Director John Tempest is looking after the 500 club, and says; "Many thanks to the 116 people who have opted to purchase a 1 year extension to their 500 Club memberships and also a huge thanks to the 25 who have purchased the new standing 5 Year memberships.

"There are still twenty five 5 year standing membership which are priced at £599 for concessions and £999 for Adults.

"We have also received many donations large and small which are going towards the funding of the development work at Blackwell Meadows. A particular thanks to a collection at a funeral which were the wishes of a long standing departed fan. Also a thanks to James in Dumfries a life- long fan who donated to the club.

"Further updates to come but in the meantime if you are thinking of extending your memberships or donating I look forward to hearing from you."
