WHAT IS THE SUPPORTERS' CLUB?

Mission Statement

“To support and promote Chelmsford City Football Club and to serve our members’ interests.”

What Are We?

The C.C.S.C. is a non-profit-making, membership-based organisation that has several roles, namely:

• to raise funds for Chelmsford City Football Club;

• to raise awareness of the Football Club in the local community;

• to provide a ‘mouthpiece’ for the supporters of the Football Club;

• to provide a ‘line of communication’ between the supporters and the Football Club.

Who Are We?

The C.C.S.C. is run by a Committee, the members of which are elected on an annual basis by the Membership. The Committee is currently made up of the following members:

Main Committee

• Paul Danskin – Chairman (Caretaker) & Merchandising Officer;

• Sharon Chantry – Vice-Chairperson & Club Shop Manager;

• David Everard - Secretary and Membership Officer;

• John Crumley - Treasurer and Away Travel Club Officer;

• Cheryl Alliston – Junior Supporters Club Officer.

What Do We Do?

Fund-Raising

The C.C.S.C. raises funds for the Football Club in numerous ways, for example:

• Membership Fees;

• Club Shop;

• Annual Race Night;

• Annual Supporters’ Cricket Match and Fun Day;

• Player of the Year Disco;

• Grand Easter Raffle;

• Sponsor-a-Goal;

• Ad-hoc Sponsorship Events;

• Weekly Pub Quiz;

• Donations;

• Top Draw (Local Lottery Scheme).

Community

The Community Officer has an annual budget of £500 which is utilised to generate positive publicity about Chelmsford City’s role in the community and to support charitable causes in the Borough of Chelmsford. For example, the Club’s return to Chelmsford will see the C.C.S.C. raise its profile in schools local to the Melbourne area by offering free City merchandising and matchday tickets to youngsters. A sponsored local charity will also be selected each year, after consideration by the Committee and the members.

One Voice

The C.C.S.C. is here for the supporters. If any member has an issue with the Football Club, we take it up on their behalf. We have a direct line into the Football Club and we ensure that our members’ concerns are heard.
