Presentation night

noreply@blogger.com (steph young) — Sat, 07 Jun 2008 14:47:00 +0000

Well, that's that for another season. All matches played, all goals scored or conceded, all cups fought for, and won or lost. Last Tuesday we thanked the managers and coaches, the parents, helpers and sponsors; but most of all we celebrated the achievements of the Crosspool teams, and the individual players who make up those teams. We said goodbye to two managers, James Barnes and James Foulser and wish them well in their new ventures.

We were thrilled to have Leanne Hall (former England women's goalkeeper and now Leeds coach) there to hand out the trophies. Katie Grant, one of the u12 keepers, handed her a bouquet of flowers. Photo courtesty of DEPhoto.

DEphotos were there on the night to record those special moments and you can still order prints, see their website http://www.dephotos.co.uk/album.html .

I'd like to thanks Sue and Ray for being on the door; Sally for organising the trophies, the raffle prizes and compering on the night; Adrian for supplying the projector: Andrew for the slide show; Anthony and Chris for helping to set up; all the managers who sold tickets and made sure their players knew where and when the celebration was happening; but most of all thanks to the players who during the evening were well behaved, respectful of the other teams getting their awards, smiled nicely for their photos and, as always, are a credit to the club.

Double Double

Having already won their respective leagues the u9 and u10 went to Outu Kumpu today to try for the double.

They were up against worthy opponents and had to battle hard to get their eventual wins 1-0 for the u9s, 2-1 for the u10s.

Other league results
U12s (11 a-side) came 2nd in the A division, u12s (7 a-side) were 3rd in their B division; u11 and u 13s were 3rd in their A divisions. A good set of results all round, well done girls and managers.

under new management (well some of it)

noreply@blogger.com (steph young) — Sun, 02 Dec 2007 17:59:00 +0000

Due to some resignations in the previous few weeks, there are a few new faces at the committee table. Randall was voted in as Chairman, Antony Rossiter as treasurer, Sally Grant as minutes secretary. Girls secretary post was made a committee post, in line with the boys side, this is Sally again. We are pleased to welcome Stephen Wilson, who has joined the team as the nursery squad manager.
There was no volunteer for the post of boys secretary. This is a vital position in the club, the person who acts as the contact point between the managers and the league. Sally Grant is acting as club secretary but as she is already the girls-side secretary, and knows nothing about the workings of the boys leagues,it is not feasible or desirable for her to take on the role of boys secretary. Someone from the boys teams needs to take this role, and quickly. If you're a boys team manager and haven't already got a committee position,or recently undertaken one, it could be you....

Christmas draw tickets

noreply@blogger.com (steph young) — Sun, 02 Dec 2007 17:52:00 +0000

The Christmas draw tickets need to be sold and stubs and money returned to your manager by Tuesday 11th December at the latest. Don't hold onto unsold tickets until the last minute, bring them back so we can give them to someone else to sell. If you haven't been given any to sell, ask your team manager. This is a big fund-raiser for the club, but it does need everyone to put some effort in :)

Many thanks to Jo Squiers who ran the bodyshop party and gave her commission to the club funds. We raised £60 and earned ourselves some lovely Bodyshop goodies for the raffle.

AGM - 7.30pm - 18th November - Coldwell Lane

noreply@blogger.com (steph young) — Mon, 15 Oct 2007 14:37:00 +0000

The AGM will be at Coldwell Lane again this year. We have some important business to get through. We need nominations for treasurer and chairman. Paul Wainwright resigned officially as chairman at lastnight's managers' meeting. If you want to nominate anyone, please let me know (steph(at)iomwebs.net). In the meantime Randall Cousins is Acting-Chairman.The committee are also proposing to have the girls' secretary as a committee post to bring it in line with the boys side.

On the social side, we will run a raffle; if you have a prize to donate, please give it to your manager, or bring it along on the night. Teas and coffees will be served after the meeting as usual. Come and meet the managers, committee and parents from other teams.

Baldwin's night out

noreply@blogger.com (steph young) — Mon, 08 Oct 2007 19:43:00 +0000

Well, after a few teething problems, a last-minute rush on tickets saw around 60 friends of Crosspool JFC dressed in their best togs arriving at Baldwin's Omega last Friday. Sue worked very hard to get the event up and running and we presented her with a bouquet of flowers to show our appreciation.
The meal was lovely, the staff were attentive and very helpful. We raffled a pair of gloves, to be signed by Gordon Banks, who has a personal connection to Crosspool. And then the talk inevitably turned to football, so at that point I went to dance....I went home at a reasonable hour; but I heard that some people were last seen dancing across Hunter's Bar round-about.....
Many thanks to those who put their hands in their pockets;considering we have 17 teams with, over 200 players, with around 400 parents, this is not an overwhelming turn out, let's hope any future fund-raisers are better supported.

AGM & Treasurer

noreply@blogger.com (steph young) — Mon, 10 Sep 2007 15:31:00 +0000

The club AGM will be on 18th November 2007. We've not sorted the venue yet, but get the date in your diary. (sorry, I did put the 12th nov earlier, please correct your diary)
Treasurer
Ed has decided to step down in the near future. Our thanks go to him, I know he has done a lot of work on this, and will see the job through the busiest time of the year. If anyone has a burning ambition to be the next club treasurer please let me, Ed or Paul know and we'll talk you through the job. The ideal hand-over is in the run-up to the AGM so that the new person can be voted in properly.

Charity donation

noreply@blogger.com (steph young) — Wed, 20 Jun 2007 17:16:00 +0000

Sue (U12 coach) has kindly donated several sets of kit for the club to send to a school in Zambia. Mary Grafton, of the charity http://www.ituna.net/ , came to Tuesday night practice in the park to take delivery of the kit. Two of the u9 girls modelled some of the kit, just before it rained. The club is also donating £100, which was raised last year for charitable purposes. We wish Mary, her family and all the other volunteers every success in their forthcoming trip to Zambia and we want to see some photos of the kit being put to good use :)
