Irish Iron Membership 2011-12

2011-12 Irish Iron membership will be available at the QPR game on 9th April (my final visit to GP this season as I won't be attending the final game due to family commitments)

M'ship fees still remain at £10/€15 (add £4/€5 if postage is required) for which you recieve a new boxed engraved shot glass, a fridge magnet, enamel badge and a m'ship card.

Membership of Irish Iron is open to everyone, everywhere, the majority of our m'ship have no Irish connections and reside outside Ireland - a healthy love of all things Iron is all that's needed to join us!, all proceeds from m'ship fees and sales of our range of merchandise goes back to GP as sponsorship.
Many thanks to the 115 members who joined last season, just the 3rd time in 16 years we've managed over 100 members.

Anyone wishing to join/renew for 2011-12 please let me know in advance as I can have your m'ship card/pack made up ready for collection at our stall at GP on 9th April, payment can be made by cash/cheque/PO or paypal (irishironATeircom.net)although please add a small donation towards paypal fees if paying that way.

We hope next season to purchase some shares in SUFC as well as sponsor Players kit etc, if anyone wishes to help out in this aim they can add a few quid to their m'ship fee which will go to share purchases. All help is gratefully recieved and goes to help the Club we love.

Thank you
