end March, as the season will hopefully be drawing to a close by then. The website is still attracting members. If there is more stuff on there to read, it may prove even more valuable. Hint to anyone who wants to contribute articles / pieces!!!

A.O.B

The quiz!

Thank you for everyone who has got back to us. The LUSC Annual Quiz is a good laugh and there will be a raffle for a signed Leeds shirt from 2016/17 donated by our President Josh Warrington. The teams are as follows:

Chairman Charley, Steve Smith, Dargs and Acid

Andy Yates, Rob Cartman, Ricky Greenwood and James Proctor

The Tovey and Barry team

Smuff, Max Littlefair, Ben Simpson and possibly Paul Ingles

Ripon Mark, Leoni and Jane Parkin and Maz (or Emily if he can’t make it)

The Secretary, gdb, Dave Poole and Peter Hart

Ripon Kev, Jordan, Morro and Adam (Dougie’s lad) from Ripon.

Sponsorship Hospitality Tickets

Still awaiting confirmation, but hopefully, it’s the Swansea game on Saturday 29th March 2025 3pm. SkyTVisf**kings**t have announced their televised games, and it isn’t one of them. Tickets available from Andy or The Secretary at £1 each. Will draw the winner nearer QPR game. Good luck everyone!

Annual Summer BBQ

We will discuss at the next meeting and speak with Trish to see what availability the Londesborough have.

Season tickets

There was something on the Leeds website on Friday. No one has actually clicked on yet to see how much they are. Last year they told us they would be going up again to “equalise” the pricing. I take it it means making things level as opposed to Edward Woodward’s The Equaliser from the 80s or the Denzel Washington latest versions. At least that would make it interesting!

February 2025 update

Posted by on Feb 20, 2025 in News and Events | 0 comments

Monthly updates have been scarce. Apologies. Here is the February 2025 update / info from previous monthly branch meetings.

Monthly branch meeting February 2nd 2025

Exec minutes read out and SAB reports.

LUSC sponsored player is now Isaac Schmidt, seeing as Charlie Crew is now at Donnie and Harry Gray wasn’t an allowable option. Leeds United are going to start asking fans re stadium new build, keep eye out for emails etc. Annual quiz will be March on a Thursday night (see AOB). Last year the place was full to bursting, so LUSC need to confirm numbers to ensure enough seating and food. No info yet if there will be any opportunity to do an Thorp Arch children’s event as in previous seasons.

SAB – feedback from Manor Solomon chant, police and EFL say no hate crime etc. but Leeds don’t want people to sing it and season ticket wait list. Club saying not all seats are being filled at home games , so desperate to get bums in seats – sorry get more revenue in from people buying tat from the Club shop and overpriced food and drink. They are warning that you will lose your S/T if you don’t transfer on to a F & F or at least sell it back to the Club if you can’t go / get stuck in traffic. Apparently, even if you seat doesn’t get sold, you will still get some money back, so if you can’t make it, just return it.

Memberships

Numbers still increasing, some from website and some from LUSC website. Need to set a closing date for memberships. We need to set up a meeting with the Membership Secretary soon to retrieve the forms. Reminder that membership forms need to be filled in, and subs paid EVERY year.

Away games

Due to the paucity of tickets, it has been a challenge for some games. Hence the need to raise money re raffles / footie card etc. We will try run buses to every game, bar Plymouth at the end of the season. We will try to get seats on other buses for Plymouth away for members who succeed in getting tickets / away season ticket holders. Pompey will be a struggle. As will Oxford, Luton etc. As of February 2025, realistically there’s probably only Boro left with a decent allocation. We urge EVERYONE to try to log on and get their own tickets, as many hands make light work! We haven’t been doing so well lately. We will still try, but with us doing well, there are more people wanting to go. Even with the likes of T’blades charging £40+.

A.O.B.

Sponsorship

As of February 2025, we are now the proud sponsor of Josuha Guilavogui. The decision had to be taken rather quickly, so The Secretary and gdb took that decision, but it was agreed at a previous meeting that we could. He seems like a nice bloke, I think he donates most of his wages to a orphanage in Guinea in West Africa.

