Sounds really good.

Just wish it had been pencilled in for the school holiday week! I'd have to try and get an unpaid day off to attend so it is very doubtful I'll be there!

A general quiz or a quiz about Northern/Bulls?

Sounds fun and an ambient evening, we'll try to make it.
Well done you lot for organising this, its a great start.

There'll be some general knowledge questions and some rugby league questions.

Right, I'm off to Edinburgh... Come on you Bulls!

Bump.

This should be an excellent event folks, and it's free. The more, the merrier!

How many do you need for a team? What if you have no friends?

Meet and beat the Bulls ...

Soooo tempting. Hard to believe nobody has nodded that one in yet .

It's not a debate, so there is nothing to go through on the nod...........are you possibly mixing your metaphors some where along the line?

It needs to be a debate for somebody to nod in the finish to such a blatantly 'asking for one' title ?
eg . 'We just did' coming from a Cru fan would be a fine finishing touch .

I'm sure if this guy carries on trying to derail this thread some friendly mod will send him to the cooler for a bit?

Oooops . Apologies . I didn't realise you were so touchy on here .
Good luck with the event .
BTW . What is BullBuilder about ? Is it just a supporters clique thing , or a charity fund-raising gathering ?
P.S. Before you start thinking I am taking the pi55 with that question , I asked my mate who is a Bulls fan , and he don't know the answer .

Its not being touchy, just that this is a serious information thread. There are plenty of other threads for banter, including observations about comparative table positions even now...



Answer to your question - its neither of those.

"Bullbuilder" is The Bradford Rugby League Supporters Society Limited - a Supporters' Trust incorporated on 23/3/10 under the Industrial and Provident Societies Act 1965, regulated by the Financial Services Authority and guided and supervised by Supporters' Direct - the Supporters' Trusts initiative.

Best way to describe what the aspirations are is to list its "objects" - Rule 2 in a 125-rule constitution that Mission, Dilligaf and I still have nightmares about going through!

2. The Society’s objects are, either itself or through a subsidiary company or society trading for the benefit of the community and acting under its control:

i. to strengthen the bonds between the Club and the community which it serves and to pursue opportunities to represent the interests of the community in the running of the Club;

ii. to benefit present and future members of the community served by the Club by promoting encouraging and furthering the game of rugby league as a recreational facility, sporting activity and focus for community involvement;

iii. to further the development of the game of rugby league nationally and internationally and the upholding of its rules;

iv. to encourage the Club to take proper account of the interests of its supporters and of the community it serves in its decisions;

v. to encourage and promote the principle of supporter representation on the board of any company owning or controlling the Club and to pursue opportunities, and should such opportunities arise to be the vehicle, for democratic elections for supporter representation on that board;

vi. to promote, develop and respect the rights of members of the community served by the Club and people dealing with the Society as set out in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, having regard in particular to the need to provide information to members and conduct the affairs of the Society in accessible and appropriate ways;

vii. to support and assist young people, through the Club’s scholarship and academy systems, in their aspirations to become and development into professional rugby league players.


Most of that is fairly standard for all the other Supporters' Trusts (Warrington's is the role model for us) across Rugby League. The last object we added in specifically, since that will be the primary focus of Bullbuilder, at least for the present, and that is how all funds raised will be applied.

Bullbuilder is totally separate to the club, and the Society Board - representing the will of the members - not the club, will determine where funds will be applied.

Hopefully Bullbuilder's members can make a real difference to the club's recruiting, retaining and developing our players of the future. And have fun in doing it!

Ideally teams would be between 4 and 10 people. But if you want to enter on your own, that's fine. Alternatively you can try and join up with others on the night, or just come along and enjoy the night without entering the actual quiz.

I will be attending with a demon team of my inlaws and DILLIGAFs mum

be warned we are AWESOME

Where will DILLIGAF be? Oh yes at the end of a phone looking at a pc!

Unfortunately he is a scorere and thus unable to assist with the wapping of questions...dammit also our score sheet will go to another scorer to prevent bias DAMMIT

I think it would be cheating for me to be on a team when I will have the answers, yes?




Not unless I get called out for work I won't be!


And before anyone asks, the price of a bribe to be given the answers is a £10,000 donation to BullBuilder
