Training Sessions
The juniors last training sessions will be Wednesday 21st July 2010 and Saturday 24th July 2010.
ALL TRAINING WILL RESUME W/C 6th SEPTEMBER 2010.
It has been proposed that the ladies move to a Wednesday and we will see it we can get the 7pm -9pm slot. This will give them use of a full pitch. As a club we should not lose this as the footballers will claim it. This will then give the men a full pitch on a Thursday.
Ideas welcome!
New Proposed Training Times:-
- Wednesday 6pm -7pm
- Minis /Under 14’s mixed
- Wednesday 7pm -9pm Ladies (Joni to ask Ladies).
- Thursday 7pm – 9pm Men
- Saturday 9am-10am Family
Membership Idea
To try and pull players back into the club it is proposed that if you bring a new player into the fold then that player will get a reduction in the next year’s membership fee. The new player will need to stay for a complete season for this to apply. Also the new player will receive 2 free sessions and 1 match fee wavered. They must pay after this. Tracy will keep a record of new players and who introduced them to the club so reductions can be made the following season.
Congratulations!
Congratulations goes to “The Wedding Crashers!” for winning the Plate at this years Islanders Tournament!
First Aid Courses
January or February next year the club is looking to organising a first aid course. For us to hold a course within the club I need to find 24 people. Again for us to regain our club 1st we need first aiders. With the new rules every team must now have 2 qualified first aiders at every match and we must also have 3plus at training sessions. If you would like to attend the course please let Paul Webb know (Club First Aid Coordinator) on webbyhouse@sky.com or 02392 617716.
More information to follow.
Help Required!
We need volunteers to go on courses. For us to regain our club 1st status I am looking for people to attend “Child Welfare / Equity in your coaching (this must be a coach) / equity in your club”. It has been noted that it is always the same people attending courses. These courses last usually 2-3 hours one evening and cover the club for 3 years.
