LISA are,looking to sign up more members to enable the club to sign up more of the young lads in the reserve team onto full time contracts so they can join and train with the rest of the squad we have full time The amount we raise the board will match and then players can be signed. More members = more full time players So if your not a member join www.leigh-isa.org.uk

What was it as well about giving LISA members a shortlist of these young players and letting members decide which to choose? That'll be a good LISA meeting if we could get Rowley & the players available there to say why we should pick them.

I was rambling a bit when I explained it last night but in a nutshell the proposal to LISA which was accepted by the committee and members was as follows:

For the usual annual investment LISA as normal will fund the contract of a player of choice which hopefully will be the next new signing that we secure.

In addition to this and as an incentive to gain more members and raise more funds for every 6k over and above the usual annual figure LISA can raise the board will match the funding with 6k of our own and promote an already part time contracted U20s player of LISA choice to the FT first team environment and squad. Paul and Derek will put forward the list of candidates who they would like to bring in to the first team FT squad and in confidence give the reasons why so LISA members subject to the funds being raised can play a vital role in the promotion and further development of the clubs young players in addition to what they already do.

It was great to see a full room last night and there seemed to be a real interest in helping Lynda and the committee really move things forward at pace with many new faces taking forms away and some new members even signing up on the night. Talking to a few members after the meeting there seemed a real willingness to help and get involved in fund raising events and I have a good feeling that the next 12 months will really see LISA kick on to even greater things.

For those that aren't aware every single penny of LISA money goes directly to the playing budget and to a playing contract so no better way for anyone wishing to do that little bit extra to make a direct impact in the on field success of the club they love.

Thanks to Lynda, Keith, Peter and Gina for welcoming us and thanks to all who attended for making it an enjoyable evening.

Anyone readying this please join LISA and get behind the guys as "We are all in this together" remember and unlike in the past when the money has saved the club LISA money can now develop the club and play a part I'm taking it to the next level.

Thanks

Andy Mazey

You did great there Andy
Couldn't get it into words what I wanted to explain
Thanks for attending last night pass my thanks to all the others as well .
LISA members also get opportunity to meet Paul directors and players and Speak to them. So well worth being a member , you also get discount on awAy travel too

...and a suggestion to existing members would be that if you can afford it think about upping your monthly contribution by a fiver.

... and a suggestion (again) that LISA members don't get a discount on away travel. They are paying £5 a month membership and getting £2 back - why???

LISA discounts should be at shops etc. not from LISA money. The system can also be easily abused when booking the coach so LISA are in fact LOSING an amount of money on away trips.
We also have a whip round for the driver even on short journeys - this should go to LISA not a guy who is getting paid for doing his job by his employers. Just seams pointless begging for money then letting it slip through our fingers at the same time






(It would also make it easier for Gill to just have one price).

Thanks Derek , yes that's also an option and you would be surprised how many pay more and how many have more then one member in an household.
So anyone upping their contribution will count as well in our mission.

Great initiative. I personally can't afford anything else right now but I'm just pleased these kinds of things are going on. Well done to all involved.

Lisa membership has been £5.00 a monthe since its inception.
Why not increase it by £1 a month to £6.00?( a 20% increase)

Spot on Ivan. I have said before no LISA member WANTS or joins LISA just to get £1 back off coach travel to away games. This reduction is just daft.

OR make LISA travel LISA members only, win win then.

It makes no difference except we make more money as I price the coach on the member price so non members paying full price mean s we make money for Lisa if coach is full every week . If not full it makes up r
The diffence
It's really to try and get people to join ...........

I hope this explained it and it was £2 I've reduced it to a £ 1 now ........

Are we not trying to raise money for LISA?
Cost of coach divided by 45. Add £1 and round up/down = price for all.
I don't know how many members go on the coach but I bet it's less than 50%. Who checks if 'members' are really members?
If we take 100 and 50 are members and 25 say they are even though they aren't you make £25.
Do as I suggest and you would make £100

and I bet LISA members would agree (ask them).
And cut out the crazy idea of a driver collection. We hire the coach so we state where we want drop offs - not the driver because we haven't had a collection. Have a collection for LISA instead - that's another £30+ as well as the raffle.
£130 x 10 trips is £1300.

1 sometime s we don't fill up exactly the seats so price has to reflect that
2 Gilll has been given a members list a couple of week ago so that should stop the theory of people cheating and I always look at who paid LISA prices anyway
3 we are trying to get more using the coaches and for fans who cant drive its their way of getting to games so unfair to make it LISA only
4 re tip , I agree here a certain person started this And now driver expects it.
I asked the owner and she said the tip is up to people and tnot always given however if we say no tip
the driver can say he's dropping off at pick up points only, so maybe we should put a dish on dashboard and people choose whether or not to tip , that's my take on it . So if driver stops for you nearer you can tip him etc . I left an instruction last time we went to Rochdale for no collection and we didn't on my coach but the other coach collected as the driver indicated he wouldn't be dropping off only at where he picked up !!!! I was not happy !

Anyway back on topic
We are trying to sign up new members and I've worked it out we need 100 to get one player
