Yes, it's in the media room at Odsal. The media room is opposite the ticket office.

This is a great way to directly get involved with the club. I used to do it when I lived in Bradford and the match tickets were certainly welcome!

So, what do we think as an agenda for this here meeting?
• Talk from Laura / Roy
• Open discussion following this to establish if this is a route we want to go down
• Discuss what we want from the club
• Discuss what we can give back to the club either with a ST or not
• Next steps
• Date of next meeting
Mission has kindly offered to take minutes.

I was also thinking about the trust and to ease the burden on individuals and came up with this (if we go down this route):
Each position is “officially” filled by those wanting to become more heavily involved. Each of this positions has an unofficial set of deputies / assistants, 2,3,4,5,? (which could be documented if needed), filled by those wanting to help, but are unable to fully commit.

I think that sounds about right. I don't think there was any talk about invlolving anyone from the club at the moment. That's as it should be, in my opinion, but perhaps - if we decide to go ahead - we need to discuss the approach to the club (who, by when, what deliverables etc.). Also, I think someone wanted some input from ex-BISA members about their experience. Should this be included in the agenda?

I think that there definitely needs to be some robust structure in place, with clear demarcation of responsibilities. In BISA, a few heroic individuals (certainly not me, btw) shouldered a disproportionately large share of the burden, and this was unsustainable.

Looks like a good agenda. I'd include someone like Adeybull in the initial talk who can give us some input about BISA successes/failings as MDF says.

For those who can't attend the meeting on Tuesday, let me know if there is anything they would like to raise (for example, possible goals for the trust/group) or particular days of the week they would like to avoid. That way anyone who was unable to make this meeting can still have an input and will hopefully be able to attend the next meeting.

And for those who missed the date, time or venue of the meeting (as it's a few pages back now), the details are in my sig.

Myself and a fellow Bulls fan (Dom) have been discussing this idea for a while however we've not got anywhere. Since reading the posts we feel that we'd be interest to see what it all entails. In light of this would any of you object to us two coming along on Tuesday evening?

Absolutely not! The meeting is open to anyone who'd like to come and discuss a supporters group and what would be involved, nobody is committing to anything by attending. Look forward to seeing you there!
