It was a pivotal night in the Carlisle United takeover, as Tom Piatak and his family set out their plans at a CUOSC members' meeting.
Nearly 200 fans attended in person whilst another 200 watched a live stream of the event, which was held in the Halston Hotel.
The American businessman gave a presentation before taking questions from supporters, and then he and his family chatted to fans after the meeting.
Photographer Barbara Abbott was there to capture the scenes on what may prove a key occasion in the Cumbrians' history.
