2/1/12. 1st Team Manager Unable To Continue !!
It is with regret that I have to announce the resignation of 1st Team manager Oz Marks, due to work commitments.He is in a difficult situation with regard to availability for training and match days, and feels that without 100% commitment, it's not fair on the team and the Club. He has done a great job in the time that he has been with the Club, and we thank him most sincerely for his work, and hope that he will still be a member and offer his services as a player whenever the need arises and he is available.

The team will be taken over by Andy Haines, with the help of myself until a permanent appointment can be made. Hopefully this will be done at the next committee meeting on Monday Jan 9th.

In the meantime all club players are asked to attend training this coming Wednesday at the Astro, 6 till 7.30. All first team squad members are asked to text their mobile numbers to Andy on 07790290127 as soon as possible. Like NOW.

Thanks

Rich Pinkus
