Talking is cheap, people follow like sheep. Even though there is nowhere to go.

All BGFC youngsters are invited, no charge, so come and support the event. There are other stalls, keep fit, advice on diet etc.

Thank you to all those who supported Monday night’s meetings and Alex and myself will offer feedback to those it concerns. Thirteen at the Football Forum … super turn-out and thanks to Steve Sutton for taking the minutes.

Quick mention for David Bridge who has achieved his Level 1 … well done!

Under 9s have training as usual on Wednesday 6pm in the MUGA with Adrian followed by free food. Obviously, with so many walking away before the end of the season, we will need a few more players but the loyal ones will be well looked after and become part of the club’s future. Kick off on Saturday at home to West Farleigh is 10am so please let Damion, Adrian or DH know if you are available.

Monday, Monday …
