1. Apologies

Pat Armstrong.


2. Read & agree the minutes of the previous meeting

The minutes of the previous meeting held on the 17th July 2017 were read by the chairman. Copies were distributed and agreed.


3. Matters Arising

The suggestion was made that we hold our meetings in the Wednesday Tap in future, they serve alcohol and food so may be more appealing to others.

Owls in the Park was a huge success Soda raised £1300 with the memorabilia, majority thanks to Jon, we bid £300 on the unique poppy shirts but were outbid. If anyone has anything they want to donate please pass to Chris, old shirts, programmes etc.
Chris already has Rod Wallace’s and Frederico Venancio’s shirts that have been given to Jon.
It was agreed Chris will buy 2 shirts from the shop to get signed and framed.


4. Items Submitted for inclusion onto the agenda

There were no items for inclusion on the agenda.

5.  Any other Business


The hatched areas are still an issue, especially when children are playing on the pitch, Chris will speak to Stan.

An away fan has made a complaint saying there are no adult disabled changing facilities, there is also an issue with the disabled toilet on the North there is no need for a radar key so able bodied fans are also using them.

Chris went to the Steering group meeting there was lots of talking over and Chris feels it is not a place to ask questions about disabled facilities.
Chansiri is dedicated to the club but social media is dragging him under, and especially when his family are brought into it.

Sharon suggested a fund raising committee.

Bert asked how we can advertise Soda, suggestions were changing the name of the facebook page and the Twitter page to Sheffield Owls Disabled association, advertising on I Follow and in the programme and on the Official Sheffield Wednesday Website.

Our Xmas do will be Friday 7/12/18.
