Mr Kenneth (Buj) Wretham
This year marks the Centenary
of our football club. For those of you who
are
unaware we were formed in 1906 by the choir boys
from the church on Kew Green. Following a nomadic
existence, with grounds in Richmond and
Sunbury, we finally settled into our new ground
in 1997.
Ham Playing Fields
now represents a glorious opportunity for our
club to grow and flourish
as
hopefully our brand new clubhouse and changing
rooms will be completed
after
years of painstaking work by the board especially
Ken Chivers.
We are determined to celebrate
this year in style, with plans for regular
training
using mobile training lights following a very successful
demonstration,
brand new celebratory kits for all teams, and training
tops provided
following payment of membership dues.
This season
has been successfully
completed mainly due to the hard work of our
fixture secretary, Gareth
Dineen, who has worked incredibly hard for the
benefit of all teams. He
has
been supported throughout by our marvellous treasurer,
Joe Noble, who
creatively provides financial assistance.
We on
the commitee and the
board
will endeavour to make improvements to the three
playing surfaces our priority once the new clubhouse
is up and running . This we feel is
essential as it is inevitable that new players
will be attracted to the
wonderful new facilities.
We must also strive
to uphold the corinthian spirit of both the club
and the league. It is important that players
realise their responsibilities with regard to
discipline on the pitch and to uphold the social
nature of the game by both creating a welcoming
environment for the opposition but also
staying for food and beer when playing away and
even talking to the
opponents.
We have a fantastic opportunity
staring us in the face . With EVERYONES
support and help we can achieve what we all want,
a club to be proud of.
