round. U6 & U8 should try to encourage a couple of extra parents to
get involved.

Website Advertising
- A
proposal was received to potentially provide some commission funding
from an advert on the website. After some discussion it was felt that it
was not something that the club wished to participate in at the present
time. However there was no objection to leaflets being given out at the
ground.

Congestion – John has list of all fixtures. There are 3 Saturdays
