The Supporters Trust is delighted to be able to assist the ICT Community Development Trust as it prepares for a busy festive period. We have arranged for Bar 94 to be a drop off point for donations for their Festive Hampers before Saturday's game against Alloa Athletic. The bar is open from 12 noon and donations can be dropped off from then until 2.30 pm. Items that will be very helpful are long life foods, festive treats and warm clothing. If anyone wishes to make a financial donation, that will be very welcome too. Full details are available here: https://www.ictsupporterstrust.org/post/ict-community-trust-festive-activities We invite everyone attending Saturday's match to bring along donations that will enable the Community Development Trust to maximise the number of vulnerable and elderly fans who will be able to benefit from their valuable activities in the lead up to Christmas.

We have had tremendous interest in the unique signed framed print so kindly donated by Trust member Stewart Coghill. We hope to raise as much money as possible to help the club cover its running costs. Thank you to everyone who has entered so far.

A very big thank you to everyone who came along to the fundraiser in Bar 94 on Saturday. It was great to see the bar so busy before and after the game. There was a really good atmosphere. It was brilliant that Scott Kellacher, Billy Mckay and the matchday squad spent so much time in the bar after the game, chatting to fans and posing for photographs, with Paul Allan being presented with the Player of the Match Award. Before the match, the Auction, Silent Auction, Raffle and Free Prize Draw (thank you Dog Falls!) attracted a lot of interest. We also launched our Prize Draw for a unique signed print designed by Stewart Coghill, and full details of that are in a dedicated thread here: https://caleythistleonline.com/topic/36498-ict30-a-unique-not-to-be-missed-opportunity/ Thank you once again to everyone who came along. See you on the 16th!

If you are going to the game today, please come early to Bar 94 where the fundraiser event is taking place. The bar is open from 1200, with regular free prize draws as well as the auction, a silent auction and a raffle. As well as their draught products, we have a variety of canned beers from Dog Falls (including a 0.5% lager for anyone driving). If you cannot make the match, why not assist the club by buying a match ticket anyway or contributing to the crowd funder. All proceeds from today go to helping to cover the club's running costs. More details here: https://www.ictsupporterstrust.org/post/ictst-back-the-team-and-fundraising-statement

The Supporters Trust is holding a Fundraiser on Saturday before and after the Kelty game in Bar 94, with all proceeds going to assist in covering the club's running costs. We are also encouraging all fans to come to the game and do their bit to help the management team and players start to recover the points deduction. Full details of events on the day are in this announcement on our website: https://www.ictsupporterstrust.org/post/ictst-back-the-team-and-fundraising-statement Highlights include an auction for Mark Ridgers' signed cup final gloves, that he has kindly donated to assist the club. A raffle will take place, along with a free prize draws. Saturday marks the official launch of our partnership with Dog Falls, the Inverness-based brewery, who are also supporting the raffle. We are very grateful to Dog Falls. Their products were very well received at the soft launch two weeks ago, so come along and try them yourselves on Saturday! The bar opens at 1200, so please come down early. After the match, the bar will again be open and, as well as the Player of the Match presentation, the full first team will be joining us, so please join us then too. If you cannot attend on Saturday, why not show your support to the club, either by buying a match ticket or donating to the crowd funder. Details are in the release above. We hope you can join us on Saturday, and please spread the word.

We have sent the e-mail copied below to our members this morning, and we would welcome further volunteers, particularly for the areas highlighted in the e-mail. If you are willing and able to assist, or know someone who can, please contact us at [email protected]. Together we can help the club through these difficult times. Content of e-mail: First of all I would like to thank you for responding to our request for volunteers. Many of you have already been called upon and we are so very grateful. Bar 94 - We could not have got this open without many volunteers and this is still a work in progress. If you haven't managed to check it out yet then please pop in for a pre or post match pint. To those of you who came along to help Dale (groundsman) before a recent game, he couldn't speak highly enough of you and was very appreciative of your time and effort. This is something likely to be repeated throughout the season. Others I know are still working away behind the scenes helping in different ways. Now more than ever before we need help in all areas and this may include matchdays. Whether it's helping in the bar, taking a turn in one of the Blue High Vis jackets assisting the support, working with Dale, picking up a paint brush or anything else that may come up. We are hoping to run another 'permission to sell alcohol' course shortly so if you have any experience or just fancy learning a new skill then please let us know. At the meeting last week we were asked to put a call out to anyone with security experience, especially if you happen to have an SIA badge. (If you don't know what this is then you won't have it lol).

