Witton Albion Development Fund

Hi all,
Just a quick note to (Re-) introduce the purpose of the Development Fund and what its aims and objectives are.

Basically the WPDF was set up about 6 years ago principally as a vehicle in which supporters could support and provide additional funds to those at the disposal of the Football Club to help augmetn the playing budget.

In those years we have had good times and bad times but throughout it all the Development Fund has been a constant provider of financial support to the board and management of the time.

The reason for the post is having read on various media outlets that people wish to support Brian, Mark and the Football Club financially, there is a constant need and vehicle for you to do that in the guise of the Development Fund.

How can you help/get involved - simple ASK and contact me, Neil, Jim Powell, Lenny or via Robbo in the club shop.

Currently all monies raised from various means, the Andy Lomas ran tea huts, Jim Powells predictions, Lenny’s 200 Club, the away coaches and functions that are being run by the DEvelopment Fund go to augment the playing budget as well as some other projects that help raise the profile of YOUR football club.

We also have a number of people who donate and have donated every month by standing order, support is needed just as much in lean times as in good times.

The band of people doing the graft isn’t very big and as we have done every year we need your help and support to continue doing what we do, so if you can continue to support the activities that are in place currently and more importantly if you fancy arranging something yourself then you’ll get the utmost support.

Finally thanks to everyone who’s supported us and by definition the Football Club, over the last few years, and please continue to do so or get involved!

Also there is our easyfundraising page

Should have put something about V1cs in the post - it may have got some response!

Good luck with next weeks meeting Robbo!

100% agree Andy.

Elsewhere on this forum people are falling over themselves to discuss 2 separate Northwich teams, whilst also getting excited over the every move of one of our ex-players.

Meanwhile at OUR football club, we find ourselves in the best position we have been in for several years.

However, if we wish to continue to grow and develop then we need more Wittoners to help us achieve this.

Before we know it there will once again be a “Northwich” team playing within the borough. Our window of opportunity gets smaller each day.

We’ve got a club legend as our manager, who is currently screaming out for our help.

He’s doing all he can - so now it’s up to US.

Next week’s meeting will go on to define the immediate future of Witton Albion Football Club (a name we have held for the entirety of our 125 existence, playing within the boundaries of our home town).

Just because we are doing better than expected right now, we cannot allow ourselves to take our eye off the ball.

We shouldn’t wait for a crisis before we come together as a fanbase, we should do it whilst we have such unrivaled momentum.

Personally, i do not want to see any more members of the playing squad leave. If anything, i want us to be in a position to strengthen the playing squad rather than weaken it.

We never expected to be sat in the play off positions at this stage of the season, but if we end the season missing out by a point, or a goal, then how gutted would we all be?

The future of Witton Albion is in OUR hands.

We need EVERY Witton fan to be present next week. If YOU hold this club dear to your heart, then make the effort to attend the meeting.

History has shown that these opportunities only present themselves once ever 125 years…i’m not planning on still being here for the next one!

Great post Robbo, couldn’t agree more.

Well worth a look

Excellent Woody, come on people switch your google to easysearch and make WAFC some easy money!

Sounds good!

However, just for us old geezers who were brought up on abacus’s, can you slowly talk us through how you set easysearch as our default browser?

Click on the link scroll right down to the bottom. There is a black box in the middle of said box is fundraising tips. Then click on the second one down set as homepage.

It also works on smart phones as well as computers.

I started with easysearch a month ago and have already raised £21.81! It couldn’t be easier. Come all you wittoners get on it.

A couple of key points I missed off its free to use and no sign up required!! So there really is no excuse for not giving it a try.
