   Arthur informed the meeting that a meeting was to be held with Barnsley FC Trust to discuss how we could work together. 
7. Membership
   Barry reported that a database had been set up after the first meeting with 15 being present. 2nd June meeting had seen this figure rise to 24 with more promising to join. Barry said that we should be looking at approx 50 before the start of the season.
8. Transport
   Arthur referred to the notes of the meeting with Barnsley FC regarding use of official coaches. The meeting was not in favour and wanted a PRSC coach. Arthur had spoken to Globe coaches and had got prices for several journeys which were extremely competitive (e.g. Sheffield £5 per person). Other avenues would also be explored to ensure best value for money.
9. Sponsorship
   Arthur put the following to the meeting which would be a very good fun raiser. A list of Barnsley FC fixtures, similar to a calendar with shops, pubs, garages etc offered 2ins squares around the fixtures to display their message. The squares would be on sale a £50 a square. The meeting agreed that this could be a great fund raiser. Penistone Church FC had done a similar thing and was to be contacted for further advice. Arthur agreed to contact Janet Proost. 
10. Supporter of the Year & Junior Supporter of the Year
    Barry suggested that the club should have trophies for the Supporter of the Year & Junior Supporter of the Year. These would be awarded at the AGM at the end of the season. The meeting agreed and Barry was to look at how to fund. 
11. Monthly Draw
    Barry suggested that a monthly draw be held (at the meetings) with a prize being donated by the Club. A draw was held and a package of 10 home programmes was the prize. The CP pub would give a prize for the 7th July meeting but then it was up to the Club to provide. 
12. AOB
    A number of the members were looking to produce a PRSC lapel badge. It was thought that a sum of £100 setting up fee would be needed. Arthur generously agreed to fund the project but would be reimbursed from the sales. Badges will be sold for £2.50 each.
    
    A number of ‘Oxspring Reds’ would buy any unsold coach tickets. PRSC members would always come first but if the coach(s) was not full then Oxspring would be contacted.rs.
