Just as I was throwing out last Saturday's CN I read that one of the clubs most loyal and respected supporters was back in court for non payment of fines.
He told the court that at the time he had no money, as the contents of a container storing all his business possessions had been sold to charity without his knowledge (?).
He is now working as a 'Research Investigation Officer' (what ever that is), and can resume paying the fine. I can't find a link om the CN website.
How the mighty have fallen.

"Mike Edwards watch". Bear any resemblance to a "Mickey Mouse watch"?

The thread was called 'Sooty Watch'
Has some over zealous individual changed the title? If so, can I draw you to a quote from the Cambridge News?
'Sooty, who was previously known as Mike Edwards but has now changed his name by deed poll to match his nickname..................'

I am still banned from there - IP banned in fact. All due to some mild piss taking and fruit/vegetable artwork.
Is this about the Red Arrows?

It's all about that HIST shite Allow me to copy and paste the content, if you can make any sense of it of course... Over the years I have done a 'wot wos sed' 'report' on all kinds of meetings covering the 3 clubs. On this occasion....it is a real pleasure to report back my findings at what was an Hist-oric event! (Knicked that quip from Ealesy.....he still has 'it' all will be pleased to know!x)
Attendance....40-50ish which was excellent! Comparisons are this....Rushgen & Diamonds first meeting to form their club had 7 people in attendance nearly 25 years ago.....they were mentioned last night in their new guise....and are on the rise again! CFU (Cambridge Uniteds fans trust) had similar numbers to last night at its inauguration...and has grown to have in excess of 300 members renewing each year 10 years on.
The advantage HIST has over these two 'groups' at this stage is the calibre of the leadership....and number of them! The working Committee consists of 9 dedicated individuals of which 8 were present last night....here is my take on their input and being so far!
David Fulcher ...had an important match with his son so made apologies for his absence...X
John Payne...HIST Chairperson...a gentle generous man yet worldy with it announced his previous fans organisation for Histon had ceased and all his resources/efforts are now being invested into HIST. You all should be thankful he is too!x
Richard Barlow...a local man who has moved away from Histon but has his roots and efforts firmly focused on his homeland! Richard is the man for detail on legislation/procedure and stuff and does it with a smile and warmth....an excellent 'peoples man' and will inspire confidence in members to feel HIST is approaching things 'professionally' with pleasure. He even got us to vote on summink we hadn't seen or knew nowt abpout... on our first vote.....such is his charm!! My hand went up first to back his request.....yaaaaayyyy!!! I had me first vote....and felt a part....not a pr*t!x
Laurence Cullum...an ex player and has been a fan for 30 years+. A genuine guy who is keen to ensure the accounts/financial aspects of the Trust are in order....and from one who has never paid attention to those things....he's welcome to it!!! Super fella and I suggest members can sleep safe knowing he is on the case.
Paul Saunders...or Jasper as we all know him on here! We learnt that Jaspers close family and friends have assisted in developing the HIST website and all is up and running with tweeking on-going. He requested input from fans and members to develop the site further to serve you best. He had managed to save in excess of £700 in set up costs for the website which all were appreciative of. A special thank you to his daughter Nicola who i am assured is better looking than him and has more technical noose too. I was relieved at those clarifications afterwards!!hehe!x @@ ~
Keith Nichols...a tall man with a huge grin and true grit! We have spoken before this meeting a few times and for some reason every time i see him I start singing the...where's me keys....where's me fone...ditty in me head!!! He set me off again last night as he announced on-going promotions he is taking responsibility for in raising cash. He shared some of the ideas/schemes started and being explored for the future. To date....Keith and alls efforts has produced funds well ahead of their projected targets! What a start!....now where's me fone.........oh yeah Keiths knicked it.....hehe!x
Bill Parker...Bill has taken responsibility for membership logistics/admin and dishing out of badges! He gave me one...I lost it...he gave me another reluctantly...but I found the original in me bag when i got home! What impressed me is his approach to treat all 'equal'! He went into a different mode when i approached him for a second badge....and i'm sure I heard him growl 'preeeecccciiioooous' as he put his whole body in front of the box containing them...and gave me a look that suggests we shouldn't be having that chat or I could stop breathing abruptly at his fingertips......yet he smiled genuinly wiv it at the same time!!! Don't mess wiv Bill and his badges mefinks.....lovely man!x He did share the fact that membership too had exceeded projected figures. We were all happy with that but I'm sure he snarled under his breath as he sat down after his announcements whislt mothering his badge box.....!hehe!x
David Dean...David said he is man wivout portfolio at present but is willing and able to put effort in where and when required whatever! I think he was being a bit reserved with his efforts on behalf of us all already...but certainly showed and told us he was keen to help which was appreciated by all.
Val Graves...I don't qualify to comment on Vals superb input to Histon over the years....her time served speaks for itself....X She proudly announced that all her fund raising efforts are now being channelled through HIST and will have more dedicated and focused purposes for use of the money raised. All of the decisions as to where funds will be spent will be a membership decision...and not a Committee or individual one....anymore.
These folk make up the steering group....gaffas...of HIST. When I consider their skill base....personalities...and potential.....then I can say I have every confidence in them to represent 'us'...you the member....as required and that they have the determination...ability and confidence Histon FC currently are desperate for....as Russell stated some months back. HIST...has been launched...I reckon!x Gonna have a cuppa....and be back for part 2 which will explore stuff said...raised....and avoided!!!!x @@ ~ LUV SOOTY x
