Hi Everyone,

As was mentioned on another thread, I have been going round on my bike this week delivering the notices for the A.G.M in a few weeks.

I have managed to do Walney and most of Barrow, though I still have the Hawcoat area to do, which I will be doing tomorrow.

There have been a few that I couldn't find, or missed and I will take them to the club tomorrow and I am sure they will be available to collect on Saturday, if not they will be posted out to you.

Exile who donated very generously to the MA Fund took a good handful of letters to deliver around Ulverston and notices for Dalton, Askam and further afield will be posted as well. Holkerbird has delivered several notices too, so thanks to them both.

If you are concerned you haven't received your notice and live in Barrow, feel free to PM me and I will let you know if I have it or if I couldn't find your address etc.

With the costs of stamps, hand delivering these letters (Just over 200) has saved over 100 pounds so it just goes to show what can be done with volunteers.

Thanks

Ryan

Well done Ryan

Top work young man!

Well done Ryan. We will do the last ones tomorrow. Not only has he delivered them but he also wrote the amended date of the AGM on the back of all the envelopes. He did 26 miles on his first delivery. Some holiday this has been.

Another little pointer for the BoD.......use the force Tony, use the force!

Great effort Ryan.

Yep, I mentioned about this in a previous thread a couple of months ago.
As well as AGM notices this could also be done for things such as Christmas/Grand National raffle tickets and other things that often gets sent out to members by post when the club could save money by getting volunteers to deliver them and save on the cost of postage.
Ryan has done a cracking job in delivering the number he has but I think for other times of the year when Ryan isn't here we'd only need 1 or 2 volunteers for each district of Barrow/Dalton/Ulverston to get several hundred delivered free of charge. Reckon we could save around £200 each time but could we actually persuade the board to let volunteers to do it though, such is the utter contempt and lack of trust many of them have in us?

Brilliant that Ryan, well done.

Not only does Ryan deliver these AGM letters, he spends shed loads of his free time doing all sorts of jobs in & around the ground!

Ryan is a real little grafter who loves this club
Hope to see you before you go back my friend

I received mine by post in far flung Yorkshire and there was a note asking for my e mail address for future correspondence. If everyone can supply their e mail, it will save any more need to do the rounds on a bike - except for raffle tickets I suppose.

Well done for getting on your bike to help out the club. Any regular reader of this forum might be under the impression that the club consistently refuses the help of volunteers such as yourself yet you have managed to make yourself very useful. I suspect a lot of offers to volunteer for the club are just hot air.

Delivery of Future AGM Notices, EGM Notices, Christmas Raffle Draw, Grand National Draw Tickets etc.

Any volunteers who would be willing to regularly deliver the above notices and tickets please contact me at bafcdirect@yahoo.co.uk with the area you are prepared to deliver to and your offer WILL be taken up.

Please contact me and I will compile a volunteers list ready for the next time delivery is required.

It would be great if we could have say 10-20 volunteers all doing different areas of Barrow (which area of the town), Walney, Dalton, Askam, Roose, Ulverston, Millom, etc, etc

I look forward to receiving all such offers as it will save the club many £££££'s each year.

Thank you in anticipation.

Regards

John Mackay (Director Barrow AFC)

I can do Ormsgill And Hawcoat John.

Nice to see John Mackay has taken the initative to get this sorted.
Can do Walney and could probably do more than 20. I'll email as requested also.

They only refuse help if the area of help peeps are volunteering for might give them a peek into the way the BoD operate financially, that's the problem.


Well done Ryan, your a credit mate, top effort.
