HSL Email

**DaveF** · 25-04-2019 02:27 PM

Don't see another thread so thought I'd post up the email from HSL re their AGM and a couple of initiatives they have announced:

I am writing to give formal notice of our intention to hold this years AGM on Sunday 19th May at Easter Road Stadium. I will write closer to the date to confirm exact time and location within the Stadium.

I would also like to take the opportunity to share with you the details of a couple of initiatives we have in hand.

Founders Board
The Club have kindly agreed to accommodate a display Board within the Stadium that would contain all the names of the founding Members of HSL. The Founding Members would be those donators who had paid their Membership fee in full by a given date, probably 30th September 2019. We would like this to be a very prestigious Board and with this in mind are looking for a sponsor who could help us produce a quality remembrance.

Official Strip
Again, the Club have kindly agreed to facilitate a special, and official, Club Strip dedicated to the Founding Members of HSL. The Clubs official 3rd Strip for season 2020/21 will include all the names of our Founding Members.

Membership Fee
It is our intention to propose an increase in our Membership Fee to take effect immediately following the deadline for our Founding Membership. It seems only fair that we recognise the huge contributions made by the many who have contributed to HSL since launch.

I will write again as soon as I have more information.

James Adie
Chairman

May have to buy a XXXXXXL shirt to accommodate all the names!

**~~Iggy Pope~~** · 25-04-2019 03:27 PM

Hopefully the thought of your name on the jersey prompts a few.
I’m happy they’ve gone with this and the members display board sounds like a good idea too.

I’m not understanding the Membership Fee bit though.

**hibbydad** · 25-04-2019 03:33 PM

I don't understand the membership fee either

**~~JXM73~~** · 25-04-2019 03:35 PM

Ok, how do join and how much, be cool to have name on a shirt?

Its the amount you need to pay to become a member - think its £225, so £10 a month for 2 years gets you there.

Those asking about joining etc, there is an HSL thread, also their website - https://hiberniansupporters.co.uk/

Is that not the £225 in total donations by an individual that was mentioned at HSL launch?

You need to donate at least £225 by the cut off date

**~~Bangkok Hibby~~** · 25-04-2019 03:39 PM

Its a great idea but is it relying on current members to spread the word?

If you log on, can see all your payments
Presume the “one off” payments for the Europa league competitions they ran, are included in your donations to date

***mutley*** · 25-04-2019 03:40 PM

I pay by DD monthly, no idea how much I've paid so far!!

Being honest? No idea, I dont even log on - I just accept the direct debit every month and let it ride !!

**green&left** · 25-04-2019 03:43 PM

Anyone know how many francks you get to a pound?

According to the online portal thingy i'm on 1820 "Francks", no idea how much in £ i've donated though...

You should log on and have a wee look, all adds up, and this is all on top of what you pay to attend matches
Everyone should be proud who are able to afford this, will also see a copy of your certificate on it too!

2303 according to the website.

£225 is the membership fee, so you will have had to reach that before end of September to get on the shirt. No reason why members who don't reach that deadline can't be put forward to go on a future shirt with all the other new joiners so that the incentive is still there.

Got to be honest, I have no idea about those Francks at all.

Well so far I have only donated £15 and I have 125 Francks.

Think 1875 Francks is equal to £225

So £3=25F

The September date quoted was only used as an example of possible cut-off date by Jim Adie. Not set in stone as definite.

Its a shame that members dont fully understand or are unaware of the workings of the site (myself included until recently) Doesnt fill me with confidence about getting the message out to the wider world
