Dear All

Now that the long hot Summer has passed it is time for the real football to start.

My thoughts on the World Cup were how disappointing it all was. The best players rarely showed their true ability and the matches were generally drab. I know everyone has their own ideas and you could use Touchlines to express these.

The first meeting is nearly upon us. I have invited Alex Neil a 22 year old Level 4 to come along and talk about fitness and the avoidance of injury.

The format of other meetings is outlined ( but not confirmed) on the Web site. Phil and I are going to a meeting on the 4 September to meet the other local Societies. The idea is to see if there is any scope in arranging a larger meeting and inviting bigger named guest speakers. Other matters will also be discussed and the outcome reported.

I received a letter from Peter Fenn to say that he is moving to West Sussex in the near future. He will be sorely missed as not only is he the RA Delegate but his own style always brightened up the monthly meeting. Good luck Peter.

Obviously, we need a replacement to Peter and offers are most welcome. The other Delegate is Gary Peach and the Society is asked to send two Representatives to bi-monthly meetings in Leatherhead.

Steve Smith, Secretary of the Epsom and Ewell Parks League has asked that we advertise their need for Officials as has the Surrey Intermediate League. If anyone is looking for a game there are plenty around!!

It was suggested that each of the Society Officers provide a Job Description. These are available in Touchlines. Please fell free to come forward to help at any time.

Again, I will re-iterate that the Society is here to help you and please use it as such.

I think that's about all, and see you on the 13th


John
