AFFILIATE MEMBER OF THE FOOTBALL SUPPORTERS' ASSOCIATION www.thefsa.org.uk

The coaches that we hire are governed by the Sporting Event (Control of Alcohol etc) Act 1985, which means that anyone who has alcohol in their possession whilst travelling on a coach that is principally being used to take people to or from a match is guilty of an offence. Police have the powers to order that coach back home, and can also inform the Traffic Commissioner, which means that the coach operator, the coach driver and also potentially CUSA could face action. None of that is where we want to be so we will keep on telling people, because the CUSA has always had a good reputation with the authorities and we do not want that to change so that coaches are met and searched either at or before we reach the stadium 

 

CUSA COMMITTEE CHANGES

At the recent CUSA Annual General Meeting, Malcolm Bailey stood down from the Committee, as did Andy Dallard. We would like to thank them both for their help and support 

On the plus side, Kevan Fisher and Ben Spurgeon have kindly agreed to be co-opted to the Committee to provide assistance and guidance to our members, and it is hoped that they, like others will agree to stand for full election to the CUSA Committee in 2025

TRAVEL LOYALTY REWARD

As 2025 is the 30th year of the current incarnation of the CUSA, we have decided to offer our loyal travelling members a discount on coach travel, to mark the occasion. Once a member has made 15 trips, a one off £10 discount will apply.

This can be either on the 16th trip or on anyone of the remaining away games before the season ends. This is effectively a refund of an adult membership. You will be advised once you have completed the required number of away trips.

 

COACH UPDATE - 20 JANUARY

We are currently taking coach bookings for all of the remaining U's away games

 

Tranmere - will just be one coach for this trip and at present there are 2 seats left

Carlisle - coach list just started for this 6am departure

***More often that not we are able to go to those on the waiting list because there are cancellations so please do still get in touch - and of course, if we get enough, then we might be able to book a 2nd coach***

 

 

SPONSORSHIP

For the new season, on behalf of your good selves, our members, the CUSA is proud to sponsor First Team Coach Danny Cowley, Arthur Read and Milton Oni

In addition, we are equally proud to be sponsoring one of the U's best supporters, who happens to be a mighty fine footballer too, in the form of Jamie Newstead, as she plays for the Colchester United Women FC. Good luck Jamie! 

----------------------------

IMPORTANT - in conjunction with Colchester United, the CUSA operates a Safeguarding Policy for under 18's when they are travelling with us on our organised coaches. We kindly ask our under 18 members, together with their parent/guardian to also complete and return the Registration Form which can be found on our Membership page, and to read and understand the Safeguarding Policy, also on the Membership page
Please be aware that for your protection and ours, the CUSA will not be able to accept under 16's on the coach without a parent/guardian accompanying them

A reminder that you will need to be a CUSA member to travel with us. Please don't worry though, as we can take membership forms on the day we travel. To book or to make enquires about coach travel please either email CUSA at away_travel@cusa.co.uk or message anytime Jon Burns 07752 531600 or Malcolm Cole 07901 612063, or call between 7 pm and 9 pm and leave a message
