We are screening a short but powerful film, called the Case for Israel, and Bangor man Colin Nevin will talk about his experience of living and working in Israel for over 10 years. All are welcome. There is no charge for admission. On a seperate matter, NI Friends of Israel are about to launch our auction of signed football shirts in aid of football schemes bringing communities together both in Israel and Northern Ireland. The signed shirts include NI and Israel international squads, Everton, Leeds U, Glasgow Rangers and Celtic, signed Arsenal penant, Man U (Ryan Giggs) and Irish and Israeli premier league sides. I'll let you know the details as soon as the auction is launched and your help in publicising it would be very much welcomed."

If anyone has any photos from before the match or the Poland trip, please e-mail them in and I'll get them uploaded. 
Next up Prague on 14 October where we are likely to win but where the dream will finally die. At least there are plenty of nice sights there ! 7 September, 2009 A few more pictures of Bangor NISC fans that appeared in the media can be found on the Poland away page. 6 September, 2009 A good result and no trouble made it a good weekend for the Bangor NISC Club Trip to Poland. Some of them managed to got their photos in the paper, click here to view.

One of the members had a acccident in the hotel but he's OK now. Apparently, the food and the drink is fine and there have been no reports of trouble.  Here’s wishing them a good time and hoping that they bring back 3 points 4 September, 2009 The Club has received an invitation for members to participate in a sponsor walk for Children’s Cancer charity
These are the sort of ventures the members should be supporting. For more details, click here 4 September, 2009 Just before the Israel friendly match on 12 August 2009, Clandeboye Park in Bangor was the venue for a fans match between a team of random Northern Ireland supporters and the Friends of Israel. The pictures below are reproduced from the local Spectator Newspaper.  While a member of the Bangor NISC was officiating at the match, it is unclear if any members were actually playing, although some were spotted jumping aimlessly in the air.  19 August,2009 The next meeting has been brought forward to Monday, 31 August 2009 to discuss final details for the Poland club trip. It should also be noted that tickets for this match are priced at £30 and all those attending must pay this money at the above meeting. 11 July, 2009 Those members travelling to the Poland will be pleased to know that all the arrangements are falling into place after all the hassle caused by the change in venue.  The party will leave the Gold Coast by coach in the (very) early hours of Friday, 4 September, to travel to Dublin for the morning flight to Krakow in Poland. A coach will be on hand to transport the group to our hotel on the outskirts of Katowice, with expected arrival just before 2:00 pm. A coach will depart from the Hotel about 5:30 pm for the short journey to the stadium and also provide a transfer back to the hotel after the match. The following morning, the coach will leave for the airport at 9:00 am and if all goes well, the party will arrive back in Dublin just after 2:00 pm which means they should be back on the Gold Coast just before teatime on the Sunday. 
On the Saturday, a guided tour to Auschwitz concentration camp museum has been organised for those interested. A coach will pick up those attending at 9:00 am for the 1 hour transfer and there will be a 3½ hour guided tour before a return to base for about 2:30. There will be an additional charge of about £20 - £25 for the Auschwitz trip and all those going to Poland should let Peter know on the 3 August meeting if they intend to go to Auschwitz or not as any spare spaces could be offered to other fans travelling. 8 July, 2009

evening, 15 July 2009, sees the battle of the Bangor (Gold
Coast) NISC members down in Millisle when the local team
Abbey Villa play Bangor FC. The recent successes of Abbey
Villa have been chronicled in other parts of this website
and the Amateur League club can count many members of
Bangor NISC amongst their Committee (including Chairman
Gary Pitman), Team Management (including joint Managers
Mark and Graham Bailie), Players, Supporters, Sponsors
and Water Carriers. 15 June, 2009 Most of the guys going on the Club Trip to Poland have managed to get their flights transferred from Berlin to Krakow. A Hotel is being sorted in the Katowice / Chorzow area so things are falling into place. No thanks to the Polish authorities for changing the venue of the match at such a late stage. 8 June, 2009 Thanks to Skin, the new Bangor NISC flag made it’s first appearance on foreign soil and here we have proof. Thanks to Ballymena fan Neil, we have a photo with the flag flying in all it’s glory. 
23 May, 2009 Bangor NISC are pleased to report that the new flag has arrived to replace the original one, which was lost or stolen. 
26 April, 2009 Thanks to Jim Spratt for sending in some crowd photos which include some familiar faces, if you look closely. Hopefully more will come to light to expand the new Faces in the Crowd page. 9 April, 2009 Club member, Kevin Storey, is pictured receiving the 42" platinum television that he won in the club ballot from Glenn Wallace.

30 March, 2009 An obituary for George Best that was printed in the Economist, which gave a good overview of his life, has been included in the George Best page. 25 March, 2009 For the Poland match on Saturday, 28 March, a coach will leave Pickie Bowling Club at 3:30 pm and for the Slovenia match on Wednesday, 1 April, the coach will leave at 6:15 pm. In both cases, 2 coaches will return immediately after the match to make enough room for those who go up to Belfast early. 19 March, 2009 Due to problems with the previous version, a new Guest Book has been introduced. Don't know the proper jargon, but this new Book is integrated into the Bangor NISC website and should be easier to use. The design is still being tinkered with and hopefully it will provide a better service than the previous version. Next in line is figuring out how to get a new forum up & running and maybe a chat room ! 18 March, 2009 The Club Trip to Poland has reached it's maximum of 50 members and guests and all flights have been booked. The party will be flying to Berlin Schönefeld on Friday, 4 September and returning on the Sunday.
