Twenty years ago today, March 1st 2002, saw the launch of BOLSA. A look back.
THE newly appointed committee would like to announce the formation of BOLSA – Bulls On-Line Supporters Association.
BOLSA is an independent non-political organisation
which intends to serve the needs of both exiled Hereford United FC
supporters, and local based supporters who wish to support the Club by
fund-raising and heightening the local and national awareness of the
current situation of Hereford United FC.
Following recent elections based at the Official Hereford United FC forum, the following appointments have been made:
Chairman: Jon Wells
Vice Chairman: Graham Johnson
Treasurer: Darren Coates
Secretary: John Perkins
Press and PR: Martin Watson
One of the first aims of BOLSA is to compile a
database of the practical skills of the supporters that the Club can
call upon from time to time to help reduce the operating costs
associated with the day to day running of the Club. Longer term, BOLSA
will be co-ordinating a number of fund raising initiatives based on
ideas from Hereford United fans.
Although BOLSA was formed on the internet, membership
of BOLSA is not exclusively for those with internet access. For those
without internet access, BOLSA intends to publish monthly summaries of
events and discussions through ‘Billy News’ – the fanzine from Hereford
United’s mascot Billy The Bull. In addition, BOLSA has a Hereford City
Centre location for mail and ideas, and our Committee members are always
available at matches both Home and Away to discuss ideas.
Membership of BOLSA if free, however we suggest a
small donation of £5 towards BOLSA funds upon joining. Membership forms
are available through E-mail at bolsa_2002@hotmail.com, from MWPC at 72
Commercial Road, Hereford, or by contacting any of the committee
members. Membership forms will be distributed at the home match with
Telford on 5th March.
The election administrator would like to thank
everyone that voted in the formation of the new forum association. The
results of the two remaining positions on the committee will be
announced soon.
