Dear Parents,

I have been secretary of the West Kirby Wasps Pre-league football club for the past six years. As my son is now an Under 12, I have decided that it is time for me to move over and let someone else take the helm.  I am very proud of all the club has achieved over the past six years, recently achieving Charter Standard Development Club status. There are over 120 children registered in the four age groups from Under 6 through to Under 9, with waiting lists for each one. There are enough players to register teams in both the Ellesmere Port mini soccer league and the Wirral mini soccer league..

The West Kirby Wasps has gained an excellent reputation across Wirral, and indeed throughout the North West, and is held in high esteem by the Cheshire County F.A.  I have thoroughly enjoyed my time as secretary, seeing the club go from strength to strength, and it goes without saying that I will give as much support as I can during the handover process and beyond, where necessary.

May I take this opportunity to thank all those who volunteer their time every week to ensure the smooth running of the club, and to all the players for their exemplary behaviour.  I have enclosed a brief job description and will gladly discuss this with any prospective candidates. The role of secretary is a vital one, and the position will need to be filled as soon as possible.

Yours in Sport

You can meet your manager and coaches in informal surroundings and ask all those questions to which you have always wanted to know the answer.

PRESENTATION DAY/COLOUR SQUADS
11.00 a.m. Saturday 20th.May 2006. Hilbre High School, Frankby Road

Presentation day and the colour squad’s tournament this year will be themed along the lines of the World Cup. As usual, we will combine the 6’s & 7’s and the 8’s & 9’s into equal ability squads, therefore it is important that as many children attend as possible. We will then give them a team name of a country in the cup. All games, including the final will be played on one afternoon. The awards ceremony will take place at the conclusion of the tournament. In order to make this a fun occasion it is our intention to have events such as a bouncy castle, tombola, food, raffle and a new and used sports goods stall. This event will of course entail a lot of organisation, and so anyone wishing to volunteer his or her services on the day should contact me directly. Raffle prizes would be gratefully appreciated.
You will be able to purchase a programme with the team T-Shirt for each player on the day. Cost to be confirmed.

ADULTS SUMMER BASH
