We are now approaching the final few matches of what has been a traumatic season for our famous Club but it is so reassuring that the fans have shown such great loyalty and resolve during these difficult times.

We play Hearts away on Saturday 21 April and a few of HTBs finest will be making the trip to cheer the team on. We then play our East End rivals at Castle Doom on Sunday 29 April - we will organise a coach to that match subject to sufficient numbers and tickets. We will also organise a coach (possibly from Leeming) for the midweek match against Dundee Utd at Ibrox on Weds 2 May - again subject to numbers.

The final home match of the season is against Motherwell at Ibrox on Saturday 5 May - normal arrangements for the coach and we will hold the AGM after the match. Our final match of the season is away to St Johnstone on Sunday 13 May - we will be running a coach to that match and hopefully we will have a good turn out to finish off the season.

Our "End of Season" function will be held at Farnley Sports and Social Club in Leeds on Saturday 2 June - entertainment from The Thornlie Boys and ex-players Dave Smith and John MacDonald will be there - let's finish the season in traditional style!!! Tickets are now available - £5 for members and £10 for non-members. A coach will be organised for those travelling from Darlington, Northallerton, Leeming and Harrogate.

Thanks as ever for your continued support - WATP!

We are organising another H.T.Bs field trip for the away game at MOTHERWELL on Saturday 31st March, anyone who is interested in going will shortly be able to register for the bus online, or let the relevent people know. Anyone who went on our last trip to Fir Park towards the end of last season will surely remember what a cracking day out it was before, during and after the game at the bowling club, even Archie turned up for an away game and even bought a drink, and who can forget Jimmy Murray (well we did actually, but we went back for him, eventually, sorry Jim). Hope to see you all there. W.A.T.P etc.

A Happy New Year to all members and friends of Harrogate True Blues RSC. Let's hope 2012 brings more success to the Rangers.

A coach has been arranged for the away match against St Johnstone on Saturday 14 January. If you plan to go and haven't already registered online, or notified Andy or John, please get in touch as soon as possible.

The home matches against Aberdeen on 21 January and Hibs on 28 January will be busy so please book your seats in advance to avoid any disappointment.

Can I please remind ALL members and their guests about the need to maintain a high standard of behaviour on the coach - a few recent events have been very disappointing and the Office Bearers will be reviewing these matters and considering whether any action is necessary to avoid further problems.

Theme:- bad Christmas jumpers.

Commitments so far: Ollie - pizza, Marion - After Eights, Jean - Square sausages in round rolls/round sausages in square rolls, Fozzie - 'fruit surprise', Gary K - cheese, Ally - I've forgotten, Rab D - I've forgotten, Rab M - 3000 sausage rolls and a squeeze box. Pigs in blankets & fortified grape juice from northern Portugal still required. And anything else you can think of that isn't sausage rolls.

And don't forget your bad Christmas jumper, forfeits will be in place.
