03rd February 2009:

Now that the dust has settled on various developments over the last month Buckfastleigh Rangers would like to announce the following changes at the club:

Firstly it is with regret that we have to announce that long serving secretary Tim Crimp has made the decision to step away from his position at the club and take a well earned break from football.
Tim has been a tremendous asset to the club over the years and his hard work and dedication will be sorely missed, everyone at the club would like to say a big thank you to Tim for the work he has done for Buckfastleigh Rangers Football Club.

Taking over from Tim as Club Secretary will be youth team Secretary Teresa Hill, Teresa is doing a tremendous job in her new role and we would like to thank her for taking over from where Tim left off.
Thanks also go to Stuart Furay who has taken on the position of Matchday Secretary.

It has been well documented that it was our intention to withdraw our 1st team from the South West Peninsula League next season, we had informed the league of our intentions before christmas as per league rules, however, since this has become public knowledge, we have found it increasingly hard to keep hold of the 1st team players for one reason or another and Manager Richard Cameron felt he was left with little option but to resign from his position.
With no Manager and no 1st team players we were left with no option but to pull out of the league with immediate effect, for which the club have been fined accordingly.

We plan to apply the the South Devon League next season for a reserve side to be entered into division 6, this would mean that the current reserve side would then become the first team (hopefully in division 2!).

Although we would have liked to have seen the season out with 2 teams, the committee feel that the decisions that have been made are for the good of the club and see it as taking a small step backwards in order to be in a position to move forwards, it is also our hope that with two sides operating in the South Devon League we will be able to involve more local players and especially local youngsters more readily than we have been able to in the past.

News travels fast in a small town and the initial reaction from local residents and businesses has been very positive as has the response from Buckfastleigh Rangers Social Club, it is fair to say that the relationship between Football and Social club has not always been perfect, but with this fresh start both committees are now set towards achieving the same goal of giving the town of Buckfastleigh a football and social club that it can be proud to call its own.
