BGFC ANTI SWEARING, SPITTING AND LITTER CAMPAIGN
As we are beginning to make positive steps forward in returning back to football, there are a few things that we would like to bring to everyone’s attention through our LITTER, SWEARING and SPITTING campaign.
SPITTING! Too many are doing it, children and adults.
May we ask you to educate kids of all ages and adults that spitting is repulsive, a danger to health and not nice!
May we ask you to think of some hygiene rules and manners regarding spitting, swearing and litter dropping.
It sets a bad example for the younger ones and yes they are just as bad as the adults but they follow footsteps who are older than them.
This is one of the things we have to consider as it is a real danger in the near future. Coronavirus has brought a lot of fear and sadness to many, including the football world. As soon as we are back and up to some sort of “normal” the better. So please be more mindful, spitting puts others at risk of airborne or transferable diseases.
By us all being more aware of our actions with SPITTING, LITTER DROPPING and using BAD LANGUAGE, we can return back with positivity.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
Michelle Edwards on behalf of the Executive Committee
Sad update: we have received bad news that Bob Leaning passed away this morning. It is four years ago this month that Bob received the 60 years Long & Meritorious Award from the Kent FA. He will be greatly missed by the local footballing fraternity and we offer sincere condolences to his wife Jackie and family. RIP Bob Leaning.
Happy birthday today to Thomas Hawkins and Steve Jeffrey!
