Trust Members vote to fund SUFC's Tour to Scotland
The results of the Poll sent to members last week regarding the partial funding of the Scottish Tour are now in and approximately 67% of those who responded (307) were in favour.
We have informed the club that we are prepared to pay 50% of the costs to a maximum of 10K as per the vote.
Precise details of the tour are expected to be announced by the club today and details regarding our involvement will follow later.
A detailed breakdown of how the votes were cast will be sent to all members in our next Newsletter due out next week.
We'd like to thank all those that did respond and look forward to maybe seeing some of you in Scotland.
