Introducing – Widnes Vikings Independent Player Support (Widnes VIPs)

An update from the new subscription scheme created by Widnes Vikings fans…

“Just to provide an update of where we are up to, following our latest committee meeting:

Roles of committee members as follows:

Chair – Anne-Marie Hughes

Vice Chairman – Chris Smith

Secretary – Andy Lee

Treasurer – John Paton

Membership Secretary – John Hollins

PR/Media – Position available 

Fundraiser – Leam Fox (assisted by Anne-Marie)

The committee has agreed the constitution for the scheme, this will be published on the new website when ready to launch. Social media to be set up closer to launch. 

An EGM will be set (estimated 6 months after launch), for members to have their say, discuss constitution, how the scheme is going & feedback.  As VIQI has ended, we want to get started as soon as possible.  

Website construction is underway, which will provide a link on how to join the new scheme as soon possible.  

We’ve applied for a bank account, which takes around 6 weeks to open. 

DBS checks for committee members who don’t already hold one have been applied for. Policies such as privacy notice/data protection are being written and will need to be agreed. 

Manual application for non-internet members to follow. 

Further updates will be available in due course.”
