As detailed in the last email to all parents the club has been accepted into the FA Mentoring Scheme. This allows us to recieve our own dedicated FA Mentor (Mark Wells) who will be in attendance at our training sessions and will also attend the clubs manager meetings. Mark has already attended one training session and one meeting last week, he has emailed us with some very positive feedback, he believes the club is in a healthy state and was very impressed by the commitment of the committee and the range of players receiving football through the club (Boys, Girls, Cerebral Palsy). Please contact any of the committee if you want more details.

Following our decision to support Noahs Big Charity, the club will be having a large photo taken at this Saturdays training session at Westlands with the Charities Founder Richard Hobden. All teams with new kit are asked to have all players wearing the new shirts ready for 10.30 so a picture can be taken and an article then submitted to the Romford Recorder.

Thanks to the teams who supported the event on the 2nd September at Burstead Golf Club. Unfortunately only 15 could attend but with some kind anonymous donations the club raised £315 to go towards new club kit for the players. More social events will be notified of in due course.
