The Plenary Session began on Friday afternoon, with an overview of the work done this year and the aim of further developing the Penyes Segle XXI Project, which will be rolled out immediately.

Double plenary session

The supporters club sector has enjoyed considerable importance over the last year as a a result of the Club’s intention to strengthen the Penya brand and use it to extend the Club’s values into the wider society. This increased importance was reflected in the decision to spread the Session over two days - Friday evening and Saturday morning.

After Jordi Cardoner had given the official welcome, the members of the Plenary Session began to make their proposals for the immediate future. The plans for the World Meeting, as well as the Congress and the seven-a-side football competition were all presented. The new website, which has been developed over the last few months to help improve the communication between the supporters clubs and the Club and serve as a fundamental tool in developing the many projects the clubs organise, was also unveiled.

Late in the evening, the conclusions of the study into the supporters movement carried out between December and May was presented. The study will be used as the basis for future improvements that the Club wishes to make in the movement.

Commissions present conclusions

As announced earlier, for thematic commissions were created in October made up of Council members and directors of the Social and Supporters Club commissions. These made an exhaustive study of different proposals to improve the way relations between the Club and its supporters clubs are handled.

The conclusions of each of these commissions were presented on Saturday along with the ensuing proposals. The commissions for registering membership, for the identity of supporters clubs, for tickets and away trips, and for campuses and activities gave their reports, the result of six months of hard work. All of this in order to reinforce the supporters club movement and demonstrate the Board of Directors’ commitment to the same.
