The Club was formed in November 1990, largely due the efforts of the late Eric White who at the time was the Brentford Matchday Programme Editor. The main purpose of the Club is to enable members to fill gaps in their programme collections and at the same time raise money for the Football Club. Since 1990 the club has raised approximately £50,000 for the Football Club.

The last few years we have been responsible for various articles in the Programme. Two years ago we carried out a review of the 1946-47 and 1996-97 seasons. This was followed by a review of the 1957-58 and 1977-78 last year. This year we are doing something different and are responsible for the Collectors page in the programme. We have also produced the "We have been here before" articles in the FA Cup Programmes.

Membership is just £15 for adults and £5 for Juniors. As an incentive to attract Junior members we are offering 10 free Brentford programmes (not this season) to every new Junior member. We have regular meetings to discuss issues and sell programmes that we have recently acquired.

Membership also entitles you to 10% off old programmes purchased from the Programme Shop in Braemar Road. So don't waste time -

BECOME A MEMBER TODAY - WE NEED YOUR HELP!

WE NEED ANY OF YOUR PRE 1960 PROGRAMMES THAT ARE GATHERING DUST IN THE LOFT SO THAT WE CAN SELL THEM TO MAKE EVEN MORE MONEY FOR BRENTFORD FC.

The last 15 years have seen the Club achieve various goals. A book called Griffin Park Collectables, known as the bible, was produced and is now in the process of being updated. It contains a definitive list of all home programmes issued from 1946-47 until 1994-95 and is still available from the Programme Shop.

We also present the Eric White Memorial Trophy voted for by the members of the Club, to the player who in their opinion has given the best individual performance in a match during the season, which was won last year by DJ Campbell.
