Trust and BUSA working together to help save Pilgrims

Following the appeal from David Newton and Neil Kempster for fans to write letters to the Inland Revenue in an effort to try and save Boston United from a winding up order, BUFCST and BUSA (Boston United Supporters Association) have been working together to encourage as many fans as possible to send letters, as well as sending a joint letter from the chairmen of the two organisations.

Although we encourage people to write an individual letter where possible, the two organisations have produced a suggested letter that fans can download and send if they are unsure what to write. There will also be letters available to sign at the home game against Blyth Spartans on Saturday 19th March... MORE >>>

The Trust have been asked by the chair and vice-chair of Boston United to place this on our website:

Please help us save the club

As you are probably aware, the club remains in a very precarious position. The only possible way forward is for HMRC (the Inland Revenue to you & I!) to accept a modification to the CVA. To date we have not been able to get their agreement. We have stressed at every opportunity how important the club is to the fans and the town. They are aware of the work that is done through The Study Support Centre, The Football in the Community, The Centre of Excellence, and the Youth Development Programme. Please write to HMRC and explain how important the club is to you and the town.

TIME IS RUNNING OUT - PLEASE DO IT TODAY
Thanks for your support

With over 120 Santa's of all shapes, sizes and ages (plus a few Santa dressed dogs) running, jogging and walking around the streets of The Town to the amazement of the watching children and the amusement of the adults.

The BUFCST Board wish to express their thanks to Boston Borough Council, Lincolnshire Police, St John's Ambulance and the wonderful Marshals from the Boston Explorers, as well as the great sponsorship, and hard work, of both Fitness First and the Chris Cook Print Shop. Everyone who took part in the event played their part in making it a day to remember, with indications that over £3,000 in sponsorship would be raised in total by all competitors, and convinced us that the BUFCST Santa Fun Run will become an annual event, and an integral part of Boston's pre Christmas activities.MORE >>>

The BUFCST is coming to terms with the death of our past chairman Mr Ron Coley. Although Ron had been ill for some time it was still a shock to lose a friend who was instrumental in forming the BUFCST.

Plans are well advanced for our fundraising 5k Santa Fun Run around Boston Town centre on Sunday 16th Deceamber 2007, commencing at 11.00am. This event will form part of Boston's pre Christmas events and everyone, in the area is encouraged to take part and raise funds not just for the BUFCST but also for an organisation, or charity, of their choice on a 50/50 basis.
