your child to be involved please speak to your coaches. We

have limited numbers with priority going to U10s and younger.

Tickets for that game are also available through the scheme at

Hepworth JFC)

Pre Season Newsletter 2014-15

Hepworth Juniors along with the Men’s and Ladies Team currently have plans

submitted with Kirklees planning for a shared Clubhouse. The project if approved

would see the club sell its current clubhouse in Hepworth Village and with the

support of grants and fundraising build a much needed on site clubhouse. The

building would have 2 changing rooms with showers and officials changing

rooms. There would be a Kitch-

en that could provide food and

drinks on match-days along

with a bar and social area.

We have had feedback on the

original plans from Kirklees and

we need to make some chang-

es to the size of the social side

of the building and address on

site parking. We have just re-

vised plans and have met with

Councillors last week to talk

through the changes and look-

ing to re submit in the next few

weeks.

If you would like to learn more about the plans we have copies at the pitch today

in the Hepworth Gazebo, please come and see Dave Brennan. If you could offer

any skills, services, sponsorship to this project and would like to get involved

please do speak to your coach and he will put you in contact with the project

JUNIOR CLUB SECRETARY SITUATION VACANT

Our current Junior Club Secretary, Claire Field has held the role for 5 years and done a superb job in keeping the club organised and handling our dealings with the Huddersfield League and Sheffield FA. Claire will now be stepping down and we do therefore need to fill this role for this season and need a volunteer to continue the great work Claire has been doing. The primary roles and responsibilities of the Club Secretary are to • Handle the communications between the Club and Huddersfield Junior League and Football Associations. • Register the teams with the league. • Register the players with the league to obtain player photocards. • Keep a register of all the club’s players. • Minute the Managers’ Monthly meetings. The pre season is a key time of the year. Teams are registered in May/June and players in July/August. The remainder of the year has a fairly level amount of work in minuting the monthly meetings and handling communications from the league. It is key that we fill this role as we cannot meet our obligations without it. So I do hope there is someone within the wider club community who feels they could help and contribute some time and ensure the club can continue at strength for many years to come. If you are interested in finding out more about the role please make contact with Rob Wilks on robanddiwilks@btinternet.com. Claire will be available to help the transition and to handle any questions as the new Club Secretary finds their feet.

We have just this week held 3 successful training

camp mornings. 30 children each day from across 4

different age groups have participated in the ses-

sions. Led by coaches Malcolm Bailey and Ann

Taylor the boys and girls have enjoyed football and

other fun sports games. On Friday we also had

a visit from ex Premier League footballer David

Howells (pictured) We feel it has been a success

and will look to do similar activities in future Holidays
