December 2008
The clock is ticking down to the New Year. All members should note that the AGM (Annual general meeting) will take place in February at a date and time to be decided. There is also likely to be a meeting in early January to finalise arrangements for the San Marino Club Trip and all monies will have to be paid by then. Talking of money, any members with outstanding debt should note that Wednesday, 31 December marks the end of the Financial Year and all outstanding debts should be cleared by then or else their names will appear in the “Role of Dishonour” that will be published for the AGM. On behalf of the Committee, the webmaster would like to wish all the members a happy and prosperous New Year. 16 December 2008 Several members of the Bangor NISC have ties with Millisle based Amateur league Club Abbey Villa, including Graham and Mark Bailie who are joint managers. So congratulations are in order for the club winning the 2008 Umbro Junior Team of the Year Award. A feature page has been created including the article that appeared in the Daily Mirror and this can be found by following the link on the Features Page or by clicking here. 4 December 2008 Arrangements are close to being finalised for the Club Trip to San Marino. There will be at least 25 Members and Guests based in Rimini for the match being held in early February 2009.

Unfortunately, a caption got in the way. See the Hungary page. 21 November, 2008 The only good thing about the other night is that some of the members got their picture in the Telegraph. The bad thing was that some of their faces were covered by a caption. It will be scanned in and upload shortly. 18 November, 2008 Anyone traveling on the Club Coach to Windsor Park tomorrow for the Hungary match should meet at Pickie Bowling Club no later than 6:00 pm for a 6:15 departure. 31 October, 2008 The next meeting of Bangor NISC will take place on Monday, 2 November 2008 in Pickie Bowling Club @ 8:00pm.

Orders will only be accepted with full payment and no additional tickets can be ordered after Monday night. After the main meeting, anyone going on the San Marino trip in February 2009 will have a separate meeting to decide on some of the arrangements. 21 October, 2008 Yet more photos from Jim for the Slovenia and San Marino pages. And still no sightings of the flag ! 19 October, 2008 Thanks to Jim for sending another photo in for the San Marino match page. Pity there's not many more Lord Lichfields out there. 17 October 2008 Did anyone see the flag at Windsor Park last Wednesday? In fact, has anyone seen the flag lately?

September 2008
As part of the series of members being pictured with famous people, some photos have been added to the "Who's That With . . " page. Also a couple of historical photos have come to light from the away match against the Czech Republic in 2001. Michael Hughes was made captain for the night to mark his 50th. Cap, but more importantly, it was the apparently first time that Northern Ireland had a mascot from here for an away match. Anyone recognize the innocent looking mascot who's now a full member of the Bangor NISC ? 10
September 2008
A good number of Club members had an enjoyable afternoon in Belfast before the match against the Czech republic and this included meeting up with some visiting fans.

