Fixtures
Training, 17 March 2007
Training this Saturday will be on the Astroturf at Wymondham Leisure Centre from 10.30am until 11.30am.
Thorpe, 18 March 2007
This is a home fixture kicking off at 11.30am at Kett’s Park once more. Let’s hope we’re not let down by the conditions yet again… So come on all the Mums and support your sons: after all, what else would you want to do on Mothering Sunday? {cough}
Could all the boys please make sure they’re there for 11.00am for warm-up and briefing and to support the Lizards who are on before us.
Please can the lads wear our home kits (Red/Black).
Jex, TBA
This is a home fixture. The league want us to play on Tuesday, 27th March in the evening but we can apparently agree something else with Jex. I was suggesting one of the Saturdays in March or April, but Our Man at the League was worried about the boys being able to do a Saturday and the following day. He did, however, say that we could play the Saturday over Easter, i.e. Saturday, April 7th, as we are not playing on Easter Sunday.
So, in an unprecedented example of democracy at work in what is ordinarily a benevolent dictatorship, could you please let me have your preference? I can then ignore them completely take the majority view on to speak with the Jex Manager.
Other Stuff
Presentation Event
A date for your diaries: our annual presentation event will be taking place on Sunday, 13th May. I’ll let you know more details as soon as I have them.
Wymondham High School
On the basis that we all enjoyed the facilities at Wymondham High School last Sunday, I had a meeting this morning with the Facilities Manager and the guy in charge of the upkeep of the pitches there (and a fellow High School Governor…).
The bad news is that we cannot play our matches there for the rest of the season as they will be preparing the area for a new athletics track.
The good news is that they may well be able to accommodate us there for the 2007/2008 season for our home matches. We will be discussing this with them over the coming months; from their perspective, a lot of the boys will be pupils there from next September, it’s Wymondham High School and we’re Wymondham Town and of course there’s the revenue to be derived as far as they’re concerned (the school has a lot of local community use of its facilities as part of its business management - well worth looking at if you’re doing community or indeed business-related events).
