On the 20 th May, we are doing a Quiz night instead of a meeting, teams from Leigh East, The centurions and Lisa so far entered,more teams are welcome.
I agree with the comments on her re the meetings although what the answer is I dont know and whether theres enough members willing to help resolve it neither. Ideas welcome.

Just to say though and this is food for thought.......

LISA was set up to raise funds to buy players with and it still does that, however the figures we raise now are considerably less.
However what everyone needs to remember is the more money we raise the better squad we can have, therefore the better chance we have of getting more fans through the turnstiles, which then gives us a better chance of getting the FRANCHISE be it 2012 or 2015. This is the most important thing fans need to consider, its not about attending meetings and maybe we need to focus on finding other things to do instead of meetings.

Big problem at moment is all IM is seeing both at meetings and attendances is apathy,

I thought beforehand that it was a bad idea inviting IM as I expected a very low turnout - AGM or not.

A report of the meeting has now been posted on the LISA website.

Linda, LISA needs to evolve. Stagnate and die is a common saying, LISA is almost dead as a fans pressure group, so what does it do next. Merge it with the Corporate club, get rid of the monthly meeting? Turn it into an official supporters club, organising travel/fundraising? Turn it into an ISA and buy into the club?

LISA decided not to move a few years ago when the road ahead was collapsing its now collapsed, but a supporters group has such a big role to play in moving our club forward.

It needs a real leader ( defn somebody who gets others to do what he/she wants them to do because they want to do it) It doesnt need an administrator, it has to be exciting, dynamic and vibrant - good luck.

Read Tommy Sale's book - he used to be President of the old supporters club - give him the title!

I think you're better having quarterly meetings, but like has been said maybe LISA needs to be rebranded and for that you need support from the club.

For me you need the clubs support. Get them to give you:

A LISA bar
A LISA box - if there is one that is not sold for the game then LISA can have it for £100 or nothing!
Allow a LISA member to travel with the squad etc

You need tp be able to offer the members something new, clearly in today's climate people are unwilling to give £5 month for a meeting,

Not sure what else has been offered in the past - but re-introduce them and look at what other rugby/football clubs are offering and get LISA thriving again

these are something the club have no control over whatsoever, how many times does it need posting before it sinks in?

as for travelling with the players? i don't think that would be very professional of the club to just let any tom dick or harriet to travel on the team coach, do you?

Linda what does LISA contribute now, its peak was circa £35k which at the time was more than the lottery.
If you are down to £10-15k then move to an official supporters club working as part of the club, with a 2 level membership fee, the £5 a month Squadbuilders and £5 a year members.
