FaST Programme notes – Tiverton Town, January 30, 2010
Announcing Rob’s Raise the Roof Ride – 40 miles to Hemel Hempstead!
We’ve hinted at it for a few weeks, but now we can proudly reveal FaST’s next fund-raiser, Rob’s Raise the Roof Ride!
Rob Matheson, a FaST Board member and the second of three generations of dedicated Farnborough Supporters, is a keen cyclist and wants to put this to the test to raise as much money as possible for the next phase of the PRE development, the stand roof. Rob will be cycling from Cherrywood Road to the Boro fixture at Vauxhall Road, Hemel Hempstead on Easter Monday, April 5 – a distance of some 40 miles, and we need YOU to provide him with the incentive to get there.
From today we will be taking your sponsorship donations to spur Rob on to complete the course. Forms are available for you to sign and donate at the FaST table, and for those who feel they can raise further cash from friends or work colleagues, for you to take away.
If you’re reading this at the game, you will hopefully have seen Rob and his trusty cycle being presented to you in front of the main stand. If you’re reading at home – look out for photographs and more details in the next home programme. Your sponsorship will be for the entire ride and there is no minimum limit. All donations will be acknowledged and, in the extremely unlikely event that Rob fails to finish, will be refunded.
You may find it easier to donate online. For this purpose we have set up a Paypal account using our regular email address

. Simply log on to Paypal (set up an account if you don’t already have one) and send your sponsorship to this email address where it will be quickly acknowledged.
Everyone who knows Rob Matheson also knows his love and huge support for Farnborough FC. In addition to the FaST membership, his Raise the Roof Ride has the full backing of Simon Hollis and everyone at the Club.
More information as the weeks go by, but if you want to be among the first to donate, today’s the day.
FaST Race Night
This event seems to be fated! Once again problems have arisen to prevent us from holding it on the last date mentioned. We’re now working on an evening very shortly after the close of the season and will advise this date as soon as we feel sufficiently confident!
