ANSWERS FOR LAST MONTHS PITHERWITS

SOUTH NORMANTON ATHELTIC FOOTBALL CLUB

Firstly I really hope this magazine finds yourself, your family and friends in good health.

It’s been a relatively quiet month with the lockdown putting an end to a lot of things, football being one of them. The big thing a few of us are trying to focus on now is getting a plan in place to start getting youth teams on board. This is obviously a logical step for the club to take, and another step closer to the level we want the club to be within the community. We’re keen, however, not to just bring in anyone. It needs to be coaches and volunteers who really buy into what we’re trying to do.

At the time of writing, nothing has changed with regards to the end of the lockdown date. And we’re planning to return to training and matches on 2nd December. This could of course, change. The best way to find out our fixtures will be through the social media channels. I’d attach a photo of Decembers fixtures but they’re so up in the air I’d say at best, there’s a 50% chance of the schedule staying as it is in December. With games potentially being swapped round to accommodate the difference in tier restrictions and various other reasons.

I’d like to take a bit of time to mention the villages Gala Crew, and all the volunteers involved, who, all year have been exceptional in helping create a support network across the village so those who need help with shopping, pharmacy visits, and just someone to chat to, know there’s help available. The work they’ve done all year has been exceptional. And they’re only as good as the people who’ve kindly volunteered their time to support others. The recent poppy garden and upcoming Xmas Display are other examples of the hard work and dedication the gala crew and its team have towards making our village something to be proud of. Hopefully, we as a football club can also be another feather in South Normanton’s cap.

All the best, stay safe, and have a very Merry Xmas.
