As chairman of the Trust I''m delighted that we can help the Pups on exactly the same terms as the now defunct NCISA, and thank you all for your interest. If you want to know more about the Trust , which is non profit organisation run entirely by an elected board of volunteers please click here:

I''ve always been grateful to NCISA and then The Trust for making this gesture to us PUPs but of course as always we are not affiliated to any fan group''s beliefs or views. Rays Funds is just a bit of fun for us Canary fans to raise money for the CSF. Our cause did really well out of  the Canary Challenge the year that PUPTilly won the competition and our wonderful Downes Syndrome boys and girls will be hoping a PUP wins the Canary Challenge this year.

Delighted to have won £200 Nutty and give it to a most worthy cause ( see what i did there [;)] ) I think it was the last year it was run by NCISA before the Trust took it on board. In those days going right back to the year it started when Kathy came on board all entry money which usually exceeded four figures was ploughed straight back into the Academy sometimes in conjunction with FONCY and enabled us to provide such things video equipment and even balls for the youth teams and help with a trip to Germany one year. I think between 1995 and the year it finished NCISA gave the club over £50,000 in one form or another.

Pete, how come this thread slips down the page, yet the fans forum one doesn''t?They both appear to be pinned.

[Kathy 733]

I asked Pete this Morty. Pinned posts only remain pinned for a finite period (even ones sponsored by Archant!). After that they slip down the board even though they still bear the ''pin''. I shall bump it from time to time between now and the deadline.

Just to add in my experience the pin is not an advantage because people get used to it being pinned to the top of the board and tend to miss any new posts.
