-
Astro cost has increased 6% or £12 an hour, and we have added two hours to our normal booking for no extra players. The treasurer proposed, first increase in at least 10 years of £1 a week increase was defeated in a vote. So, fee remains at £3. To be reconsidered after Christmas.

-

Advertising is strong on Facebook and players are being drawn I based on what is being done on social media. The strongest income are the under 7’s which has gone from 10 up to 25.
-
Tiverton Town u16’s are currently funded by Twyford Spartans rather than Tiverton Town at present.
Events
Tournaments
- Tournament was a success with the 3-day set up but help was limited and a little last minute. Paula Westacott deserves a special mention and the feedback from other clubs was very positive. £6000 was made from the tournament which covered all the new gear and the awards
AOB
Tiverton town Football Club
-
Feedback being that there is no promotion from TTFC. The agreement is currently one way traffic.
-
Currently there has been no invite to the TTFC committee meeting. Both teams have yet acted on the agreement so both parties are party guilty.
-
It was also agreed no further amalgamation with TTFC will go ahead unless things change with 3g.
-
Joe Westacott will find out who the new contact is for the commercial department to send the Twyford info.
Away kit
