Supporters Club - Race Night

[lizi]

To raise funds to continue subsidising buses to away games, the ICT Supporters Club have organised a Race Night in the Caley Thistle Social Club, Greig Street, Inverness, on Friday 25th February at 7.30pm. Entry is ?3 per person (a prize to the person buying a numbered ticket on entry to the event) with eight races to follow, cheer, bet on, whatever. Buffet included in entry price. Lots of good raffle prizes. Please encourage fellow fans to attend - all welcome.

Is this subsidising the team bus or the supporters bus?

If the team bus, then good on the supporters club for doing their bit to help the club. If it's the supporters bus then surely they should be charging more and not expecting other people to pay for them to travel to games?

It's for the supporters bus. Do you know how much it is to hire a 52 seater on a Saturday? Something in the region of ?450. The SC only charge something like a tenner a head so fundraising events like this subsidise the cost of the hiring of a bus. I don't really think supporters need to part with even more cash than they already do supporting the club what with ticket prices and food/drink etc.

The club can perferctly afford to subsidise the team bus without the help of the supporters.

If only the cost of the bus was in the region of ?450! I wish. Cost is well over ?500 and likely to rise next season due to the ever increasing cost of fuel. Many times, especially when other buses are run in direct competition to the Supporters Club bus, (ie to the "more attractive" games), the numbers are insufficient to cover the cost, hence the need to fundraise to keep the cost per head to a minimum.

Just to let you all know, the Race Night was a big success, despite the competition of a Scotland rugby game being held at the Stadium at the same time, which may have attracted some away from the Social Club.

Special thanks go to the Race Sponsors, those who bought horses and those who contributed prizes to the raffle. We congratulate those who eventually won! either on the horses or in the raffle. The Committee are truly grateful and welcome you all to the next Race Night.