The Trust has issued this statement which is being e-mailed to members: https://www.ictsupporterstrust.org/post/trust-statement-on-administration In an update to the notes of the Fans' Meeting we issued yesterday, the Press Conference by the Administrator is now planned for 1200 tomorrow. If you are not already a member of the Trust, joining is easy (and only £5, or £1 for Under 16s): https://www.ictsupporterstrust.org/join-us

A summary of Saturday's meeting is now available on the Trust website and has been e-mailed to members. You can read it here: https://www.ictsupporterstrust.org/post/ictst-summary-of-meeting-191024 It will hopefully be beneficial to those who were unable to attend. We would again like to record our sincere thanks to Scott Young and Charlie Christie for attending, updating those present and answering questions. We would also thank everyone who attended. It is good to see the positive feedback about Bar 94, and we must recognise all the hard work put in by our volunteers which has made this possible, both in devoting time and skills, and by working behind the bar itself.

A big thank you to everyone who came along to the Fans' Meeting earlier in Bar 94. We took notes of the key issues, and will publish a summary of the meeting on our website in a few days, and will share a link to it here. We are grateful to Charlie Christie and Scott Young for joining us for the majority of the meeting, and for their openness in both their comments and their responses to questions. To highlight one of the key issues, as has been mentioned in the Administration Thread Scott Young confirmed that the formal process for entering administration has started. Unless a formal offer is received before the administration papers are accepted by the Court (expected to be around 1000 on Monday) then the Administrator will be brought in, triggering the 15 point penalty. A Press Conference is likely to be held by the Administrator on Wednesday. Today, we also welcomed Inverness-based brewery Dog Falls to Bar 94. The bar is now selling their draught products, Konventional Wisdom Lager and Inverness Black Nitro Stout. Both were very well received, and the partnership with Dog Falls will be formally launched at the next home game on 2 November. Bar 94 also opened after the match, and it was great to see so many people using it then, with Danny Devine being presented with the Dog Falls Player of the Match Award. As mentioned above, we will publish a summary of the meeting her in a few days, and add a link here, but our sincere thanks to everyone who took the time to attend the meeting today.

To highlight one part of tomorrow's matchday information, Bar 94 will be open after tomorrow's game until 6 pm, thanks to some of our volunteers. During this time, a presentation will be made to the Man of the Match. We hope that several players will pop in, and that many fans will take advantage of the bar remaining open. If it proves popular, we will look to make it a permanent feature.

When you make your plans for Saturday, remember that the Fans' Meeting is taking place at 1200 in Bar 94. As mentioned in our earlier post, Scott Young, the Interim Chairman and Supporters Liaison Officer, will be attending at least part of the meeting. We are pleased to confirm that Charlie Christie, Interim CEO, also hopes to attend part of the meeting. The format will be similar to the meetings last season, although the events that continue to evolve this week will inevitably have a significant bearing on the topics that will be discussed. The meeting is open to all fans, and provides an opportunity to discuss the club's situation with the Interim Chairman / SLO and with members of the Supporters Trust Board. Full details are in the image below or on our website: https://www.ictsupporterstrust.org/post/ictfc-fans-open-meeting-191024 If you are not already a member of the Trust, joining is easy (and only £5 or £1 for Under 16s): https://www.ictsupporterstrust.org/join-us We hope to see many of you at the meeting on Saturday. If you have not seen the improvements our volunteers have carried out at the bar, it is also an ideal opportunity to do so.

The Supporters Trust is holding a Fans' Meeting at 1200 on Saturday 19 October in Bar 94. All fans are welcome, and full details are available in the image below or on our website: https://www.ictsupporterstrust.org/post/ictfc-fans-open-meeting-191024 George Moodie from the Trust participated in the Scottish Football Podcast yesterday with Jonathan Sutherland and Craig Telfer.

We have received additional questions which have been sent on to the SLO. The link in the post has been updated to include these additional questions.

Thank you to everyone who took time to submit advance questions for the meeting on Monday night. These have been forwarded to the club in the hopes that at least some of them might be able to be answered in advance. They have been added to our website and this will be updated with answers as we receive them. https://www.ictsupporterstrust.org/post/supporters-questions Regarding the meeting I do know that the club are actively working to remove some of the new accounts to make more tickets available for our own supprt who do actually want to attend the meeting. Now let's see if we can score some goals and take 3 points up the road tonight

To answer of couple of points in threads relating to Monday’s meeting, several of the Trust Board members will be at the meeting. We have also contacted the club about fans of another club possibly getting tickets. The SLO has confirmed that the rogue tickets can be identified and made available again.

The questions will be shared before the meeting, and hopefully there will be answers provided before the meeting, but the Trust cannot control that. We will share them when we have them. The SLO is the correct recipient of the questions, and it is for him to gather the necessary information for the responses. With recent changes to the Board, it is likely that the SLO (as current Vice Chair) will be chairing the meeting on Monday. The Board has called the meeting and has not indicated what role, if any, Alan Savage will play in it or in responding to questions. Sorry we do not have all the answers to your points, but hopefully by picking up on the suggestion that we collate questions we are providing a mechanism where fans’ issues can be raised. Thanks to those who have sent in questions so far. Please keep them coming to: [email protected].
