When has any monies raised by the fans of the Dons ever sat in a bank account for ever and a day?-------Never,as far as i'm aware.

Up to now there has always been a club to give it to ! If all fails what would happen to money raised for a trust, and yes I do sometimes get up early to go to work.

Whilst there is a club to still give to then every avenue needs to be explored,and one of those avenues is the Supporters Trust ---should there become a time the club ceases to exist (God-Forbid) then the Supporters Trust and whoever its member's are would have to decide on what happens to any outstanding monies i would have thought.

The more of us on board the better, I think any help over the next few weeks starting from next Tuesdays meeting at the Drum (7.30 kick off) would be great.

Meeting at the Drum next Tuesday 7.30 kick off, the more the merrier, believe it will be hard graft for first few weeks, but worth it to keep the Don s alive.

When a Supporters Trust is set up the committee and it's members bust agree of their terms of reference, which is to say the aims towards which it strives. This has to be done legally as the comittee are acting as trustees for it's members and need to be accountable for their money.

If the club falls out of existence, the committee have the right to distrobute the money to causes etc which are deemed compatible with those terms of reference.

For example, a supporters trust could have amongst it's objectives this pretty standard one:

"Promote and Encourage inclusion into the game of Rugby League for all; regardless, of age, sex and background"

In which case the money could be donated to groups with the same objective (ie local amataur teams, scholarship schemes etc)
