your Club prosper, please do not hesitate to get in touch. Car Park We are indebted to volunteers who assist with the car park planning on match days to maximise capacity in the car park. Currently we rely on two gentlemen to do this and they would gladly appreciate any assistance that can be given. Match Day Entrance Gate In recent years we have struggled to get volunteers to staff the Gate. This year we have made a decision that all those entering the Club on match days should come through the main club external entrance. (We must thank Glasdons for their support and providing us with our new kiosk, and Waring Buildings for facilitating its collection, delivery and positioning). We would be delighted to hear from anyone who feels that they can spare a couple of hours on a match day to assist with the running of the Gate. Club Shop This is currently run by volunteers on Saturday match days and Sunday mornings. it is open Monday to Friday, 9-5, and supported by our contracted staff. We will be unable to facilitate the opening of the shop on Saturdays and Sunday mornings without volunteers coming forward to assist. Please contact us at your earliest convenience if
the last 12 months and look forward to continuing to move forward. We will only be able to strengthen our position in all areas with the continued support of our members, particularly those who are prepared to volunteer. We ask that if you are unable to volunteer, that you support the Club’s events whether it be match day hospitality or our newly refurbished Bar 22, which will be open at designated times during the week particularly when there is an attractive sporting event on. We are incredibly proud of our 106 years of history and have to be forward thinking in the way the club is operated in the future. To that end we are looking at many ways in which we can generate more revenue for the club. We will shortly be announcing some more detail to the planning application. If you feel that you can provide any assistance in any of the areas above or indeed those in the list attached please do not hesitate to email either myself on president@ fylderugby.co.uk or Neil Riley, our Club secretary on secretary@fylderugby.co.uk.

you are able to assist. Big Christmas Draw
We are looking to arrange a major fund raising event at Christmas, by way of a Christmas draw. To date we have several major prizes. However, we would be delighted to have a few more. It is intended to hold the draw at a date to be advised in December with a good old fashioned Christmas Carol singalong. COULD ANY INDIVIDUALS WHO PLAY A BRASS MUSICAL INSTRUMENT CONTACT ‘HOSKI’ president@fylderugby.co.uk. These are the main areas that require bolstering at the current time, although in the attached document there are many other roles that need fulfilling throughout the course of the year. It would be fair to say that along with all other community clubs, we are experiencing difficult times with player numbers, volunteers and finances. We need to appreciate the many changes to which the club has undergone during
