The initial idea of the Fund was to provide the club with funds to acquire players, either on loan or as a purchase.
After a meeting with Dean Wilkins at the beginning of last season, it was decided, and announced, to channel the funds (seeing as they rarely met the costs of any player acquisitions) into assisting with video technology to improve players' abilities and towards a hear-rate monitor to indicate fitness levels.
To this end, any funds in the kitty are still going towards that.
The details of the current level of funds are with someone else - I don't have that information at present.

I contributed to the £40 note fund last year. I've no idea how the money was spent as I received not so much as a thankyou or acknowledgement of the regular monthly contribution. I did suggest incentivising the fund - VIP day at Withers, certificate, chance to see where the money went but never heard anything back.
Never saw the finances either. Think I'm gonna pass on this, this year.

How about a 50 a side football match?

My post sounded bitter and that wasn't the intent. What I was clumsily trying to say was that without and end product it didn't feel like I contributed anything to help the club.
Seriously, if you want to get it off the ground this year then please can you get a bit of club tie-in. A way of them saying thanks that would cost them sweet FA, such as a draw from the list of contributors for a signed match shirt, a VIP day at Withers, a few gratis tickets that sort of thing.

Wow. I think it's very generous of the club to offer each fan £40, given the shite that's been served up this season.
I'll be sending them my bank details straight away.

So is there any truth in HB&B's "announcement" that there is going to be "a big relaunch" of the Fund "soon"?

I can neither confirm nor deny, principally because it's news to me.

The days of the forty note fund seem so long ago but they really weren't - happy days. Ben Robert's wages and the like.....
