Good Afternoon,
A few updates before the start of the season this Friday.
KIT: The kit orders have finally been finalized. It has been a long process and has taken George and me much more time and effort than we thought. However, we are finally there. This does mean there will be a slight delay in delivery however the white kit has a 2-3-week turnaround, so we are hopeful to have that before the start of the league season. If any one is in desperate need of kit let me know as I have 4-5 sets, I can loan out. Pease do not buy any playing kit or jumpers off the club shop until Surridge post the sponsored kit on there.
SUBSCRIPTIONS: We have collected £5237.80 in monies, including annual subs, coloured kit and white kit with just a small balance of £595.00 to collect. We only have 4 outstanding annual subs, 4 coloured kits at £10 and 11 white kits at £20. All by the end of March is definitely a record. So, thank you to everyone for paying up! If you haven’t paid (I won’t name and shame!) please pay as soon as you are able to.
FANTASY LEAGUE: We currently have 23 teams registered for the fantasy league. We would love to get that to 50 and with 50 playing members that shouldn’t be too difficult. Please login and register your team.

SPONSORSHIP: George has don’t a fantastic job at raising the club’s profile on social media and raising sponsorship to fund 90% of our new white and coloured kit. We are up to 12 sponsors and have raised just under £5000! We are offering the opportunity to sponsor each match ball and so far, we have raised over 350 pounds. If you or anyone you know would like to take advantage of our match ball sponsorship at just £25 per ball, please contact George or James. You can view all the details on our SNAP site:

CLUB HOUSE AND GROUNDS: Nathan has managed to get the roller and the mower onto the square. The outfield is still very wet however hopefully this week’s good weather will speed up the drying process. Nick has been going great guns in the club house including repairing and repainting the changing rooms and toilets. Th entire front fence of the club will be replaced this month including new signs. Gav cook will be repairing the windowsills over the next few weeks and then we will repaint the exterior of the club house. The matts have been rolled out for net practise in line with government guidelines.
DIVISION ONE UPDATE: Unfortunately, Waltham Wanderers have folded as a club. This means that Division 1 will be completed with only 9 teams and 16 games each. We will try to fill in those 2 Saturdays with Friendlies
AVAILABILITY AND SELECTION: All selection and availability is done via the website. If you have not made yourself available, we will assume you are unavailable. With 50 playing members this year we will be using the website for selection. Any password or login issues please let me know.