Josuha Guilavogui Foundation

Although he hasn’t started a game yet, he has come on as sub a few times. He might not be here very long, but we haven’t lost a game that he has played in, long may that continue.

As part of the hospitality there may be opportunities to go to an event at ER and of hopefully some Hospitality tickets, which we will open out to all members as usual.

LUSC Annual Quiz

It will be held at ER on Thursday 13th March. Usual pie and pea supper and quiz. I need potential players and team names please asap. I think the Smuff and Littlefair brothers combo did best from our branch last year. Probably as they were sober (or at least the most sober, most of the night). It is a good do. You get to see people who you see at football normally and get to have a chat with some of them. So we would encourage you to attend. It’s the taking part that counts – not the winning! Although that doesn’t negate from people doing a bit of revision! The branch will help towards transport costs and the first round if you get a receipt.

Fundraising

Anyone with any ideas for fundraising, please get in touch. The branch is not for profit, anything we make gets churned back into the branch for events like the quiz, the annual BBQ and any other events that we can organise. We also aim to donate to St Michaels and the Christmas Day event that Bruce Reid organises in Knaresborough. The Alan Sutton event was excellent the other year, as was the 40th anniversary event. I’m sure Andy Yates would appreciate any help. Please try to participate in the raffles / etc.

Monthly branch meeting

This is held on the 1st Sunday of the month (unless we are playing). Please try to attend if you can. This is the only way to keep up to date with what the branch / LUSC etc is doing, and it is your chance to contribute. Not everyone is on social media / contactable, and we are really struggling with away tickets, so just turn up if you can please.

Memberships

PLEASE remember you need to renew EVERY year by filling in a membership form and pay subs (as required). You cannot participate in the events if you are not a member. One form, once a year. That is all. It has been like this every year. For ages.  If you aren’t on the email list, you ned to let us know. Or at least give us a postal address.

We are NOT a ticket service though. We can help you order tickets if you are a F & F and cannot navigate the website, but that is the only way. We try to run a bus to most / all away games, tickets permitting. Tickets are not that easy to come by anymore, now that we are doing well. 10 years ago, away tickets were not a problem. But that was because we were crap, and no one wants to go back to those days ever again.

September 2024 Update

Posted by on Oct 12, 2024 in News and Events | 0 comments

Here’s the slightly delayed September 2024 update.

After a decent end to September, October has had a bit of a poor start.

I have got over Meslier’s mistake (as we all make them) and now fully lay the blame on

a) messing about at the corner flag instead of going for a third goal to kill the game off

b) Bogle’s daft needless foul when there were another 4 Leeds players around him and that guy was going nowhere

c) decision to sub Willy at 95 minutes which extended the game further

Although, realistically Sunderland hadn’t conceded at home all season, let alone let two goals in.

Consequently, I like most, would have taken a draw at kick off. Nevertheless, I just hope we won’t be rueing this result in March. However, it hasn’t been the worse September that we have ever had, Willy is still here. So, as we used to say under Bielsa, we go again. Like Earth, Wind and Fire, we will remember, the 21st night of September.

Monthly Branch Meeting

Thanks to all who turned up. LUSC exec minutes read out as were SAB minutes. Discussions around stadium development were had, Leeds are asking for feedback. Thank God we still have Gnonto. LUSC fixture lists are now available, please remind us if you haven’t got one.

Memberships

Everyone who sent a self addressed stamped envelope with their renewal form should have received their LUSC cards back. The ones who haven’t will get them on the bus at aways (if you are lucky enough to get a ticket!) or in the Holbeck Club matchday or at a monthly branch meeting. The Membership Secretary is processing them as quick as he can.

Away games

Members should continue to inform us if they want to go to aways and we will try help out with ordering tickets for those who have no access to the internet / website on sale days. Members are reminded to book a seat on the bus as soon as a ticket has been secured, as we will try to fill the bus for every game.

Player of The Month

Thanks to everyone who has voted so far for September. It is good that the majority of the branch do vote every month and have their say. Pretty much everyone has voted for Willy, but Firpo has been excellent as has Pascal. Not forgetting top scorer No Piroe, No Party

Leeds United Sponsored Player

Still no news despite several emails. There is a decent amount of money in the bank to pay for it. It just depends how much it has gone up by from last year. It was overwhelmingly decided that it is important for the branch to have a sponsored player. A local born one if possible, but certainly one from the Harrogate & District area.

