Crystal Palace, Thurlstone

1. Mins of last meeting
• Mins of last meeting were agreed and all actions completed.

2. Review of York & Rotherham
• A minibus was hired for York and 8 travelled. Good journey – and keeping minibus contact on record.
• Globe coaches used for Rotherham and 22 travelled. Poor transportation which was addressed with the company.

3. Review of Barnsley FC Open Day
• Day went really well, partly thanks to the great weather. Plenty of fans showed an interest.
• Raised £375 on the day for signed Barnsley shirt which was won by a fan from Peterborough (Blue 001-005 ticket).
• An article was placed in the Chronicle by Howard Robinson (HR). Arthur Wilson (AW) thanked all for their help.

4. Car Boot Sale
• Rob Letherland (RL) explained how the opportunity had come about to hold a car boot sale in Penistone. He was currently trying to find out what permissions etc were needed. He was looking for a late September/early October Sunday date to hold the event.

5. Treasurer’s Report
• RL reported that we had a current balance of £839. 50. However, we still needed to keep the fund raising going for any unexpected costs which may arise in the future. There were now 43 paid-up members.

6. Browns Coaches
• AW and Andy Wilson (AW) had a meeting with Brown Coaches who seemed to be very willing to help in any way possible. They would sort out all contact with the Police. They were more expensive than Globe but still offered prices which could not be beaten by any other supporters group. Further info on Browns coached can be found at www.BrownsCoaches.com
• They did insist that all passengers must wear a seat belt at all times. BC said this should be added to the Coach rules which are permanently displayed on the notice board. BC to action.

• 12/08 Crewe – 5-7 Members (Personal vehicles)

• Interest in Blackpool, Southampton and Ipswich was shown. Members to confirm intentions ASAP.

8. Membership

• HR to approach Barnsley Chronicle for an item on PRSC.

9. Website
• No further forward with own domain website but Paul Robinson (PR) said there would be action before the next meeting regarding this.
• Cost would be about £10 a year.
• PR said that the Facebook (www.facebook.com) site had 29 members and is useful for unlimited storage of pictures, videos and minutes. www.tarntalk.com also has dedicated PRSC pages and you don’t need an account (like Facebook) to view.
• PR to action to take forward this week.

10. London Tykes
• BC reported that he had make contact but at the moment they were unable to come to Penistone for the Coventry. However they would like to know more and hope to visit later in the year. BC to action.

11. BBQ

I always thought it meant starting a 5 series BMW for an away trip to watch The Reds, but thinking about it now, it may be some sort of "code".
