Winterton Iron

Winterton Iron is an enthusiastic, community-based group of Scunthorpe United Supporters of all ages and gender.

Winterton Iron was founded in the summer of 2007 as a result of an idea of Stuart Maw (Chairman) and Karen Freeman (Secretary) and the group can now boast more than 50 members.

The image below shows us at the start of our maiden away trip to Charlton in August 2007.


Sponsorship

The team picture below is of Dale Park Under 15's wearing their Winterton Iron sponsored kit for the first time before defeating Crosby Wasps by 6-3 at Foxhills.


Jacob Hammond pictured at the Nou Camp, home of FC Barcelona, during his 5 day tour of Barcelona with Doncaster Rovers.

Jacob wishes to thank the Winterton Iron and Winterton Lions for contributing towards the cost of his trip.

He had a great time, and the team won both of their matches with Jacob keeping a clean sheet in both.





Below, Wendy Storrs presents Stuart Maw, Chairman of the Winterton Iron, with a cheque for £278. Wendy raided the money from the sponsored glider flight, that she successfully bid for, at a previous Winterton Iron function.


The money is to be split equally between L.I.V.E.S. (first response emergency unit), Lindsey Lodge Hospice and the 'Winterton Iron' whose share will be ploughed back into sponsoring youth football locally.

Thank you Ralph Wood for the raffle prizes .
The Cardiff game as most of you know has caused us a few problems with most of the 'hard core' of us who travel away not going because of the 'Bit of a Do' at Winterton Rangers on the Saturday night.
What has been decided is to open the bus booking book at Karens Fruit and Veg shop on King Street (Tel 737123) to see if there is still enough interest to run a bus to the game. The bus will cost us the best part of a thousand pounds so we need commitment before going ahead. Perhaps we will not get enough names ?? We will reach a decision at our next meeting in two weeks time on Monday July 13th.

The cost would be £20 for members, £15 for under 17's and £23 for no members.
WE WILL BE HAVING A BUS TO SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY and the bookings are now being taken by Karen at the shop. £4 for Under 17's, £5 for members, and £7 for non members. Please pay when booking your place.
The Polo shirt order has gone in, i am taking payment for them. Hopefully they will be here for the start of the new season. We hope to see as many of you as possible at Winterton Show wearing your existing Winterton Iron polo shirts, Stuart will be handing out leaflets on a new membership crusade. Come and have a chat in the 'Local History Tent'
Also please dont forget the friendly at Winterton Rangers on Tuesday July 14th against Scunthorpe United, we are sponsoring this one.
