our links with Colchester United, several teams have been over as mascots or enjoyed coaching and

morning and trying to work our which pitch you are meant to be playing on. Its had great feedback already

and seems to be well received

5 stars

Congratulations to Lin Sayers, who has managed to secure a

Food Hygiene rating of 5 stars for the clubhouse. Well done

Lin.

Men’s Team - Go over to our website to read

a great interview with first team men’s manager

Steve Pretty.

We are always looking for more volun-

teers to help out, it might be in the club-

house serving behind the bar, or do you

have a skill that could be of use to the

committee or business committee?

Please get in touch with your manager

or committee member to find out more.

Club Shop—With thoughts turning to Christmas why not shop on our club website

www.sxsports.co.uk and select club shop/Hatfield Peverel. Here you can buy additional

items such as training wear, tracksuits etc. Each purchase earns the club money which

can be spent on equipment for the teams

metal foldable goals.

Sponsors - we have been working on bringing in more sponsors to the club and thanks to the

hard work of your managers and committee not only have we had a number of new shirt and team

sponsors this season but we have seen a number of companies purchase our pitchside banners

also. Our thanks go out to all these companies for their support.
