End of 2008/9 Season Newsletter

As the season is drawing to a close I thought it was time to let you know about various dates.

Firstly for those who don’t know, the Under 14’s have reached the Tandridge League Cup Final. This is being played on Sunday 19th April 2009, at Whyteleafe Football Club, 15 Church Road, Whyteleafe, Surrey CR3 0AR. Kick off 2 p.m.

Also the U13’s have a championship decider on Sunday 19th April 2009 at KCCC kick off 2 p.m. I am sure both teams would like any support you can give them.

The final training sessions of the season will be on Thursday/Friday 23rd/24th April. On the 24th April 2009 there will be a Mangers meeting at 7.30 p.m. in the clubhouse. Please can every team make sure they have a representative present.

A reminder from Tony - If you owe him money, please pay ASAP, as we would like to finalise the club accounts for the season.

The Player of the Season event will take place on Saturday 30th May 2009 from7.00 p.m. at The Penge Conservative Club, 55 Croydon Road, London SE20 7TG. Tickets will be £3 per person. Please can you let your team manager know whether you are going to attend and pay them direct.

Following recent discussions, Tony, Nick and I hare hoping to take less of a role in the running of the Club next season. We are certainly not leaving the Club altogether, however personal commitments for us all have changed and we feel we cannot dedicate as much time as is required for the Club to function properly. We are therefore looking for someone to take over as Club Secretary, Club Treasurer and possibly a Registrations Officer. This however may be something that can be discussed with the managers. Tony and I will support and help anyone who volunteers to take on these roles. If you are interested in taking on one of these roles, please let your team manager know. We will discuss this in more detail and length with the team managers at the meeting on 24th April.

Finally, I would like to thank all the players, parents and coaches for what I think as been a successful season.
