FUNDRAISING EVENTS
Last weekend the fundraising committee held two events. Friday night saw a rock night in the Starlight Room and Saturday was the Craft and Plant sale in Radford's. The total raised was just over £570.00 . This money has been placed into HUISA'S account for holding and will be held until such time the Club is on a more sound footing. A big thank you to all who helped organise the events and of course those who supported them.

HUST/HUISA Meeting June 9th
The board of HUST and the HUISA committee met tonight to discuss current events.
The group were introduced to Mark Ellis, who is to be recruiting players for the club over the coming month. He outlined the way he wanted to recruit players and the way he wanted to set up training diaries and plans. He was unable to talk about the business side as it was not his remit.
Due to the recent events at the club, HUST and HUISA discussed what options were open to us and at present, until the club's future is decided, we have little option other than to sit and wait.
HUST have invited HUISA to affiliate and work with them and HUISA will take this forward to members at the forthcoming AGM. It is felt that HUST's access to knowledge and legal expertise would be invaluable to the future of Hereford United.
HUISA will discuss the matter at their forthcoming AGM and will go with the majority of votes cast. HUISA will still have it's own identity and committee, and still carry on doing what they have been doing successfully over the last two decades.

TODAYS EVENTS
On hearing this afternoons news that it appears the football creditors have not been paid, HUISA would like to add their support to the statement from the Trust published tonight on Bulls News.
HUISA would like to clarify the notion that they were aware of the new owner 2 weeks ago. HUISA chairman, Keith Dodd, was introduced, at the club, to a gentleman called Tommy on 28th May and was told that he was one of the possible consortium, he was not told the persons surname. Keith only had it confirmed to him on 2nd June, that the man he was introduced to previously was, in fact, Tommy Agombar. This news was then made public by the Club.
It would appear that ALL supporters groups, and fans in general, have been promised a lot and given nothing. We are utterly disgusted at the treatment that the Football Club is showing to its loyal fanbase, players and staff.
After this weekends' outcome, HUISA will be looking to meet with the Trust to see where we go from here. It is imperative that we meet with Club representatives as a matter of urgency, on a UNITED front.

MEMBERS MEETING BRIEF
Please find below a brief list of points brought up at last nights meeting.
Approximately 45 members turned up for last night's meeting held at the Vice-Presidents Club. Unfortunately, as with the previous weeks HUST meeting, the Chairman was unable to spread any light on the proposed investment in the Club. Some members who arrived early, spoke to David Keyte and he stated to them that the deal was almost there and an official statement was to be issued later that night.
The Treasurer gave a brief report on the season's financial situation. The 50/50 draw had raised over £10500, donations had also increased. We had made donations to the Club for two loan players to be brought in, paid money towards the HMRC bill, assisted with first team bus hire and, in conjunction with HUST and others, donated money for youth team travel. Most recently, HUISA have paid directly to BT, the Clubs' outstanding phone bill. Most of these donations have resulted in shares being given to HUISA, which has now amounts to HUISA having a holding of 44676 shares.
HUISA has been involved with the Working Group of the Trust and will continue to work alongside them for the good of the Football Club.
Members expressed their concerns about the lack of communication coming from the Club, which was in turn, leading to much speculation. Unfortunately, HUISA are in the same position as other supporters' groups in just having to wait to see how the financial situation unfolds.
Members present were informed that, as and when, the new investors are in place, we will be urgently seeking a meeting, jointly with the Trust and London Bulls, to seek and clarify their position and how all supporters groups can work alongside the Football Club going forward.
All-in-all, with the situation at the Club at present, the meeting was as positive as it could be and one thing which was evident, is this Club has a fantastic hardcore band of supporters who purely want Hereford United to survive and progress.
We will keep members updated on events as and when we have news to report.
