Penistone Reds meeting held at Crystal Palace Pub, Thurlstone
Thursday 15th May 2008

The first meeting of the Penistone Reds was attended by 15 members. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss how the club was to operate. The word ‘club’ refers to Penistone Reds. The following was agreed:- 

1. It was to run on a not for profit basis for the benefit of the members. 
   
2. A monthly meeting was to be held on the first Monday in the month at 8.00 pm prompt. Ad hoc meetings would be called as necessary (e.g. on 16th June when fixtures are released).
   
3. The Crystal Palace was to be the meeting place for the club and for any events organized by the club. E.g. BBQs, DVD nights etc.
   
4. Anyone is welcome to join the club – certain individuals may not be allowed to join (Pub Watch etc).
   
5. A fee of £10 per adult was to be the annual charge for membership. Under 16’s are free.
   
6. All monies were to be paid into a bank account which will need 3 signatures to issue a cheque. No accounts are to be kept as monies are to be paid in and withdrawn for next game. Any surplus left at the end of year to be used for free away tickets, travel or events.
   
7.  The club will have to have a constitution for legal purposes.
   
8. At the 16th June meeting, members will be expected to give some indication which matches they are likely to attend. This will help to plan the cheapest method of travel to away games. It was suggested that we approach Globe for away coach games.
   
9. It was agreed that a meeting should be set up with Barnsley FC as soon as possible, to discuss links with each other.
   
10. Most members were season ticket holders. For those who are not, the offer was made for the home tickets to be bought for any game. The location, number, type and monies would all have to be provided 10 days in advance.
    
11. Away game tickets and transport costs would also have to be paid 10 days in advance.
    
12. Once the supporters club is up and running a website will be established. Sponsorship is to be sought locally for this to cover domain fees.
