Dear players and parents,
Firstly, we would like to take this chance to welcome you to the 2014 football season. The club is very excited about a number of initiatives that we have planned for this season and beyond. These initiatives are, in part, due to the valuable feedback we have received from the junior football survey and also from the hard work the volunteer management committee has undertaken to turn some of our ambition into reality via our strategic plan (an announcement from the club president will circulate soon). Accordingly, there are a number of thank you's we would like to make and if not for our hard working volunteers including coaches, managers, ground staff, canteen conveners, subcommittee members, management committee members, match day helpers and so on, we would not function as a club. Moreover, we are very happy to have retained Gerry McAvoy as our Technical Director in 2014 and we look forward to again working with Gerry.
