ABOUT THE COMMITTEE

For 2023 the committee has been reorganised with some new members and new Secretary, Vice-President and President.

The committee is currently coordinating with Football South and other local and national organisations to plan out the 2023 season which will hopefully include more opportunities at all levels to play football more regularly and in some new formats.
