50/50 winner (12th October) Julie Broomfield (U15s) £45. Our thanks to Julie who donated £20 back to club funds. Each week we collect all the tickets sold, and hold the draw in the clubhouse on a Sunday night. This week Weddle picked out the winning ticket.

 

So far this season - just six weeks - we've paid out over £190 in fees to the referees. We have had lots of support this season from parents and supporters buying 50/50 tickets and we do thank you all. Nearly £250 has also gone back to the winners of the 50/50 over the 6 week period, so it really is worth doing. That includes 1 x U16 parent, 1 x U15 parent, 1 x U12 parent, 1 x U8 parent, 1 x U8/U12 supporter and 1 x Caldecote Club House member. Fantastic. Thank you all again.

Biggleswade Chronicle Vouchers

Please remember to collect these from the paper and send into your manager on a regular basis.

 

“Meet at” and “Kick Off” Times

Please check each week with your manager at training sessions as to the confirmed times - meeting and kick off as arrangements do change sometimes during the week. For all “away” games, your manager should have received confirmation from the opposition as to where the match will be held. The website will be updated regularly now the season is underway and should have all the latest information.

 

Match Days. Could we remind all players please to turn up to each and every match in their windjammers (if they have them). It is important the teams look smart up to and during the match. Windjammers need to be worn if you are a sub on the sideline at any time during the match to ensure there is no question as to who is playing on pitch.

 

Can we also remind parents and players to stand well back from the pitch please at matches. The only people on or close to the side line should be the manager and linesman.

 

2008/9 Season

Best of Luck to everyone for the new season.

 

Our thanks are extended to Ben Jackson, unfortunately not able to run and U17s this year but Ben, Sonia and family are dedicated members of the club and will still be around alot of the time. Ben has taken on the role of "Vice-Chair" and is pleased to offer help and training advice to all teams.

 

Our appreciation and thanks also go to Chris Capon who has stepped down as Chairman of the Club. Despite only being in place for a short time, Chris has made a valuable contribution to the club and we wish John Millar and Ben Jackson every sucess in the role of Chair and Vice Chair for the future.
