 MFCSC AGM & FIRST MEETING

The AGM was held on Friday 26th June at Links Park and a new committee has been nominated to help take the club forward for the next few years. There are a few familiar faces, but a number of new faces are on board and we are delighted to have an injection of fresh ideas/approaches. We are still keen to hear from any other interested parties who may be interested in helping out. If you feel you would like to get involved, please contact Hugh Thomson (Chairman) on shuggthomson@tiscali.co.uk or 07832292709. The first committee meeting will be held at 12 noon on Sat July 10th at Links Park, ahead of the Raith Rovers pre season friendly. Anyone interested in helping out are encouraged to come along.

MFCSC BUSES TO PETERHEAD AND DUNDEE

With the new season racing up, we are pleased to confirm that we have booked buses to the Challenge Cup and CIS Cup matches in Peterhead and Dundee respectively. The bus to Balmoor leaves Montrose at 10am (to be confirmed) taking around 2 hours up to Peterhead (allowing for traffic and pickups on route). The Dundee bus will leave Montrose on 31st at 11am (to be confirmed) and shouldnt take much longer than an hour. It would be great to try and replicate the noisy Dyna-Mo army which travelled to Easter Road last year. If you would like to attend either of these matches please call Stuart Maxwell on 07834370448 or email stu_maxwell@hotmail.com to confirm your place. You will also be able to book a place on the list at the upcoming preseason games at the Club Shop.

MEET THE MANAGER

Details are currently being finalised with regards to a Pre-Season Meet the Manager session with Steven Tweed and new assistant Ray Farningham. The session will enable fans to put Steven and Ray on the spot with any questions, queries or opinions on the upcoming season and future plans in an informal environment with bar facilities and a light snack. Confirmed date and time (21st July at 7pm) to be advised in the very near future.

FREE SEASON TICKETS FOR SCHOOL CHILDREN AT LINKS PARK

These tickets, which will be available shortly, will only be available through the schools themselves.

Adult tickets are £155.00 with OAPS priced at £90.00 with members of the Gable Endies Club paying £260.00 and concessions paying £170.00. An online payment system is also very near to going live.

Midfielder Sean Anderson has been released by the club after only 6 months. Whether Steven Tweed plans to bring in a replacement is yet to be seen.

Cost will be £10 and the bus leaves Montrose at 10.30am.

I believe the term is GAME ON!