A.O.B

It was good to see a Wrays bus for Cardiff. I’m sure it brought back some memories from the good old days. There were certainly enough comments on the Noseybook post. One from Malcom Wray himself!

August 2024 update

Posted by on Sep 2, 2024 in News and Events | 0 comments

August 2024 monthly update as follows:

Thank God that transfer window’s shut. The January window will be here before we know it, but at least Gnonto is still here. And, after all that mega whingeing from all the superfans about how much the Club were letting the fans down, it looks like we have got some cracking signings in Soloman, A O – let’s go Tanake et al.

I’m still griping as I thought Rutter would have stayed. But, the lure of the PL and the massive agent bonus fee, was obviously a bridge too far. By all accounts, had Archie not gone when he did, the EFL was going to hit the Club hard with a points deduction for not balancing the books by the 1st of July. FFP – if you put money in, something has to come out. It’s not called balancing the books for nothing!

After a not so brilliant start to the season, it has improved. August 2024 had at least one Cup game at home, woo hoo! Though, to be honest, if that is how we play at home in the Cup, we’re probably better off not getting a home tie! The less said about the drivel that was that Boro game the better.

Maybe that was the straw that broke the back when Georghi was deciding whether to stay or go. Perhaps he’d had enough of passing sideways and dead ball, set pieces in the oppositions half going back to Meslier. I don’t hold a grudge against him. He took so much stick when he arrived and at the start of his first proper season, I’m surprised he lasted that long. No doubt at all he was playing with an injury at the end of the season. Hernias don’t heal that quick, and stop / start / turns aren’t going to help in any recovery.

If he’d been allowed to just run at goal and shoot, rather than stopping to pass to that mardy git Summerville, so he’d look good in the shop window, he’d have got back to fitness much quicker. We might have actually gone up. However, Summerville needed to be paraded about so we’d get maximum profit. It’s funny how the relatively inexperienced Gray netted us more up front, than the Elite EFL Player of the Season. You can guess who I have a grudge against.

Back to August 2024.

Monthly branch meeting.

The monthly branch meeting is held on 1st Sunday of the month at the Londesborough Club, Bower road, Harrogate at 8pm, unless we are playing that day. All members are welcome.

Memberships.

Most people have renewed, thank you. If you haven’t yet because you are having problems with printing it out etc. please get in touch as soon as. You’ve got another 4 weeks tops.

Bookings.

Please get in touch if you want a seat on the bus or you’d like us to try order you tickets. Genuinely, we do not have psychic powers. If I hold messenger up to my head, there is no osmotic type transference. You need to tell me and I need to confirm it. Booking on but failing to turn up without a decent excuse, results in one strike and then  you are out. As of August 2024 Cardiff bookings currently being taken.

The rule is that paid up branch members get first dibs. Given the fuel rises and the subsequent increase in coach prices, we will take new members to fill the coach.

We won’t be running a bus to Plymouth, as voted on at the meeting. There won’t be that many tickets, it’s an early kick off and it’s a bloody long way. Please feel free to start looking into alternatives like train fares and accommodation. The likelihood will be that it will be moved to 12.30pm kick off.

Mailing list / facebook closed group.

The new 2024/5 season email list has been updated. If you find that you have renewed but are not on the mailing list, please get in touch. Those of you on facebook, you will be added to the closed group once the form has been processed. Currently anyone can post on the closed group, but if you start sharing rubbish which isn’t related to the branch, that will be changed. The public facebook page is open to all. No friend requests are routinely accepted as the AI / WEF / globalist bots keep trying to hack the page. Until this stops, I won’t be clicking anything.

Player of the Month vote.

Each branch member has a vote in the LUSC Player of The Month at the start of the next month. There will be a mail out or facebook post with a deadline for replies. Please reply to get your say. At the end of the season, the player with the most points will be awarded the trophy, provided he is still at the Club. Given most recent winners have been Kalvin, Harrison and Summerville, it’s not exactly a glowing recommendation. At least we are consistent.

Fundraising.

