Chairman’s Report
FS welcomed all. FS advised he had established a Group on Facebook and
encouraged all to sign up to the group.

Secretary’s Report
Correspondence already circulated.
Advised that Respect barriers has been ordered but no delivery date had yet been
given
Suggested looking at a single training slot on a mutually agreeabke time and date so
all Club could train at same venue at same time

Treasurer’s Report
Jon advised he was coming to terms with paperwork and had requested copies of
documents and statements not already in his hands to ensure subs etc are up to date.
JR hoped to have set of accounts ready in the near future.

CWO Update
No CWO had yet been appointed as the person would need to have a current and valid
CRB search and have completed the Protecting Children workshop. As Mandi
Jenkins was one of a few who held the full set she generously volunteered to step into
the role.
CWOand Child Protection courses are in March and May and applications will be
made to ensure the Club has adequate cover.
GW and FS to meet up with Jaynie and get the CWOm paperwork from her.

Coaches/ Football Update
U14 Craig advised just won first game. Team playing good football and whilst
promotion has given them a challenge he is pleased with the efforts and quality of
play.

Chairmans Shield to be handed over to Craig for 2007/2008 season

U10 Stuart advised he had 11 palyers albeit 5 remain playing above age. Ideally
would like to split team next year and those playing above age could stay at U10.
Generally pleased with progress in the first season.

U11 Kev advised following promotion they are 4th in League and in quarter final of
cup. Squad of 12 and playing well albeit some players are not very strong.

Fund Raising etc
Whilst karen had been doing fundraising her absence was noted and it was agreed FS
would drop her a note accordingly. In the meantime we should start to plan to ensure
we statrt some impetus.

Looking to arrange Presentation Evening but not sure about venue. Rugby Club has
been ruled our due to cost so alternatives being sought (eg Perdiswell etc).
Another tournament will be arranged for May/June. Locations etc will be considered
to enable pitches etc to be established.

Bed Push to be considered with adults and kids gaining sponsorship. A date has yet
to be determined

Penalty shoot out sponsorship has worked before and this is something that may be
considered.

Was agreed it would be good to arrange an Easter social event for all to enjoy.
Options to be considered.

Coaches to start to consider the trophies they would want for presentation evening
Update to be given at next committee meeting

Any Other Business
