12 members were in attendance, with appologies from Dawn, Lauren & Chris Stewart, Peter Campbell & Neil Farmer.

Team Sponsorship for next Year
Craig McEwen from the Glenrothes strollers, a local football team born in 1996 (U-14) attended the meeting looking for sponsorship. Although they are under Strollers name, they have to provide all their own equipment, strips & facilities. After a vote, with the result being 11 in favour, 1 against, it was agreed that we would spsonsor the team. A figure of £500 is to be donated to the team, at a future date. Greg Hall is going to contact John Holt at Dundee to see if there is any chance of DFC hooking up with the Strollers as a feeder club. There is also the possibility to encorporate functions with the our supporters club and the young team.

Our thoughts are with both the family’s, at this sad time.


New positions of office (next season)

We have 3 additional positions of office for next season, on top of the existing 3. Volunteers have put there names forward for these positions. After the statement that was issued earlier in the season, by myself, I have decided to stay on in the roll of Secretary, mainly due to the guys who are willing to help out in the new positions. This will take a lot of the work of my shoulders, to which I am grateful.
