HRBFC vs Poole Town, Saturday 8 Oct 3pm

hrbfcHampton & Richmond Borough FC welcomes NPL Youth FC as its club of the week on Saturday 8th October.

Members of our under 11 boys' are representing the club by participating in the guard of honour as the players of HRBFC and Poole Town, and will also provide a demonstration in the art of penalty taking on the pitch at half time.

Tickets for the game can be purchased at the NPLSC Clubhouse.

A ticket for each player entitles up to two adults to attend the match for £7 each (as opposed to the usual admission fee of £12) and up to three under 16s free of charge. In addition, when attending the match the ticket will be validated, enabling reuse on the same terms for a second league match at any point this season.

Under 12 (Season 2016/17) goalkeeper needed

An opportunity has opened for a goalkeeper to join our team and help us continue our development and success.

NPL provides goalkeeper training on a bi-weekly basis, which is run by an extremely good QPR coach.

Apologies

Steven Bates, Adrian Luckins, James Fillingham, Antony Weir, Ian Westover, Nick Rush, Peter Bolger

Matters Arising

Tournament

Tournament Feedback Overview

Summary: of the responses 86% rated the tournament as excellent. The responses represented about a third of participants (bearing in mind that no NPL managers responded). !00% of respondents said that they would attend another event. Pitches were good.

Couple of complaints about toilets (too far away!), overpriced food & refreshments

WP: how many responded? – roughly a third

JC: CS recommends increasing to £40

WP: what about similar model to Brockham i.e.not pay on the door? offset this on cost of entry?

Chair would like minuted special thanks to ground staff for pitches, and for their cooperation for the event.

JC: want to be shadowed next year so that he can step away the year after.

Reports

Reports for minutes

Summary from Secretary: increasing teams by 3 next season. Good move to EBFA away from E&E (less admin, teams report positive season)

SP: suggest our refs report fines to us for home games instead of the FA, so that we can fine players directly and get the revenue rather than the FA

Committee

NPLYFC Committee 2016-2017

Allison McGann has stepped down as EBFA Secretary. JC to take this role because nobody else has volunteered. WP noted that the additional workload on the Chair is not acceptable and we should find someone. SP offered to go to the EBFA meetings, while JC would do the registration. AGREED.

WP agreed to take on ref management from JC to ease his workload.

JC to circulate role of child welfare. FA prefer a club to have 2 officers – hence asst role. TC will carry on role until a substitute is found. Will also need an asst.

Vacant Roles:

  • Assistant Child Welfare Officer
  • Social Secretary
  • Sponsorship Coordinator
  • (Kit coordinator – see below)

Roles needing new volunteer

  • EBFA Secretary
  • Child Welfare Officer

WP: need to create and maintain role descriptions for all voluntary roles

Kit Partnership

Signed a deal with Nike, which will save us money in long term, as well as providing some other benefits:

  • £2700 to spend on coaching courses.
  • £11.25 credit to spend on next year
  • courtesy tickets & events

We will phase the current kits out and phase in Nike Park (as teams require). JC has created a list of teams that are eligible (2 year rotation)

SP: should have a kit coordinator
