Exeter City visit
Andy Roberts, Helen Hickman and Trina Smith were guests of Exeter City FC for the Cobblers visit at the beginning of December.
The trust guests were given a tour of Exeter's St James Park stadium, a glowing reflection of a 100 per cent community-owned club that works so hard on behalf of its supporters.
We would like to publicly thank Elaine Davis, Nick Hawker and the other Trust officials for their generous hospitality and for making the visit so special.
We look forward to welcoming four members of the Grecians Trust to Sixfields next month when we sponsor the home match with Exeter.
Meeting with NTFC
The Trust is hoping for a meeting with NTFC officials within the next few weeks to learn more about the development opportunities at Sixfields. We will let you know once we have a meeting arranged, or otherwise.
