The club is delighted to announce that the launch for the community share offer relating to the creation of "Grays Athletic Community Football Club" has been set for Wednesday 29 June.

It will take place at the Chadwell Village Hall, Waterson Road, Chadwell St Mary, RM16 4NX. Doors will open at 7pm and the launch will start at 7.30pm.

Supporters and any other interested parties are invited to attend to hear how they can become part of the club by buying a share. This is a key stage in our efforts to become a real community football club and play a bigger part in our local community.

An information pack, including an application form for a share will be available at the meeting. A full explanation of how the share issue will work and how supporters can play their part in the running of our club will be given by James Mathie from Supporters Direct, who are helping and advising the club.

The information pack will also be made available via the club website.

Please spread the word and come along to this important milestone event.

The evening has been chosen to avoid a clash with televised coverage of Euro 2016, so you can enjoy an evening out and learn about how a "Supporter Owned Football Club" works.

The local media are very welcome to attend.
