We estimated that around 15 people would turn up on Saturday but we were happily proved wrong as over 50 fans enjoyed the Trust Members' Social. Thank you to those who were able to turn up. The members of the Trust Board enjoyed the event and hope that you did too. We also hope that some of you are encouraged to throw your hat into the ring as there will be vacancies at the elections in Oct/Nov.

Trust Boards are meant to fall out when they take over a club – we haven't. We've grown stronger and closer, but not to the exclusion of the new Board members who have been welcomed as equals, and as County fans, we are just that. Trust membership historically falls far more than ours has – we're at 601, and that's without any effort to recruit. We *will* be recruiting this coming season.

The headline statement many of you will be looking for is this:

From the unaudited accounts at 31st May 2006 Stockport County made a profit of over £86,000. The Trust Board didn't do that, WE did, the County Family did!!!

We're on the up – pass it on.

For those who were unfortunately unable to make it on Saturday, you missed a corker - here's some photos....
