In the first of a new series, Chairman Joe Cusack gives us his thoughts on the Club:<\/p>\n
I hope that the first half of the season has been enjoyable for the boys, girls and their peers and you have been able to see the children and young men developing there range of talent. As a club we are here to make sure that the all enjoy the experience and that is very important moving forward.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\nThis year we have been luck to offer our kitchen services and I would like to thank Sian and Helen for their continuing support in manning this. If I have missed anyone then I am sorry for this.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\nAs Christmas and New Year is approaching I would like to thank all of the committee for all of the support over the years.<\/strong><\/p>\nI would like to remind everyone that this is your club and the committee members are volunteers that provide time to make sure that this is run in the right manner. If you do have any concerns or suggestion\u2019s, please do not hesitate to contact your age group manager, who will raise this within our monthly meetings.<\/strong><\/p>\nUnfortunately we are losing a valuable member and a great coach who has been instrumental for the under 9\u2019s age group and has also helped train the under 17\u2019s. Dale Burke is currently an employee within the RAF and he has been promoted which will require him and his family to move to Lincolnshire.\u00a0 On a personal level I would like to congratulate Dale on his promotion and wish him well for the future as would all involved within the club.<\/strong><\/p>\nWe would all like to wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year.<\/strong><\/p>\n![\"santa_claus_loves_football_soccer\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fairfordlechladeyfc.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/santa_claus_loves_football_soccer.jpg?resize=640%2C450\")
