Supporters get behind the Bid

Hey guys,

Sorry I haven't been able to get to the last 4 games of this season, absolutely gutted but real paid work comes first.

I was sent a press release from the Big Bath City Bid so I've put it up on my little site:

Glad it went well on Saturday in that respect at least. How many badges were sold? I need to buy one!

The hard work starts now though, keep backing the bid so we have a team to support next season.

Well done, Mark, a great report!

And many thanks to all Society and Supporters Club members who voted on these important decisions.

Yes it was a very positive day on Saturday. I got a badge!

Would love to get a tee shirt if they are for sale?

I heard that nearly £250 was raised from the badge sales - an incredible effort!

Oh, and Pete I will suggest that the club's canine supporters are not forgotten with the logo...

Yes Eric would be proud to support the bid with the appropriate clothing of course!

That is fantastic news Martin, chipping away slowly at the total. Let's hope fans and businesses can soon start buying community shares!

Is there any more news of existing share holders committing to converting their shares over? The less shares the Bid have to buy back at £1 each the better, and of course then those people will still own a community share in the club.

Great report, Mark. It was good to see the profile of the bid being raised so much on Saturday. Now just to get it out amongst the wider community.

Gutted I missed the game on Saturday Marc, would have loved to help out!

Got to earn some money however the shifts fall though, it's not looking good for next season already!

Not a problem, Mark. Can't be there all the time and this bit of publicity to share is great. I was a bit worried that there wasn't enough volunteers but there was plenty from here - comrade and BenE - as well as others so it was well serviced

No, I was suffering EGM lag! But I'm helping to organise our publicity campaign around the city during the Summer. Requests for help to come in the near future!

Share holders not been approached yet. I assume that won't happen until the prospectus is issued.

Oh, fair play. I am sure that you did above and beyond before the EGM.

Mark - so far around 10 shareholders have approached us and offered to transfer their shares.

Regarding the T-Shirts, we made 20 just for volunteers to use on the street stalls, canvassing in town etc, but a lot of people wanted to buy one! I think we ended up selling a few on Saturday, we'll definitely look at getting some more done and available for general sale.
