From the sales, we were able to donate over £200 to York City South which formed a small part of the £1,000 that YCS donated to York City in March following the first lockdown. The last issue went on sale on January 1st, naively, we thought let’s get into Monks Cross in spring, see the lay of the land and have this issue out in August. How wrong could we be? The first MX delay was announced within a fortnight and subsequent shenanigans means that it was only completed last week, a story lasting 19 years.. Down at YCS, we had a bit of a committee re-shuffle in the summer. With Chairman Derek Feasby moving back to Yorkshire, ex chair Alastair Smith answered the call, flying all the way back from the USA to commence a second term as Chairman. Ray Goodearl becomes Vice Chairman and Andy Naylor is our new Treasurer, the pair swapping roles. Our thanks go to Derek for his time as Chairman, no doubt we’ll see him at games (lockdown restrictions permitting), don’t where, don’t know when, but hopefully it won’t be too long.
