20th July 2010

Many thanks to all who attended our Annual General Meeting held on July 18th 2010. For those who were unable to attend please see below the major points of discussion from the meeting, and the changes that have been made to our football club for this coming season.

Committee Members:
Chairman – Steve Bailey
Treasurer – Glen De Young
Secretary – Dave Scholz
Fixture Secretary – Dave Scholz
1st Team Managers – Dave Scholz & Colin Hayman
1st Team Players Representative – Andy Hobbs
2nd Team Managers – Martyn Potter & Neil Kindred
2nd Team Players Representative – Mick Howells
Website Manager – Steve Bailey
Ashley Wood
Ricky Clanford
Jacqui De Young
Arren De Young
Chris Rowe
Beryl Morris

We are really pleased to have added 4 new members to our committee in Arren De Young, Chris Rowe, Mick Howells and Andy Hobbs, but we would still like to see more people showing an interest in getting involved.
We would particularly like some of the players to take charge of organizing social events (such as the sponsored 3 legged pub crawl we did last season) to help raise money for the club, if you can help out and want to join the committee or know someone outside the club who does, please let us know.

Andy and Mick have taken on the roles as 1st and 2nd team players representatives, this means that they will be able to bring up any issues that the players have throughout the season.
So if you are unhappy with something at the club, if you have something to say that you think will improve the club or if you simply think we need to organize a social night, don’t keep it to yourself, let Andy or Mick know your thoughts and they can bring it up at the next committee meeting and make sure something gets done about it.

Signing on fee:
It was agreed that the annual signing on fee should remain at £15.00 per player, this includes your membership to the social club, registration fee to the South Devon League and insurance costs.
Can all players please pay their signing on fees promptly before the start of the new season.

If it wasn’t for certain committee members’ hard work, the pitch would not be cut, rolled and marked for you every week, the changing rooms would not get painted and cleaned, the kit wouldn’t get washed, and you wouldn’t have any food after matches.
It is easy to just turn up every week and play football then go home and forget about it until the next Saturday.

Work to be done:
There is a lot of work to do around the changing rooms and pitch to get everything ready for this season, the away changing room needs painting, the dugouts need painting, the railings outside the changing rooms need painting, the compound needs clearing out, fence posts need replacing etc etc…

THIS SATURDAY 24th JULY we will be spending the day working on the pitch and changing rooms and are asking ALL PLAYERS and COMMITTEE MEMBERS to turn up and help out.
We will light a barbeque and cook up some burgers and hot dogs for everyone who turns up and will make sure we have a bit of a laugh whilst we are doing these jobs.
So can everyone please make a special effort to spare as much time as they can on Saturday to get the place up to standard for the start of the new season and show us your commitment to YOUR football club.

Don’t just leave it to the same people to do all the work for you, if you take them for granted they will not keep on doing it, so we look forward to seeing you there on Saturday to help out.

Thanks.
