Dear Ross Juniors Supporter,

It's starting to look like Spring outside finally, so hopefully we will see some football in Ross this weekend.

Thanks to our team of dedicated coaches, managers and other helpers, we keep receiving great recognition within the wider community. After achieving the Queen's Award and the Herefordshire & Worcestershire Community Club of the Year in the last year, we are delighted to announce the club has been honoured again by winning Herefordshire Sports Club of the Year. This award will be presented on 10^th February at Shire Hall, Hereford.

We pride ourselves on being friendly, inclusive and approachable. If you would like to join our team of volunteers, we are sure to find you a role. The workload can sometimes be overwhelming for our small team but as the saying goes, 'many hands make light work'. Just get in touch through your manager or contact Jim, our Chairman, directly on 07903 010475.

Many thanks for your continued support.

Your RJFC Committee
