Past Events.
Supporters Trust Quiz Night.
Brompton Westbrooke School, Saturday 27 January 2007.
As soccer has again been moved from a Saturday to accommodate TV GST has decided to organise a Quiz for the evening of Saturday 27 January 2007.
The evening will consist of a few games as well as the Quiz, that will not be to a brain of Britain standard. The concept is to get members together and have a bit of fun.
To help boost trust funds the cost will be £5 per adult (children (under 14) will be free) Teams for the Quiz can consist of Up to 6 Adults (any children will be a bonus if they know any answers). There will be prizes for the winners and losers as well as other prizes through the night. The £5 Entry fee will also include food (Curry) during an interval.
Unfortunately we are not able to provide drinks, on this occasion, but there is no objection to participants bringing their own and this is encouraged. Your own Glass may also be useful.
The Evening is being held at the Brompton Westbrooke School in Kings Bastion Gillingham with ample car parking on site.
We aim to start at 7.30 pm and end around 11pm.
If you are up for this and will be attending with a team please give me a ring or email with a rough idea of your team size (this is to helps judge the food requirements). Even if you can only get a team of two you should have a chance to win and still enjoy the evening.
Come along and help the evening be a success and meet some of your fellow members and talk about your horror stories from this and bygone seasons.

Valentine’s Ball
GST were delighted with the outcome of the Valentine’s Ball, held at The Great Hall, Priestfield Stadium. This was the second such event held by the Trust, with plans for more to follow.
Over two hundred attended the function, hosted by Eastenders star Lucy Speed – Natalie to you and I. An excellent dinner was provided by our friends from Compass, and music on the night came courtesy of “Rise”.
Thanks to the generosity of our corporate sponsors, and those attending on the night, a sum in excess of £4,700 was raised for Trust funds – a magnificent effort.
It seems bar takings must have been healthy too, resulting in raffle winner Dave Haines staggering off without his newly-acquired TV! Needless to say, it is now back with its rightful owner.
Looking ahead, the next event will be a Halloween Dinner/Dance, again at Priestfield, on Friday 13th October. Details of ticket prices and entertainment will be released shortly, and all members are encouraged to come along. Not only do these functions help raise funds for club and community, they provide a great night out. Give it a try.
