Trust

The Whakatane Town A.F.C. Trust

Known affectionately as the Ned Kelly Trust after its founder and Life Member of our Club, Dennis " Ned " Kelly, the Trust has, over the years, been one of the Club's most consistent sponsors, meeting the cost of insuring the Club's assets, the rental on the ground on witch the Clubhouse stands and the water and sewerage charges.

The Trust was started in the late 1950's when soccer in the Eastern Bay of Plenty was still in it's infancy, and it's main source of revenue, was believe it or not, derived from the collection and cashing in on beer bottles.

From such humble beginnings Ned has developed the Trust Fund to the point where it is now proving to be of great benefit to the Club in a time of escalation costs.

The Fund's Trustees at present are Ned Kelly, John Pullar and Bill Finlayson and the Club is grateful to them for their continuing support.
