Bluebird Development Fund sponsored by:

Welcome to the Bluebird Development Fund section of the website. The BDF is the fundraising group within the club and it's aim is to raise as much money as possible to help with the development of the club.
 
The main activities include organising program sales for the club, running match day raffles - including the Beer Raffle and Golden Goal - and running the matchday shop on the West Terrace, where replica shirts and other merchandise, old programs, drinks etc can be bought. We also organise an annual sponsored walk and other fundraising events throughout the year.
 
We are always interested in welcoming new people to the group and looking at new ideas on how we can raise more money, so if you are interested in helping out or have an idea, then please let us know at: bdfbafc@googlemail.com or visit us in the shop inside the ground on a match day.
