£1 MILLION CAMPAIGN: LATEST UPDATE

big strides are now being made in the campaign to raise £1m for Brentford Football Club. Bees United chairman John McGlashan on Sunday welcomed back walkers at the gates of Griffin Park following the Fun Walk through Hounslow, and large amounts of money were raised at the auction in Stripes bar. members of the supporters trust are now making sustained approaches to potential benefactors within the community and attempting to promote the campaign in the local and national press.

however..... there is still an urgent need for more volunteers and an increase in the membership of the trust, and some major initiatives are taking place in the next few weeks to achieve this. next week activists will take the appeal to the streets of brentford, with a large scale leafletting campaign and appeal for donations. application forms will be posted through 8000 doors so that passive fans can register their support and offer their skills to help our cause, and we anticipate a doubling of the membership by this approach. THE CAMPAIGN IS ONLY JUST BEGINNING!!
;)

Without seeming difficult, do you get any acknowledgment when you join Bees Utd?

I joined myself, my wife, and my son. My Dad has applied and I managed to talk two other family friends into joining as well.

None of us have heard from Bees Utd yet. Or is this standard procedure?

Was that recently Bob? I sent a batch of 106 acknowledgements out about 3 weeks ago :confused:

A newsletter is going out in a few days. If you email me the names i`ll get the database checked out and rectified if there`s an error(s) on it.

If any other queries re membership please email [email protected] and it will be looked into ASAP

Membership cards should be out very soon - early July -to all members (approx 750 i think) btw

I think you probably just need to be patient. Bees United do not have a large staff, ready to pounce on applications and process them before you can say "Wally Downes." It took them about four weeks to process my standing order and loan note.

Excellent effort to sign up so many!
