Sunday Matches: We are going to try 9:45 and 10:45 kick offs at Pinkie this year as 9:30 is sometimes a bit rushed in getting the pitch ready and a proper warm up done. We'll see how it goes and change back if necessary. However, I can't emphasis enough how much of a difference it makes to the Coaches when the parents help out with the goals before and after a game. If we all muck in it makes things simpler and quicker and your help is really appreciated.

Training: We will probably start training on the Astro at Pinkie on Tuesday 21st September but I will confirm this in due course. We will probably go with the same arrangements as last year in respect of 2000 & 2001 groups timings.

New Strips: Hopefully everyone now has the correct size of strip. I will arrange for the Sponsors name to be printed on the ones who needed a change and will let you know when this will be done.   There is no need to return the old strips, the players can keep them.

Sponsors: We now only require one new Sponsor. If anyone knows any businesses who might like to help us out get them to call me. £250 will get a set of strips for a team and this will last for two years, so it is not too much hopefully if any business was thinking of it.

Tesco Vouchers -We banked over 3000 at the end of June (we already have over 2000 "banked" from previous years), so thank you for your support.

Old Training Kit & Boots - If you have any old training kit or boots lying doing nothing, please hand it in to me and I can collate it and pass it on to a relevant charity. The Club are looking at passing kit onto Morocco but, if that doesn't happen I will look into getting it to Malawi again or a charity.  

Contact Details - Please ensure we hold up to date contact details for you so your coach can keep you informed of any late changes to information, particularly on a Sunday morning. Can you ensure your coach has an up-to-date contact number for you (preferably mobile) but also inform me so I can keep the central register up to date. Send me an email to jjhood@btinternet.com as this will also allow me to issue information to you by email as well. I need address, home number and one (or two) mobile numbers. There is also a health and safety issue here, in case we need to contact you in an emergency. If you don't have email just let me have a piece of paper with the details.
