THANKS
A word of thanks to the small band of volunteers who
gave up a few hours of their time last Saturday to carry out some much needed
maintenance to the pitch. Without voluntary help such as this going on behind
the scenes, the Club would fail to function and there’s always some odd job to
be done around the Club. Maybe you have a skill or trade that can be put to use
a few hours a week or a month? If so and you would like to help out in some way
(and it need not necessarily be football-related!) please let us know!
