Cardiff City Supporters’ Trust has presented honorary membership to Eric Harmer for his dedicated support and work for the Trust.

Eric, best known as landlord of the Duke of Clarence in Canton, is pictured at Mavericks, formerly the Ninian Park, with board member John Isaacson and Trust chair, Tim Hartley.

Thanks Eric for all your efforts – it really is appreciated.

These three lovely ladies were among the first purchasers of the Trust T-shirt in aid of Ty Hafan.

All were sold but you can get yours from the Trust office before the Everton game at £7 with all profits to the deserving children’s charity.

We took quite a few orders before the Manchester City game so please don’t leave it too late to avoid disappointment.

The charity T-shirt produced by the Trust

Cardiff City Supporters’ Trust will be selling specially designed blue T-shirts – with all the profits going to the Ty Hafan children’s charity.

T-shirts will cost just £7 each with £3 going toTy Hafan and will be available from the Trust’s office (near Gate 5) before the Manchester City match.

We will have a limited number available initially in medium, large and extra large– but more will be ordered for future games depending on demand.

The T-shirts have been produced after a design was sent in by Trust member Kurt Williams.

Trust board member Jon Day said: “Kurt was keen to ensure that the colour blue remains very much part of the Cardiff City Stadium so sent in the design and suggested we produce T-shirts. We were very impressed with the design so decided to go ahead.

“We congratulate the club on their ‘Thanks a Million’ good causes scheme and we wanted to help one of the charities the club is also supporting. Ty Hafan does such fantastic work that we felt it appropriate to give all the profits from the sale of T-shirts to the children’s charity. The Trust is not making a single penny from sales.

“Initially, we have a limited number of T-shirts for sale but will make more available depending on the demand. We hope fans will support this good cause while at the same time showing their strong backing for a blue presence in the stadium.”

The Trust office at the Cardiff City Stadium reopens before the Manchester City game on Sunday, August 25.

We’re looking for volunteers to help man the Trust office, near Gate 5, during the forthcoming  Premier League season.

The office, which board member Brian Mertens has responsibility for, normally opens 90 minutes ahead of kick-off and closes 15 minutes before the start of games.

It deals with members’ enquiries, applications for membership and as well as selling old programmes and a range of other goodies and ticketing for events the Trust organises.

If you can spare some time on a rota system, we’d be delighted to hear from you. Just email help@ccfctrust.org

Ali Abdi, Tim Hartley and Jarred Harvey with the winning ATL team.

The Trust has helped youngsters from Cardiff and the south Wales valleys come together to promote friendship and understanding through football.

We joined the Coalfields Regeneration Trust’s GameON Programme and Dynamic Sports Development to host another highly successful inter-community event for 14-18-year-olds at the House of Sport next to the Cardiff City Stadium.

Targeting Communities First areas, the day brought together teams from Trallwn, Fernhill, Merthyr Tydfil, Mountain Ash and Grangetown.,Butetown and Riverside, all in Cardiff. ATL from Cardiff Bay ran out winners beating Grangetown 1-0 in a tight final. The friendly football tournament also included a workshop on drug and alcohol awareness run by Neno Mendes from the substance misuse organisation, New Link Wales.

This is the second such session the Trust has supported following our May event at Treforest. The football allows 14-18 year olds from different backgrounds and communities to share experiences and cultures and make friends. We are hoping to support a regular GameON league and will support their work with other football trusts across Wales.

Trust chair, Tim Hartley said: “Some of these young people will have rarely ventured either out of the valleys or north of Cardiff. It was great to see them playing and talking together. These sessions are all about football of course but we also want to help them get new skills and make new friends.”

Jarred Harvey from GameON Wales added: “We are encouraging young people from different Communities First areas to develop positive personal experiences. Working together we saw that they can increase interaction and social development through football.”

Ali Abdi from Dynamic Sports Development said: “This event was another big success. We are managing to engage young people of the same age to learn, understand and appreciate similarities and respect differences.”
