    FRIENDS OF ALTRINCHAM FC

    Full details of the Friends scheme are here. Members are entered into a monthly draw in which you can win £100.

    PONTOON

    A new round of the Football Pontoon competition is being launched at Moss Lane from 1 December 2009:

    Each of the Clubs from the Premiership, Championship, League One, League Two and Blue Square Premier will be given a random number from 1 to 116. For a £10 stake, you can chose or you will be allocated one of these numbers and this will determine your team in the competition.

    The idea of the competition is for your team to accumulate exactly 21 goals by the END of any particular sequence of games. The winner will receive a £100 cash prize, the holder for the number of the second team to reach exactly 21 goals will receive £50 and the third-place prize will be £10.

    If more than one team attains 21 goals on the same day, the team that scored their 21st goal earliest in their game will be awarded 1st prize. Goals are tallied up at the end of each match and the totals adjusted accordingly. If by the end of any particular game, your team's goals total exceeds 21, then you will "go bust" and be out of the Competition. Only league goals will count towards your total.

    You are not restricted to one number, so increase your chance of winning by buying a second team!

    If you are interested in participating, please forward your name, contact number and payment along with your chosen number to the Club for the attention of Sarah Rowley. Weekly updates will be posted here on the Club's website and forum.

    Thank you for your support.

    Sarah Rowley.

    GOAL SPONSORSHIP

    TASC's Steve Foster writes,

    TASC invite all supporters to join the goal sponsorship scheme. We are happy to have any arrangement, whether to sponsor for every goal the team score, every clean sheet the team have, every goal an individual player scores, or even every penalty that Stuart Coburn (or any other keeper!) makes.

    As previously, we will be updating you during the season of how much your sponsorship has cost you and we propose that the money should, as before be paid in a couple of instalments.

    As last season, the names of the goal sponsors and the amount that they have sponsored will be published in the programme, and, at the end of the season, a framed photograph of an image of your choice will be sent out to you.

    For sponsors of last season, Jon Stack informs me that he will have the framed photos ready to send out, or collect shortly. If anyone is interested in renewing their sponsorship for this season. Please send me an e-mail and I will add you to the list.

    Thanks, Steve.

    RECYCLE YOUR PHONE FOR ALTY

    Steve Foster writes:

    For the new season, TASC are relaunching the mobile phone recycling scheme. Our target for this year is to raise the same amount as last year. We raised over £804.87 from 131 phones last year. As last year, please hand your old mobiles in to any member of the TASC committee, or to the boxes in the bar or shop, or to the club's offices during normal office hours on any working day.

    MY SQUARE

    Gareth Thomas of TASC writes "Great news, the 'My Square' pitch sponsorship scheme will be running again for the 2009/10 season. We will be taking sponsors for the squares on a first come first served basis starting at the Mansfield game on October 10th 2009. This is a fantastic fundraiser for the club and a fantastic way to own your own little part of Moss Lane and have your name in the matchday programme.

    This year we will have a pitch map on a whiteboard in the club shop before games and in the Noel White Suite afterwards so you can see your name 'up in lights' as soon as you join.

    For full details, visit the My Square page.
