We’ve got some great news today. The Monarchs Fans Trust has reached its initial target of 100 members! This is a great achievement for the trust in such a short space of time. Sam Boon became the 100^th member when he signed up earlier this week, he stated that he joined the trust to ensure that we get regular speedway every Friday and encouraged everyone to sign up no matter how small the amount as “Every little helps”.

The generosity of the Monarchs fans in general and, you, as a trust members, in particular, has been astonishing and this achievement could not have been reached without your support. Thank you on behalf of everyone connected with the Monarchs Fans Trust.

There can be no doubt that Monarchs fans are once again proving that they are amongst the best fans, not just in Speedway, but in all of sport. After only a few short weeks the trust has reached a figure that some people thought was impossible.

As a thank you for your support and generosity, we would like to invite a group of members of the trust to present the first cheque to the club. The first cheque presentation will take place on the centre green during the Glasgow Tigers match on Friday 24 April 2015. You’ll get a chance to watch a race or two from the centre green (a great experience) and if you are shy, don’t worry, there will be no need for speeches, we just need a small group to hand over the cheque.

Just email us at info@monarchsfanstrust.co.uk if you’d like to be part of the group on Friday 24^th April. If you can’t make it on Friday, don’t worry, there will be other opportunities to present the cheque as this will be a monthly presentation.

Thanks again for your wonderful support!

The Monarchs Fans Trust Committee

The trust began an association with Edinburgh Speedway Podcast today, our spokesperson Dave Harley was a guest on the first show for the 2015 season.  This was released tonight and can be found on the official Monarchs website via the following link.

On it Dave talks through details about the trust and hopefully gives you a flavour of what we hope to achieve and where we are just now. We thank Scott Frame for putting it together and for giving us the platform to get our message out. It’s a fantastic show and another example of Edinburgh Speedway leading the way, we wish Scott and the Podcast well for the season ahead.

One of the things we are keen to reinforce is that we will be completely open and transparent in everything we do and the Podcast will be another way we update our members of any news and look forward to making more appearances on it throughout the season.

We were also featured on a number of new bulletins on Radio Forth and there should be a feature in this weeks Speedway Star. We encourage people to spread the details of the trust as wide as possible and thank those who have signed up already.
