News Flash (U 10's)

Hello everyone ,

What a great game to finish the season on Sunday , A very fitting end to all the hard work the boys put in , Also Wayne Leigh,Luke had a bit to do with it as well .

This Thursday the 29th will be the last training session until the 3rd of June , and also to see Kelly for tickets for the 9th , presentation day , to be runner's up in any league is a day to be celebrated ,and I am sure the boys will enjoy it,

As most of you know Devon is leaving Whitchurch to return to where he first started soccer school aged 5,needless to say he has enjoyed his time playing with the boys here and is proud to have done his bit to gain promotion , and we will all take a keen interest in the future of the club,


Good Luck to all Dave

News Flash (U 10's)

HI Everyone ,
training will take place on a thurs the 6th at 6pm night (date to be confirmed) at Imperial , junc West Town lane and Sturminster road ,
This is the result of negotiation between Whit church FC and the ground management .
Next season it will be the home of the club for all games and training , as the club has outgrown the facilities of Hengrove Athletic

It also means that annual prize day [ provisionally booked for may 9th ] will also take place at imperial with use of function room and astro pitch from 12 noon till 7 pm,with other games included to make a great day out , catering has not been finalized at this time.

As I'm off to Cornwall on fri for a week I;ve quickly put this news out because I think it is a very big step foreword for the club , and will allow it to grow even more ,and it will give you all a chance to digest the info before our next fixture ,as I;m sure there will be views and questions to be exchanged .

Hi everyone

Training sessions will continue until the end of March at West Town lane.
We will then be looking for another pitch for a month because Norton lane is unavailable, having to accommodate all the games that have backed up during the winter.
Anyone with a very large back garden?????
It is possible we have a sponsor for a new strip, we would like to find another to replace track suits.


Now is the time to be thinking about tournaments this summer. They have to be booked in advance and some of the better ones get filled up quickly.
It is also necessary to have as much feedback as possible to ascertain if you want to go , how many do you think we should apply for ? and where ?
It has been suggested that we go farther a field to play teams in a different league, they can be a very enjoyable day out but it is a full day’s commitment some are held on a sat or sun.
The lads came very close to winning last year and to pick up a trophy or 2 would be the icing on the cake.
I have watched nearly all of there games this season and can see how much they have improved.

The change to paying subs on the first of the month was a success, lot less hassle and helps when needed to book tournaments, hopefully will have more to write about next time when we have some dates to confirm.

Decisions made at meeting 21st February

Hi everyone.
On Sunday a meeting was held to discuss the future and how we go forward. Wayne opened with the problems of making up the team sheet on match days when players arrive late, also parents of players in the first team leaving early, it was agreed with all present that, when possible, everyone to be there by 10am and stay till the end of play. Of course there will be times when this is not possible, but please to inform Wayne by text before 10. There will be more effort to keep the team not playing to stay together in a group .

The next item was subs. The fee for training will be £10 per month in advance starting on 1st March to be paid if attending or not this was unanimously agreed by all present. After some discussion it was agreed that match day subs to be collected on the day, with Sue and Kelly volunteering to collect from their respective sides .

Other topics discussed: training will be moved back to Norton Lane in the near future but generally agreed that evening to be better than sat morning, so it may be Thursday evening, cannot be more definite till agreed with club , also water bottles to be kept by the players who will be responsible for their own drinks, these to be placed in the crate at start of session so that they can access them at half time without leaving the pitch , also to wear club kit including tracksuit if possible to all games. Those who have grown out of their tracksuits to wear Whitchurch badged hoodies or raincoats

On a personal note I would like to thank Clive for the excellent tops he donated to all the boys as I am sure all would agree .

This is the first time I have done a news letter, and as I am not Oxbridge educated there will be mistakes made, but this first attempt is for the parents who were unable to attend the meeting to keep them informed .

Wayne hopes to hold another in the near future as there will be other items for discussion , there will be another letter shortly when some of these changes have taken place , if anyone has a topic or view to put forward please let me know ,

The fat bald one sat on a buggy .
