Neil Arber and his family have presented the Club with £6000 from the profits raised throughout the season from coach travel,raffles and general fund raising. The picture shows Darren Arber (remember him from being mascot at the 1987 Cup Final), Deborah Brown, (Darren's fiancee) and Neil himself.

To complete the family connection Neil's wife Margaret has also been involved behind the scenes organising the activities.

A big well done to Neil and his family for a fantastic effort with the fund raising once again this season Neil as worked hard for the club for many years through plenty of ups and downs (more downs) its people like Neil that make Halifax RLFC what it is I salute you Neil

Top bloke, well done on another year of voluntary service and many hours of his time given up to help the club.

Clubs like Widnes don't have characters like Neil Arber.

Fantastic, well done Taxman

6k is a lot of money well done.

Why no mention of the "Halifax Independant Supporters Trust", in this thread?

Because it is a thread about Neil Arber and the hard work he and his family have done for the club for many, many years.

in these hard times he done a great job, well done neil and family.

Still no thanks to the TRUST MEMBERS who ran the busses.

Neil organised the coaches,but some of the coaches were manned by Trust Members. Credit where Credit's due I think.

Thank you for your kind messages following the anouncement of the money we have raised this season.
It is not just about money though but the service and benefits given to our supporters.
It would not have been possible to provide this without the help though from many sources. Thanks to those behind the scenes in the Club offices, Trust members and supporters who manned coaches and sold raffle tickets when we took more than one coach to away games and all those in some way helped when needed. The biggest thank you though is to you the supporters who travelled on the coaches, joined in the various raffles or were a Club 1873 member. Without your support of the fund raising efforts none of this would have been possible.
I am sure there are people like myself who give a lot of voluntory time for their chosen Club. Well done to them.
To you the Halifax Supporters thank you.
Neil
