The club has been saddened by the recent passing of our Junior Section coach Chris Sellwood. Chris had fought bravely against Leukemia for a number of years, always with a smile on his face and a positive outlook. Chris was loved by the group he coachedwith his father-in-law Tony and brother-in-law Jonathan. Our thought are with Jackie and his children, of which Robin plays in the group, and the Dossitt family.

Registration

A reminder that the club registration evening will be held this coming Wednesday, July 2nd, at the Sports Club, Fordingbridge Recreation Ground, from 7.30 to 9pm. We would request that all players come along and register so that we can get all paperwork out of the way before the start of the season. Blank club and Testway league registration forms are available on the website, click on ' Registration'. If you can download and complete the forms in advance, it will save a lot of time on the night, please ensure you complete all fields, including email address which is particularly important as all club communication is now email based. Every player must complete the Fordingbridge Town registration form and pay the registration fee.

For players wanting to play in League teams, which are from year 4 upwards you will need to additionally complete the Testway League registration form and provide 2 passport size photographs for each player. Please ignore page 2 on the Testway form, they have included this in error and we have no way to remove it.

Please note for current year 3 players, there will be a league team in the Under 9s next year, run by Andy Hirst.

Unfortunately, due to ever rising costs (our pitch costs went up 17% last year), league registration fees have had to increase by £5 per head to £65. They will be as follows:-

Next year Reception to Year 3 – Either: £40 for the season to cover registration and all training sessions, or £10 registration for the season and £2 fee per training session.

Next year Year 4 upwards - £40 for the season for players who do not wish to play matches but wish to attend training sessions, this covers registration and all training sessions

or

£65 for the season for players who wish to be eligible to play matches for the club, this covers registration , all training sessions and all match fees.

Note that this makes players eligible for competitive matches for the club, it does not guarantee a place in the team.

We do recognise that particularly for those parents with multiple players in the club, it represents a large outlay at once so any families with 2 or more children registering will only pay £55 for the second and subsequent players. If you would like to spread the fee over a period of time, please discuss confidentially with your team manager team manager.

Fair Play Award

We are delighted to announce that Fordingbridge Town Football Club has won the Hampshire FA Charter Standard Clubs youth fair play award for 2006/2007. This is based on the numbers of players in the club and our overall disciplinary record for bookings and sendings off last season, which was zero for the whole of the season. Many congratulations to all the players and managers involved.

As part of the award, the club receives £200 towards equipment for the club's players. Some of our players and managers represented the club at last Saturday's AFC Bournemouth v Northampton match where a photo shoot was organised by Bournemouth (themselves winners of the award for League one) for all the Hampshire and Dorset FA winning clubs. These will hopefully appear on the AFC Bournemouth website shortly, and in the program for the next Bournemouth home game.
