            Posts in bold were nominated on the night.

5.2       There were no proposals for the roles of;

i)                    Vice Chair Senior Section

ii)                  Vice Chair Youth Section

iii)                Schools Liaison/Development Officer

iv)                Under 16’s Team Manager (could change to Under 18’s Team)

v)                  Under 16’s Team Secretary (could change to Under 18’s Team)

5.3       Tim stated that the players in this season’s Under 16’s team would like to play Under 17’s football next season so they can stay together as a team as currently some of them would go up to senior football and not enough would be left to form an Under 16’s team. Claire will investigate this possibility but responded by stating that she thinks that they would have to play in an Under 18’s league if they stay in the Home Counties.

5.4       Claire also stated that it is very difficult for the Club to commit to running an age group without their being a team manager in place at the AGM.

6.0       Subscription Rates for Season 2011/12

6.1       It was proposed by the Club Committee that the annual subscription rates should stay the same for the forthcoming season and that 1^st Team “PASS” players would have to pay match fees when playing for the 2^nd or 3^rd Team. There were two counter nominations from the floor. The first proposed that all senior teams would pay the same level of annual subscription and match fees and the second proposed that 1^stTeam“PASS” players would pay £100.00 signing on fee and then a reduced match fee rate per game. The three proposals were discussed and put to the vote and the Club Committee proposal was carried. Therefore subs for season 2011/12 will be as follows;

            Youth - £130.00          Senior - £150.00          1^stTeam“PASS” - £100.00

6.2       Match fees would remain at their current level for season 2011/12 and 1^st Team “Pass” players  will now be eligible to pay match fees when playing for another senior team apart from the 1^st Team.

6.3       Claire stated that the Registrations Secretary will be dealing with all Annual Subscription collection and player registrations.

7.0       Rule Book & Disciplinary

7.1       There were no changes proposed to the Club Rulebook for season 2011/12 (the rule book is based on the FA Model Club rules).

7.2       Members were reminded that they are personally liable for any disciplinary action/fines levied against the Club in response to their actions or the actions of their daughter/their guests.

7.3       It was suggested from the floor that the Club Rulebook be published on the Club website for all members’ reference.

7.4       Fred Selby raised a concern over player’s footwear and clothing at training. It was decided that the Team Managers should state to all players under 16 that they should wear appropriate footwear and shin pads to training. If they do not do so then the Team Manager or a Committee Member can ask them to sit out of training.

8.0       Members Comments/Feedback

8.1       More volunteers are required at the Club 5 a side Tournament and at social events. Messages must be passed through to members when given to Team Managers. It was agreed that all members should provide an email address when they register for the Club and that the Registrations Secretary will be able to compile distribution lists per age group/team and for the whole Club.

8.2       Members were reminded to use the Club Website to update themselves on Club information/events. www.enfieldtownladiesfc.com

8.3       There was a suggestion that the Club set up a Facebook account. There are some child protection issues over this and the Club would prefer everyone to use the main Club website.

8.4       The dates for this year’s 5 a side Tournament are Sat 25^th June for the boys and Sun 26^th June for girls/women. It was also explained to members that each youth age group will have to have 12 teams in order to run and the Club needs each teams proactive help in trying to reach that target. Claire Gooch is happy to discuss this with anyone.

8.5       A question was raised in regards to whether the Club Committee were worried that the 2^nd Team had 3 separate managers in one season. The Committee was concerned and John had stated that it was a hard season for the 2^nd team in his report. All managers had been approached by the Club in regards to why they had left so that he reasons could be discussed and lessons learnt.

8.6       There was also a discussion around player availability for the seniors for Season 2011/12. It was clarified that all players should now be picked on their ability level in the seniors and not on age (the 3^rd Team has had their year of adjusting to senior football together). It was reinforced that all senior players should be signed on for all senior teams so there could be fluid movement where needed. This will require players to give in photos and photographic proof of age. Team Managers are expected to fully assist the Registrations Secretary in this goal.

9.0       Any Other Business

9.1       The Club Presentation Evening and 25^th Anniversary Party will be held on Saturday 4^th June atParadiseWildlifePark in Broxbourne. It was reinforced to all members present that tickets are pre-sell only and not available on the door. Tickets are available through Team Managers or through Julie Hammond. The event will start at 6pm sharp.

9.2       Tim reminded all that the Golf Day is now being held on Friday 8^th July. This is a good fundraiser for the Club and all are invited. A day’s golf and dinner/disco will cost £60 and just the dinner/disco costs £30. Please approach Tim if interested.

9.3       Michael stated that there are working parties held at the QE Stadium every Sunday beginning at 10am and it would be nice for a few members from the Ladies Club to attend. Work is varied and therefore all are suitable to volunteer.

