Fixture card

As you know the Club usually produces a fixture card at the start of the season which gives much detail on fixtures, Club contacts, sponsors, Club events etc.  We are in unprecedented times and whilst we are back on the pitch, in a very limited format, there is great uncertainty on when we will be playing normally.  League fixtures are starting to come through but the dates are obviously very uncertain.

Taking that into account the Executive has made the decision NOT to produce a fixture card for this coming season.  We are therefore also taking the opportunity to look at other options for communicating the information normally included in the booklet.  One of the issues that does come up regularly is that dates / details change during the season and the fixture card is then out of date very quickly, there is also the question of saving the considerable amount of paper used in it’s production

We will keep you informed as this work progresses
