Transport
A serious reminder for people to please ensure that all their rubbish is removed from the bus (sweet papers, beer cans, newspapers etc)…..others do not want to have to pick up and clean after you – as has happened on recent trips!!

Just six members attended the meeting at The Green Man, Pilton on 7 August 2014.

It was reported that there were nearly 50 members signed up this year. We have lost a few as some have joined the newly formed Cornwall Club. If anyone knows of people that would like to join point them to the website (details below) where they can download a membership application.

Matches
There are 8 booked for the QPR game. Transport is a bit “up in the air” at the moment as the availability of a 9 seater coach is in doubt. Two cars will probably go if this is not available. 1.30 pm KO so leaving Barnstaple Square at 7a.m. Cost £65.

9 are going to the game v WBA in September. Leaving Barnstaple Square at 7.30 am. £60.

Future possible games
Southampton – currently scheduled for 4 October but likely to be moved to 5 October if Spurs qualify for Europa League. The same may well happen to many of the other games scheduled for a Saturday.

Urgent if you want to book. Giles needs to know by Sunday night (10th). £65.
Aston Villa away – Sunday 2 November. Let Giles know if you are interested asap but by 30/09 at latest.
Swansea away – 13 December. Giles needs to know by mid November at latest.
It is by no means certain that coaches will run to all these games – depends on interest. However if you would like to express an interest let Giles know by:-
Newcastle          – 20 August
Everton              –   1 October

Crystal Palace    –  8 October
Burnley               – 15 October
Sunderland        – 5 November

Often there is room on the Somerset Spurs coach that departs from Bridgwater if transport is not leaving from here.

There is a small range of North Devon Spurs Supporters Club merchandise available – namely polo shirts – at around £12. Let us know if you would like more details or to place an order.

The Fantasy Football league is up and running – too close to call at the moment as to who is in the lead!!

There is the possibility of an “evening with Graham Roberts and Micky Hazard”. Various possible venues were suggested but if anyone has any further suggestions or recommendations these would be appreciated.

Next meeting Thursday 6 November at 8 pm at The Green Man, Pilton, Barnstaple.
