Last Friday Saw the May meeting followed by an entertaining Nite at the Riots, run by Jim Rainey. A good turnout had a great time, rounded off by a dodgy Karaoke session. The success certainly helped towards the Club’s Fund Raising efforts. Many thanks also to Kevin Storey and Supreme Foods for the supper.

We have just been informed that Block Bookings for the 2010 World Cup campaign will be £160 for Kop / North Stand Upper. Family Enclosure will be £110, however, there is a chance that the IFA will charge adults with Family Enclosure tickets the full £160.
Payment at the moment seems to be late April 2008. However, the Amalgamation of Northern Ireland Supporters Club is trying to get it extended until the end of June. The IFA for some reason seem to want the full payment in one go which the Amalgamation are against.

Happy New Year from the Bangor NISC. Unfortunately, Northern Ireland did not make it to the finals of the European championships this year, so we’ll just pick ourselves up, dust ourselves down and start all over again.
The draw for the 2010 World Cup Qualifiers means that all the away matches are within relatively easy reach, which gives us an excuse for at least one other Club Trip. The actual fixtures will be decided some time this month so things should be clearer by the time the Club AGM come around in February.
If any members have any suggestions as to how they would like to see the Club or the website develop, please send us an e-mail with your thoughts.
