Programme editor

Seems as though I now find myself with the dubious honour of being my football clubs programme editor next season. In my role as Treasurer (I was appointed this last year around this time) I pointed out we couldn't continue making a loss on each sale of the programme. The income is mostly made in the advertising but we should also make some money on each sale. I suggested buying a photocopier and printing the programme ourselves. I wasn't expecting to be lumbered with the task of programme editor. Unfortunately we can't buy a photocopier until we get some money in. Sponsorship won't be available until 14th July. Advertising - invoices have been sent out to those that have agreed to renew but they seem reluctant to pay.

We are getting a new portacabin. The current one is too small. We use it as a committee room and small hospitality bar. So we are picking up another one on Thursday. It needs a fair bit of work done on it. Lucky we have a couple of Joiners that play for the team. I wonder if they know they will be drafted in to work on it.

Seems strange that I managed to avoid being on the committee for so long. I was first asked in 1991. And now I find myself with two jobs.
