Latest News From The GIHSC Committee
 

The Supporters Club Committee is happy to keep Flames Supporters informed regarding matters that have been raised and discussed at their monthly meetings.
 

The Committee last met on Monday 10^th February.  Another meeting was due to be held on 16^th March 2020, but with news that the remaining fixtures have been cancelled still very new, it was decided that this meeting should be postponed until the Committee are able to make decisions on various issues.  These and the matters discussed in February are detailed below:
 

Finance – Successful fundraising allowed for a cheque presentation for £7,000 to be made on 2^nd February.  Another presentation was due to be made in March.  This will be held back until the Committee can identify a suitable event where the presentation can be made.
 

Social – The quiz night in January was a great success both in terms of feedback from attendees and profitability as the large numbers attending resulted in £497 being raised for the Flames.
 

Lotteries – 50-50 draws are averaging around £400 and 200 club draws are up to date.  There was to be a £1000 200-club draw at a match at the end of the season.  This will still take place in due course when an appropriate occasion to hold the draw is identified.
 

Sponsorship Grid – The sponsor grid has attracted 12 people who are eligible for the shirt draw for the second half of the season.  This will go ahead and the winner will be sent their jersey by post.
 

Away Travel – The coaches to Manchester had not run in February as only 9 supporters had registered to travel and no further coaches were run before the cancellation of fixtures.
 

Spectrum / Spectator Comfort – No new issues were identified in February, and a couple of previous suggestions continue to be discussed with the Spectrum management team.
 

Flames / Hockey – The club thanked the committee in February for the latest cheque presentation and for the quiz night. 
 

In response to a question, it was noted that the reduction in imports may cause competition for British players across the league which could impact on salaries, but that the team would always strive to put the best team on the ice within their available budgets.
 

The year-end awards were due to be held on 30^th March.  The club is currently reviewing this in the light of the fixture cancellations and a further announcement will follow.  The Player of the Year vote for supporters will progress as advertised, so that awards can be made in due course.
 

The Pride game was a success and the shirt and socks sales to supporter’s all went smoothly.
 

Raffle – The charity raffle for former Flame Tom Duggan on Feb 16^th took place and Tom and his family have passed on their thanks to all Flames fans for their generous support.

If any supporters club member would like to volunteer for a role that will benefit the club or the team, they are welcome to contact the Chairman, Phil Boyle (GIHSC.Chairman@gmail.com).
