In the wake of the positive waves around the club, CAST member Clive Harris and fellow Addick Harvey Marsden have decided to set up a supporters group for Addicks from the forces family.
The primarily aims of the group are to:
- Establish links between past and present members of the forces community with a shared interest in the club.
- Provide a way to share unused tickets to members.
- Organising a group presence and travel to fixtures should others not have anyone else to go with.
- Establish a team of willing volunteers for fundraising opportunities.
- Establish a continuing point of presence for the club around Remembrance Day and Armed Forces Day.
- Become a point of contact for Armed Forces personnel from outside their own chain of command for the purposes of welfare and advice.
- Highlight achievements of members.
- Become a point of contact to the resident units in Woolwich Garrison and strengthen the bond between the club and the Armed Forces.
If you are currently serving or have served in the armed forces, regular or reserve, and would like to join, then please drop an email to armedforcesaddicks@gmail.com or give us a follow on twitter @AFAddicksSC
Clive says: "It is free and only a few basic questions to verify your service are required. A regular newsletter and irregular meetings are in the pipeline so it would be good to meet a few of you before a game, pull up a sandbag and have a beer."
