Immediately following the conclusion of the 2009/2010 Blue Square Premier Season a number of like minded Club supporters came together to explore ways of generating extra income and giving support to a totally dedicated and focused Board of Directors. On Monday 26th April the Income Generation Group was born and at the first meeting £1,200 was raised just by those sitting around the table.

After only nine weeks of operation, the newly-formed Income Generation Group has raised a staggering £20,000 for the Club. With six weeks remaining before the start of the new season, their ambitious target of £35,000 is within sight.

How can you help? Every business and individual is invited (perhaps I should say urged!) to sponsor the club - the most successful village team in the country - and help ensure its future success. The opportunities to help range from purchasing a square (£1) for the Summer Draw (to be drawn following the first home game of the season against Barrow on Saturday 14th August), to sponsoring a player at £150, purchasing a pitch-side banner at £600, advertising in the match day programmes or sponsoring a match - there are certainly plenty of options to choose from.

The Club will be present at the Histon Feast Market on The Green this coming Saturday (10th July) and there you will be able to show support for Histon F.C.

All donations and pledges of support from individuals, businesses and associations from Histon and Impington and the surrounding area are vital. Please call me on 07710 505689 to discuss the option that suits you.

The next meeting of the IGG takes place at the Glassworld Stadium on Thursday 8th July at 7.30pm. All Histon F.C. supporters are welcome!
