The Club held its Annual General Meeting on Tuesday and those present voted in the new committee as follows:
Chair - Jim Loftus Vice Chair - Vanda Nixon Secretary - Pat Hughes
Treasurer - Ben Morgan
Youth Development/Press - Paul Flitney
Club Development Manager - Mike Tompkins
We are still looking for a new minutes secretary who would take notes from our bi-monthly meetings. If you can help please email us.
We are pleased to report that the training and match subs will remain the same for next season whilst the annual RJFC registration fee will go up only slightly to £30. This is to help cover constantly rising costs that the Club incurs. All money raised goes into the Club with major expenses being pitch maintenance, JKHS astroturf hire, kit, affiliation fees, referees etc. Our volunteers are constantly working hard to raise money through sponsorship, donations, grants and various fundraising ventures as membership fees and subs cover only about half of all expenses! If you would like to know more please just contact us.
Wishing you a lovely Summer break,
The RJFC Committee

Many thanks to Minett and Skyrme Charity Trust who gave the club £300 recently to boost our 'hardship fund'. This is money put aside to assist youngsters whose families cannot afford the cost of football kits, training fees, etc. Anybody in need can speak to their coach in complete confidence or contact Jim (jim.loftus@btinternet.com) for more information.