The Fundraising Officer is still continuing with his efforts. Please make sure you renew so you can be included in all the events. All events will be advertised as and when.

Leeds United Sponsored Player.

As usual we have to wait until the end of the August 2024 transfer window. Our last season’s sponsored player was Charlie Cresswell, who is currently doing well at Toulouse. When I get more info on who our potential sponsored player will be I will be in touch. More importantly, if the price is amenable, and we are given a choice, there will be an update.

Website.

This website is very difficult to keep up to date. If anyone is good at wordpress and has more time than me, please step forward. The blog is out of bounds, but any other news or events or photos are appreciated. It is hoped that once the Chairman retires, he can do his own Chairman Charley bit. I am sure he would appreciate any offers to be his Secretary.

LUSC Programme page.

If any branch member does anything spectacular and would like it to be in the programme, please get in touch. I need a decent quality photo / jpeg > 1mB and some (140 or so) words please. It doesn’t need to be spectacular, as God loves a trier – JOKING! Just something that you may be proud of or a group photo at a game. Nothing illegal / disreputable please! Any articles will be heavily vetted before they go to print.

A.O.B

Any other business, as opposed to A O Tanake.

There is a face to face LUSC exec meeting at ER once a month. Any branch member is welcome and you can come and hear / see what the LUSC do. Only Exec committee members can vote, but anyone can chip in and ask questions and contribute. The LUSC are the reason we are here and we do what we do. If you have any suggestions or if there are any issues that you think need to be raised, come along.

The season has begun in earnest. 1st, 2nd or 7th again. Wembley and it’s £7 pints can do one.

Monthly Update January 2024

Posted by on Jan 17, 2024 in News and Events | 0 comments

Monthly update January 2024 including minutes from monthly branch meeting held Sunday January 14th 2024.

Apologies for being incognito since last year, it’s been a bit hectic.

January 2024 update.

It’s freezing!

Ray Fell

Very sad news that former LUSC Chairman Ray Fell sadly passed away in December after a long illness. Ray was a great friend and until he stepped down as Chair in 2016, was a very active, hard working and loyal servant to Leeds United Supporters Club. Even after he stepped down, Ray was still keen to attend exec meetings (health permitting) and always happy to have a quick pint and chat in The Peacock afterwards. Ray was given Honorary Vice President after stepping down from his 31 year tenure. But hestill attended the AGM and the odd exec even after lockdown. He probably saw more Leeds United Chairmen and owners than anyone I know. He met them dignity and humility. But always representing the LUSC with honour and pride. He always fought for our voice to be heard as representatives of season ticket holders, members and travelling fans both home and away.

Thanks to www.leedsunitedsupportersclub.org for the picture

Ray led us through our darkest hours when B*tes did his very best to destroy the Supporters Club and replace it with his very own “Regional Members Clubs” . RMCs who took the B*tes shilling. K*n’s masterplan of taking the LUSC down failed. We said at the time, “we were here before you, we are still here now and we will be here long after you are gone”. B*tes has gone from our Club at least. Thankfully Cellino did what needed to be done – cheers Massimo – I always liked you! (However, given K*n has made a pact with Old Nick and sold his soul, gone may be a long time coming.)

The LUSC is still growing, despite football changing “progressing” into what it is now. It is nothing like what it used to be when I started going, but time and tide stop for no man.

The fact that the LUSC is still going is testimony to Ray and Eric Carlisle before him. These two laid the groundwork. Building on the foundations of those before them, who founded Leeds United itself in 1919. It is something that we should never forget. Rest In Peace my friend.

Monthly Branch Meeting

The meeting was a week late due to us playing away (no surprise there then!) in the 3rd Round of the FA Cup the week before. Good job too, as we won at Peterborough. Woo hoo! And we are now proudly through to the 4th Round – yes – 4th round of the FA Cup. At home – yes – at HOME – to Plymouth.

Minutes from the four execs were read through and discussed.