9.4       If people are interested in any of the vacant roles on the Club Committee they should make contact with John or Claire.

9.5       All present were again thanked for their attendance and the meeting was officially closed.

ENFIELD TOWN LADIES FOOTBALL CLUB

CHEQUERS WAY SPORTS FACILITY

“To take the athlete, where he/she cannot take themselves.”

When Enfield Town Ladies FC was first informed of Fairview New Homes Ltd (“Fairview”) proposal to provide a sporting facility at the Chequers Way Site, we identified an opportunity to improve our community links within the Borough. 

On 28^th August 2007, Fairview obtained outline planning consent for a residential redevelopment comprising of 12 houses and 130 flats together with open space for a Sport and Recreational use and associated infrastructure, including a playing pitch, pavilion.

The opportunity for the occupation of Chequers Way Sports Facility was offered to the club and it was immediately identified that it allowed the club to reinvest the capital and revenue streams from the site directly back into the community and improve services to its members.

In essence, the ownership of the CWSF will remain with Fairview or a successor in title, with a Lease Agreement made available to Enfield Town Ladies FC for a period of 99 years, with the option to renew.

A non-profit youth sports program promoting youth sports participation, healthy growth and increased health care access for children will be set up with coinciding services such as free coaching sessions, participation in sport for all, open days, coaching courses, ethnic sessions, disability sessions, organised sports and physical activity programs, tournaments and mini leagues, to name a few.

The CWSF will be a sports facility / complex, dedicated predominately to the ladies youth football community, yet Enfield Town Ladies intend to use the facility to meet the various sporting needs of the surrounding community through different programmes, in affiliation with other organisations. 

The facility allows for the following on-site provisions:

-          A pavilion, complete with office, Kitchen and disabled toilets leading into

-          Further welfare and changing facilities

-          A fully enclosed flood-lit all-weather junior-size football pitch that has been designed to accommodate primarily football and hockey

-          A full time Management structurer, employed to manage the daily operations and functions of the facility; and

-          The support of a new Sports and Fitness Director, together with the entire Enfield Town Ladies organisation, to provided qualified expertise and training, to ensure all sporting and fitness needs are met.

The Pitch

The single junior-size football pitch is the highlighting feature of the CWSF.  Along with meeting the predominate football usage, the design and composition of the pitch will also enable it to accommodate field hockey.

With the added incentive of attracting County, District and Club standard football, Enfield Town Ladies seek to earmark CWSF as the place to be for personal physical development, competitive leagues, training camps, or just for pick-up games.

Pavilion

In connection to the 30 car parking spaces, the facility provides a clubhouse pavilion, of which, the internal configuration allows for a food and beverage area, administrator’s office, storage, changing rooms and hall.

In the short term, the pavilion will meet the general operational needs of the facility; however Enfield Town Ladies have aspirations to provide a larger area dedicated for social interaction, functions and meetings.

Specifically, this aspect of the facility is considered to be crucial in providing the desired atmosphere Enfield Town Ladies hopes to create.

An area is to be provided for the treatment of sports injuries and massage therapy clinic, which will be available to both the general public and regular users. 

A cost will of course be absorbed by the patient at industry standard prices, however, there may be an opportunity to provide a discounted rate for members of locally registered organisations that are deprive of such a service.

Initial concepts see there to be an opportunity to provide a small pro shop, in connection with the food/beverage area, as a means of generating extra revenue. 

We see this as a future expansion opportunity to help deliver a constant income, so that the CWSF can maintain its self-funded status. 

Thank you for your help in this regard and any queries please contact me via email at johnmari@stamfordcontracts.co.uk or on 07785 280 865

We are looking for volunteers to help create and organise our celebrations for our 25th anniversary. Any players or parents that would like to be involved, then please contact your Team Manager or a Committee member by Friday 8th October.

As the youth teams kick off their season this weekend we would like to remind all members and associates of members that Enfeld Town Ladies FC is a Charter Standard Club and subscribes fully to the FA RESPECT Programme.

We would like to remind you of the free online Parent Guide which highlights examples of poor behaviour and more importantly how it can be improved. To see the Guide for Parents and Carers please visit: www.thefa.com/respectguide 

Enfield Town Ladies are pleased to announce that ORC Sports are to be our Club sponsors for the next two years and hopefully beyond and to thank them for their support.

All the Club's senior sides will receive new kits. The main 1st team kit will match the Men's side and will be White Shirts and Royal Blue Shorts and Socks. The change kit will be all Red. All the kits will be made by Macron and will carry the name JUSTTEAMSPORTS.CO.UK on the front.

First team manger and Club chairman John Abbott said “It’s a major boost to us to receive such great backing and we will do our best to be as successful as our sponsors are in their field.”

Director Mark Cox handed over the new kit to the first team and joined them for a team picture.
