Academy Appeal Update / AGM Meeting
By Sky Blue Trust
October 8 2005
The Sky Blue Trust and Coventry City Football Club would like to express their delight at reaching their next milestone of £25,000 as part of the Save Our Academy Appeal.
It is a fantastic achievement and we would like to thank everyone including the First Team players for their contributions.
This money has been set aside to pay the rent for the Alan Higgs Centre, the home of the Academy, for the quarter.
The appeal does not stop here, as we still have another £225,000 left to reach our target. We know we can achieve this but not without your help.
Please donate generously to this appeal - all contributions are gratefully received. Why not donate £100 and receive four tickets to attend the Ricoh Arena, a great Christmas Present for any Sky Blue Fan! (Certain games are excluded).
At a time when we are seeing Academy players like Kevin Thornton and Liam Davis make their First Team debut, it is important that we do not lose this facility, and we can see more players come through the ranks - who knows who will be discovered?
Chris Kirkland, a former Academy Graduate, has been called up to the England Squad to face Austria and Poland; with the Coventry City Football Club Academy it just shows the sky’s the Limit for our youngsters.
You can give money either by sending a cheque made payable to: SBT-Academy, to: The Sky Blue Trust, PO Box 3336, Coventry, CV2 5YS, or via our website at Sky Blue Trust.
If you would like more information please contact Lionel Bird on 0791 3344 121.