1)There were lengthy discussions re the thieving charlatans at Sunderland who forced unsuspecting Leeds fans to part with their coinage, lighters, phone chargers etc. in order to gain entry into the Stadium of Light. Our branch feel that this is an outrage, and things need to be taken further. The buckets outside taking the coinage were allegedly going to be given to charity. Given that any legal charity collecting should be done in sealed buckets and clear signage of said charity should be clearly displayed, we don’t think that this is the actual case. We will await further discussions.  2)Turnstile problems were also discussed. There have been ongoing issues at the Captains Corner since the start of the season with many fans not being able to get in because the turnstile has jammed. These fans who have not been able to get in, have been forced to walk round to the ticket office to get a replacement. Some have had to go through Fullerton Car Park as an alternative to doing a 3/4 lap and back round the ground. Some fans have managed to fight through the away fans in the West Stand car park. Either way, it is not satisfactory at all, that in this day and age of electronic ticketing, the ageing turnstiles and infrastructure simply cannot cope. Luckily the ticket office staff were there to help out at the Ipswich game and then a man from the turnstile company was there at the Birmingham game. Some fans still did not get in, and were forced to go to the ticket office. If there are any other parts of the ground where people struggle to gain access, this may need to be noted and Leeds United informed of the issues. If they don’t know, they cannot improve. It was noted that when we had season ticket cards this was never an issue.

Memberships

The Membership Secretary is still very active. We are continuing to get more enquiries via the website, all forms with self addressed stamped envelopes will be returned with the 2023/4 season membership cards. No envelopes will mean you take your chances with getting to an away game or seeing us in the pub if we remember to bring the cards along.

Away travel

We have said we will try to run buses to every away again (tickets permitting). We have so far, and will be hoping to run to Plymouth, tickets permitting. All members are reminded and encouraged to buy their own away tickets if at all possible to save work for the rest of us. Bookings currently being taken for Bristol. Members are also reminded to keep an eye on the Leeds website for sale dates.

Treasurers Report

Despite running buses to every game this season we are still breaking even thanks to more new members joining and travelling. Long may this continue.

Fund Raising and Events

Andy Yates would like to thank everyone who participates in the football cards. Draw tonight for the Big Card was won by Mick Pratt. We will aim to do a raffle at the Spring event, anyone who wishes to donate a prize, please get in touch with Andy

Rowsey and Andy have spoken to The Londesborough. The plan is for the Spring event to be held there on Saturday March 23rd from 1pm to 7pm approx. Paul Wilson will be providing the music later on in the day. We are hoping to have special guest(s) to do a Q and A session and hopefully help to draw the raffle prizes out. No decision made yet re tickets etc. but we will expect either pay on the door or some donation, if no formal tickets organised. Once costs paid out, there will be a donation as usual to St Michaels Hospice, Harrogate.

A. O. B

The Annual LUSC quiz night will be held in April. Format will be the same, 4 people per team and pie and peas supper (bring your own mint sauce). We had 6 teams last year. We still didn’t win. Come on people – let’s at least try to give Fullerton and Griffin a run for their money this year. Please try to revise. 1st goal scorer is good bet and some random question about soaps (not the stuff you use to wash with).

We have put a request in for Millwall to be the chosen game for our Hospitality tickets as part of the sponsorship package. Still awaiting confirmation.

Anyone who has any experience on wordpress is welcome to help with the website. It is hard work to keep everything going. Anyone who thinks they can help out with any aspect of running the branch is very welcome to get in touch.

October 2023 update

Posted by on Oct 6, 2023 in News and Events | 0 comments

Apologies for the absence, here is the October 2023 update.

Hopefully we are back on track with doing monthly updates and a blog once in a while. Life has been getting in the way as usual, but we just keep plodding on. Cheers to everyone who reads the website, sorry there hasn’t been too much of late.

Monthly Branch Meeting

Monthly branch meeting was held on Sunday 1st October at the Londesborough Club. Thanks to all who attended. The minutes of the last meeting were proposed and seconded and agreed as a true representation of the last meeting. No matters arising.

