STAGECOACH SERVICE
In conjunction with Stagecoach, we have arranged for a bus service to take supporters away from Glanford Park. This experimental scheme will run for the first four home Saturday League games of the season. The cost is £2 for adults and £1 for children. The route goes from Glanford Park, at 17:05 and takes in Westcliffe, Riddings, Bottesford, Ashby, Old Brumby and into town.
We are urging fans to use this service as it will help avoid congestion around Glanford Park, as well as helping the environment.

COMMITTEE CHANGES
Since the AGM we have had the following changes to the Committee.
Ann Root has now left the committee, although she continues to work hard on our behalf. Ann has served SUOSC for three years and we would like to thank her for all her hard work over that time.
Joining the Committee are Adrian Bromby, Arthur Pugsley and John Dobbs.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY
We would like to wish the following SUOSC members a very happy birthday:
Bryan Thomas 52, Helen Blackwell 34, Naomi Cave 16, Clive Skelton 56
