Firstly, we hope all Hemel fans and your families are all keeping safe and well.

For those fans that participate in our budget boosting “Beard Tax” initiative, some you you still have recurring BACS or PayPal payments set up to pay your monthly contribution to scheme. As it stands, we’ve suspended paying the club while football takes a break as it has not been practical (and arguably irresponsible) to take payments from the many fans that pay in cash, so we wouldn’t have sufficient funds to make our payments to the club anyway. We’ll make a final decision on how to proceed once the FA/National League decide what is going to happen with the season. Please consider whether you want to suspend your own payments; at the moment, money coming in to the scheme will be banked for future use in this scheme or similar initiatives going forward.