The Secretary read out minutes from the previous LUSC exec meetings. Stadium improvements / repairs are continuing at ER. Nothing major will be done until we get back to the PL as there will be more money to do so. Police feedback from away games is essential whether it is good or bad to ensure our safety is maintained. There is a new branch in Mallow (Ireland). The Sponsors event at the U21 game against Nice to be attended by branches who requested to go into the draw. Griffin, South Kirkby, Us and Darlington. Max Littlefair got drawn out as our branch member. Still waiting to hear back from Leeds re meeting (been a long time) and plan is still to hold another event like last year at Skybet, but with more attendees. We will look to attend Annual Quiz and we need to let exec know how much interest there will be for an Annual (?end of season) dinner.  Everyone who attended the Thorp Arch event had a good time. The manager and players very excellent. Thorp Arch event (see AOB). LUSC Hospitality raffle game will be the last game of the season (Southampton). On account that the day is fixed and cannot be moved, so it will be easier for International branches to plan. Minutes from the last SAB glanced over.

Membership Report

We are still taking memberships and actively encouraging anyone who travels on the coach to join up. We have been the beneficiary of Mick Grinch’s policy of ruining rail travel for the 21st century. The feared losses on the long away trips have been placated so far, meaning finances are ok at present. The first tranche of cards have been sent to all those who enclosed stamped self addressed envelopes and The Membership Secretary has asked for more cards as he has nearly run out. Those who have not supplied return envelopes will just have to wait for The Secretary to remember to bring them for away games or pre match drinking.

Treasurer Report

Sponsorship of Charlie Cresswell cost £1800, which has been paid in full and a receipt obtained, so we are legit now. Financially, thanks to Mick Grinch, despite Ipswich, Millwall and Southampton games, we are still in the black. Only Norwich this side of Christmas, but then January / February is going to hit us hard with Cardiff, Bristol City, Swansea and Plymouth in quick succession. We will need a lottery win.

Away Games

We have run a bus to every game so far (apart from Salford). Bookings being taken for Norwich and Stoke. A reminder that if people can get on and order their own tickets, they need to do so. Leicester now has been moved to the Friday night for the True Gods of Football.

A.O.B

Chris Bowes has very kindly offered us a holiday stay. Info will be sent out via closed group on noseybook and via the email list. Great gift. Thanks Chris Bowes. It is very much appreciated. Our sponsorship hospitality tickets will be requested for Millwall in the first instance, Rotherham as second choice. As always, only paid up members can participate in the raffles. All members need to fill in a form every season.

Thorp Arch event organised by LUSC was attended by Ken and Grace Anderson. Both had really good time. Grace got load of photos with players on the day. As always, these events are excellent and all members will be given a chance to apply. Hopefully LUSC can organise more in the coming season.

Sponsorship is now secured. We have the certificate signed by Ain’t Nobody, like Mckennie, plays with Adams, for the U S A – Weston McKennie. The shirt is proudly on Frankie’s wall at the Hunslet Club. No Thorp Arch event like there was pre Bat flu at present, but there might be a chance once the manager has had the chance to settle in a bit. The Nice game was attended by Max as part of the LUSC Sponsorship of Archie Gray. We will email Leeds requesting Millwall as our preferred choice.

Rowsey has agreed to coordinate an event. We will try to plan ahead in hope that we get someone attending from Leeds United. Dave will try for Bilton Club again or maybe Manhattans. Both previous events were well organised, well attended and excellent. So fingers crossed, Dave and Andy Yates will get something sorted which will be a good night and hopefully some prizes to raffle off to help pay for facilities.

The giant football card winner was Makaela Rolph. Well done. Definitely not a fix. Decision not to film it was an easy one, seeing as we made such a hash up of it last time.

Website

Even though it is difficult to keep this site updated we are still getting new members through it which keeps the branch going with new blood. If anyone is able to help out, PLEASE get in touch. It is an on going cost, which will no doubt increase, but the branch is continuing to expand. We are all getting older, some people have obviously passed on, but if the branch is to continue we need new members who will travel, contribute, attend functions etc. to help keep us going. If anyone is able to share the load of posting new articles / posts etc. please get in touch, there is only so much one person can do.

Merchandise

There are still drawstring bags, shopping bags, wristbands, car stickers and pint glasses here if anyone wants anything I will try to remember what the prices are.

Christmas cards

There will be an LUSC Christmas card again this year. Please can you get in touch if you want any. When the first print is available, hopefully in early November, we will get the photo of it to you so you can place your orders. They are always good quality.
