Last season we attended 36 home games as a club and 13 away games. Our membership was slightly down which we did expect, 48 members last season. Due to the low numbers travelling last season we have only renewed some of the season books but have the option to secure 2 more from Fort William . Overall we had another successful season although the numbers attending matches was disappointing. Claire Nicolson has been working hard with the club’s website and you can now pay membership fees and buy merchandise directly from the website. Many thanks to all committee members and Claire for continuing the hard work needed to ensure a successful supporters club. 2.
