Cherished Volunteers Our
wonderful game has seen many changes since the introduction of professionalism
back in 1996, both on and off the field. However, one thing still remains
- and it is vital at that - the role of the volunteer is still important, essential
even, if any club is to survive. Over the years tremendous voluntary
input has been provided in a variety of ways, which is something never to be forgotten,
and also to be cherished.  |
Besides
the important roles taken on by officials, committee members, and coaches at various
levels, people have manned gates and car parks, cut grass and hedges, picked up
rubbish, painted & cleaned pay huts and changing rooms
They have organised
& sold raffle tickets, and participated in a wide range of fund raising events
ranging from Donkey Derby & Fetes to Tramps Balls, and ‘Prom’ Days
to Dinners. The list is endless. Consider how we would get on today without
the match day input of Dave Trembath and his squad of stewards. Gate-duty
people such as loyal stalwarts Ray and Anne Jeffery (who have given tremendous
input since the seventies), our PA System team, scoreboard operators, 50/50 draw
ticket sellers, programme sellers, and ballboys. | | Graham

Thanks are always due to whoever
helps out in whatever way, something also to be enjoyed. It makes one feel part
of the team, and can be a very rewarding experience – a lifetime’s hobby
to many.
