- Message from our Chairman, Paul Carter -
We now have Clubmark accreditation. The accreditation dates from 8th August and I am arranging a time to meet Dave Letch to collect the Certificate.
This is a great achievement for the club. It shows we are a well run and managed club that is “safe effective and child friendly” and it should hopefully encourage membership to know we are adhering to the relevant guidelines. It is also a requirement for next year's league to be Clubmark accredited, otherwise the 1st XI would have been relegated rather than promoted.
I would personally like to thank all of those who have helped in securing this status. Now the hard work has been done in attaining it, it is up to everyone in the club to make sure it’s maintained.
I will be sending out periodic requests for help/assistance to make sure we remain fully compliant. - 30th August 2011