August 2008 3 August 2008 The next meeting of Bangor NISC takes place on Monday, 4 August in Pickie Bowling Club, starting at 8:00. This will be a very busy meeting as it is the first after the summer break and money for away tickets has to be paid. For the Scotland match on Wednesday 20 August, all those who have booked tickets and those travelling on the day trip MUST pay £16 per ticket. Also, anyone intending to travel to Slovakia for the away game on Saturday, 6 September should note that the match has been moved Slovan Bratislava's ground which is still within the city limits of Bratislava. The capacity of this ground is 30,000, which means that we should get all the tickets we need. As the club will have to pay for the tickets by the next Amalgamation of NI Supporters Clubs meeting on Tuesday, 12 August, a deposit of £10 per ticket must be paid on Monday night when placing an order. Please also note that for all ticket purchases, members must provide the names of the all the fans that they are purchasing tickets for and the Supports Scheme membership number, if they have one, to enable them to be credited with loyalty points. 3 August 2008 One of our members recently travelled to Cuba where he got his hands on more than a cigar. 15 June 2008 A senior member of the Club committee had a big birthday lately but we do not intend to embarass him by announcing the details. One of the main presents at his birthday bash was a Northern ireland shirt. Anyway, his secret is safe. 
15 June 2008 The Club is pleased to announce that it will have it's own coach from Troon to Glasgow for the day trip to the Scotland match at Hampden. They are also hoping to provide a coach from Donaghadee via Bangor, to Larne, and return. Full details and timings will be announced in due course. 18 May 2008 A Committee meeting is taking place on Tuesday, 20 May to finalise details of forthcoming trips and also to consider the status of those members in arrears. 18 May 2008 Some of the junior members of the club have were lucky enough to get to the Nou Camp in Barcelona and had a good time. Photos of thei trip have been added to the Look Where I've Been page. 18 May 2008 It's good to note that some members actually do read this website for it has been noticed that the wrong day was given for the next meeting - 2 June is of course a Monday! 12 May 2008 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. 12 May 2008 Away trips over the next ten months were also discussed at the meeting. Numbers are being finalised for the day trip to the Scotland match in Hampden in August. Anyone still interested should contact the club e-mail at bangor.nisc@btinternet.com to arrange to pay their deposit before final numbers are agreed with the travel company. Some members are already making plans for Slovenia in October. Contact the same club e-mail address if you want to know the plans. Deposits are also being taken for the semi-official Club Trip to San Marino next February 12 May 2008 The deadline for paying Annual Subs and the Committee will meet shortly to formally confirm that those members who did not reply to the Club Letter will no longer be considered part of Bangor NISC. 13 April, 2008 As the first Monday in May is a Bank Holiday which would not be suitable for a Club Meeting, the Bangor NISC have come up with the novel idea of holding their May meeting prior to a fund raising “Night at the Riots” scheduled for Friday, 9 May 2008. The meeting will start at 7:00 pm sharp, followed by the entertainment about 8:00 pm. All senior members will be obliged to pay a subscription of £5, but the good news is that all guests are free, so bring as many as possible. 
13 April, 2008 The Chairman of the South of England NISC, Jonny Blair has issued an open invitation for any Bangor NISC members or friends to join them in Brighton, East Sussex for a day out watching the FA Cup Final on Saturday 17th May 2008.. There they will have their annual FA Cup Final meeting. The day out will involve an official meeting in an as yet un-named bar by the beach, some FA Cup Final banter, sweepstakes, a beach BBQ and Carryout, some beach football and turning Brighton into a sea of green for the day. Full details will be revealed in the coming weeks. It is important to dress ridiculously in Northern Irish green and white for the day and random items including inflatable crocodiles will be welcomed to the meeting. Anyone interested should log onto the SOENISC forum 23 March 2008 The buses for the Georgia match will leave Pickie Bowling Club at 6:15. Members are reminded that these are free for members, but visitors must pay £5 for the return trip. 23 March 2008 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. 12 March 2008 At the Club Meeting on 10 March, Poland 2009 was selected as the Club Trip for this campaign, as it was being held on a weekend. Members also decided that the Club should also organise for as many members as possible to travel to the away match in San Marino in February 2009. The Club Committee also met to discuss some disciplinary issues and an announcement of the actions arising will be announced in due course 12 March 2008 A picture of three shady looking characters, pictured on top of a volcano in Lanzarote with a Northern Ireland fleg, has been included in the Look Where I’ve Been page. 9 March 2008 Just a reminder that the next meeting tales place this Monday, 10 March. One of the topics being discussed will be plans for a Club Trip. 23 February 2008 Members are reminded that the next meeting will take place, not on the first Monday, but on Monday, 10 March in Pickie Bowling Club. Those requiring a ticket for the Georgia should note that these are priced at £21 and payment must be made at the March meeting to reserve your tickets.

Despite the change of date, an impressive number of members turned up. There were some significant changes to the structure and running of the club including : •
New Officers in the Management team. 7 February 2008 The postponed Bangor NISC AGM will now be held on Monday, 11 February 2008 in the CD Club, Victoria Road, Bangor, starting at 8:00 pm. Members are asked to bring a contribution towards their Annual Subs. 
1 February 2008 Due to problems with the venue, it has been decided to put back the Annual General Meeting for a week. It will now be held on Monday, 11 February 2008 at a date and venue to be advised. All members will be informed of the details by text message or e-mail. 1 February 2008 Buses for the Bulgaria match will leave Pickie Bowling Club on Wednesday evening at 6:15 pm sharp. The club will be open from 5:00 pm if members wish to discuss team selections etc. 20 January 2008 Details of the February meeting have still not been finalised. In the meantime, there is not much happening. Another article on the Bailie brothers magic at Abbey Villa and a couple of NISC related articles from the Bangor FC match programmes have been added in the features section. 18 January 2008 Some members have already started booking flights for the away trips. They are asked to keep other members informed of where they are staying to try and get as many as possible staying in the same hotel. 16 January 2008 The fixtures for the 2010 World Cup Qualifying Campaign are as follows : Sat, 6th September 08 - Slovakia (a) Wed, 10th September 08 - Czech Republic (h) Sat, 11th October 08 - Slovenia (a) Wed, 15th October 08 - San Marino (h) Wed,
11th February 09 - San Marino (a) 13 January 2008 Got it completely wrong with the predictions for the next matches. Bulgaria are now the visitors on 6 February followed by Georgia in March. Also the fixtures for the 2010 qualifiers are being decided in Bratislava this week, on the Wednesday, 16 January. 7 January 2008 The fixtures for the 2010 qualifiers will be decided at a meeting in Bratislava (Slovakia) on the 16 or 18 January, depending on which paper you read. 1 January 2008 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.
