MINUTES FROM PREVIOUS MEETING
The minutes from the previous meeting were discussed and agreed as accurate. It has been agreed that the minutes will be distributed via email in addition to being posted on the website.

ACTION SCHEDULE
Action schedule from previous meetings were discussed. It has been agreed that we will pay someone to fix the roof at Milefield and Allen will arrange this. Outstanding points will be carried forward and are available to view on the website. Please refer to the website for the most up to date version.

CORRESPONDENCE
Some of the registration cards have been received and these were distributed. Laura will contact relevant managers once the other cards are received. The FA statement has arrived; no penalty points have been accrued. Details were also received from a Goalkeeping coach for any managers interested. Allen gave contact details out for a course based in Barnsley that is already utilised by some of the players.

SHEFFIELD MEETING
The meeting was attended by the Allen and Ade. There was nothing much to report and the fixtures were collected and registration cards handed to the relevant registrar. The league handbooks had not arrived therefore we need to contact them and arrange collection. Ian shirt volunteered to collect.
The next meeting will be attended by the Under 14s – Laura will confirm date/times to Mark once the dates are confirmed by the League.

KITS
Discussions took place regarding whether to change the kit or remain with the existing. It was agreed that we would keep the existing. Any old kits can be utilised for training sessions or alternatively passed to a school so they could use. The sponsored kit we will receive from Fan Plaques will be utilised for the Under 9 age group.

UNDER 9S
Pat Metcalfe will be running this age group and due to the limited number of players Pat has applied to the Millennium League. However, due to work commitments Pat cannot train them midweek and we need other managers to help out where possible. Phil has been making enquiries with a contact that may be willing to train them.

GALA
There was quite a lot of rubbish left after the Gala. Managers had agreed to take rubbish home but it was apparent that some did not take any. It was discussed regarding the date and next year it will possibly be earlier in the year due to lack of teams entering this year. Holding the Gala is not fundraising event but an opportunity to promote the club and give managers the chance to try new players. It was also noted that not all managers present on the day helped to assemble and the nets and put away. It was discussed that a meeting should be held where all managers attend and tasks allocated so that it is fair to everyone helping out. Mark asked about running 11 a side tournament, this could be a possibility as a one off event for this age group played at Milefield.

SUBS
Allen has asked that players start to pay subs from the week commencing 31 August and that all subs must be with him by the end of the month please. Whilst on the subject of subs it was asked what players would receive at Christmas. They will receive the same as last year £10 per player. The raffle was also discussed, Laura will arrange for tickets to be distributed 1 November to teams and each team will also be asked to donate a hamper. This has proved to work well as it increases the amount of prizes we are able to offer.

REDFEARN/READFEARNS – LOGO
It has been noted that some kits/training kits have a printed logo with Redfearns on whereas the embroidered logo says Redfearn. A discussion took place and it was agreed that the embroidered logo will be amended and will read Redfearns.

AOB
IAN P – informed everyone that their team had had 5 balls donated to their team so a big thank you goes to Baz for the donation
BRENT – Brent is now joint manager with Eden and asked for any information with regards to roles etc. Robin will obtain the Managers handbook for the next meeting so that every manager can see what his defined in their role.
MARK – asked if anyone trains at Milefield on Saturdays. Eden trains on Saturdays so there is ample room for them to relocate to Milefield on Saturdays. Mark also stated that he has a sponsor for match balls. Allen will arrange for the invoice to be passed to Mark for the sponsorship deal. Redfearns is available from the 6 September.
IAN S – notified everyone that Neil Bedford and Mick Copping will be taking a more active role in training the Under 18s due to Johns work commitments limiting the amount of time he can help out.
JULIE – asked about portable toilets at Milefield. Ian S will make enquiries to check on costs so that this can be looked at for next year’s summer training.
ALLEN – clarified winter training dates with managers and also distributed first aid books that should be kept with the first aid kit. Please complete these if any incidents occur and forward a copy to Robin. All details should be completed regardless of how trivial, even if a parent declines any intervention, please record this information so that facts cannot be contested at a later date. Allen reminded everyone to read the coaching information that is sent via email, copies are also available on the website. It was also mentioned about future meeting dates. They will be held the second Tuesday of every month.
ROBIN – asked managers to provide a player profile and team picture for the website and also asked that match reports be posted on the site. Laura will remove last year’s reports but will archive and save copies.
