Parents are asked to liaise with their managers, as we ask the parents to make sandwiches etc. to keep the costs down. Soft drinks will be supplied but if you require stronger drinks you will have to bring your own.

Horrabridge Rangers Sports Association AGM will be held on June 19th in The Village Hall which is opposite The London Inn starting at 7.30pm all members of the Club are cordially invited.

The Club is on a massive growth spiral and parental input is required at all levels.

The junior teams have had very good season, with all teams playing exceptionally well at their respective age groups. The Executive Committee have watched many of the games played at home and away. The attitude of all players’ and management staff has been exceptional from September right the way through to April.

We feel that it will be great thing for all as a Charter Standard Applicant to portray a smart, unified image and do everything possible to look after the players that we have as well as attract new players.

The Club is at present actively seeking sponsorship and at the time of writing was in negotiations with a number of companies. We need a large amount of new equipment for the 03/04 season from football kits to goal nets. Work to attract sponsorship is driven by Ian Mulholland. Any club member who knows of a company or individual who would like to support the Club and who needs a sponsor pack contact Ian through your manager.

During the summer Horrabridge will be holding our annual Football Tournament the dates for these are; Boys Under 9’s Saturday 28^th June, Under10’s Sunday 29^th June, Under 11’s Saturday 5^th July, Girls Under10’s, Under12’s & Under14’s Sunday 6^th July, Boys Under12’s Saturday 12^th July, Under14’s Sunday 13^th July.

If you have any problems with this speak to your manager/coach.

Parents are a big factor in this club and we need your participation as well as your child’s.

We are a young and growing youth organisation which needs a lot of helpers, in many forms, especially as helpers on match days; to collect subs, wash kit, collect and move children to & from games or even fill in the team sheet to give the manager more time with the team.

The Club are in the process of creating a new web site which will include up to date results for every team, coming fixtures and news from the club along with all the club policies, codes of conduct, development plans and articles on club history. We would also welcome your comments and ideas on web site content. It is hoped to turn this web site into the most up to date and authoritative information source there is on the club.

The newsletters will keep you up to date on the clubs electronic developments.

The Charter Standard is a really important word in the Youth Football world. It says to people that you are a well organised, well run & well thought of in the area. To come in line for this we will have to draw up new codes of conduct for coaches, players, team officials, parents & spectators as well as a new Child Protection Policy. The Child Protection Policy requires us to submit our managers/coaches /helper’s details, to the FA as they check with the police and give acknowledgement to the club that all peoples are clear of relevant convictions.

We are all working towards the same goal look at our motto
