Joining Fees - all
playing members are asked that they pay
their Joining Fees (£50) no later than Saturday 13th
October 2007. Skippers are reminded that they have a
pivotal role to play in collecting these monies from
their players and that after this date the Committee
will enforce a rigorous No Pay, No Play policy, which
will see them unable to include any player with an
outstanding payment.
25 Jul 2007 - Pre
Season Training - attendance
at pre season training, which is taking place on
Tuesday and Thursday evenings throughout the summer,
has been very encouraging. Every skipper has attended at least one session, taking the
chance to cast an eye over a talented mix of both
existing and prospective new players being
put through their paces by our Training Co-ordinator,
Dave Jenvey. With the new
Senior Squad Manager, Ian Lewis in attendance at all
the sessions thus far, many players from last season's
1s and 2s have been regular attendees, which is
very encouraging and augers well for the new season.
The Committee wishes to remind those players from all
squads yet to get along to training that
they run the serious risk of missing out when the
2007/08 squads are selected in a few weeks time at the
Annual Skippers Meeting. Any players unable to
attend training must contact Ian Lewis at
teamsecretary@carshaltonfc.co.uk to confirm their availability for the new season.
25 Jul 2007 -
Six-a-side Tournament - we have entered 2
eight man squads in the Old
Owens FC Six-a-Side Tournament, which takes place at
the Old Owens Sports Ground, Potters Bar on Bank
Holiday Monday 27 August. This should provide a real
pre season test for the players selected.
Further details will follow shortly.
25 Jul 2007 -
Injury Crisis! - before
a ball has even been kicked this season, the Senior
Squad have suffered their first injury with
centre-back John Biggle breaking a toe during last
Thursday's training session. Arriving last night
to watch training, and sporting a plaster cast and
crutches, John indicated that he is likely to be out of action for at
least six weeks. We wish John a
speedy recovery and hope to see him back in action
very soon.
18 Jul 2007 -
Friendlies - the 1s have friendlies arranged
for 18 August (venue and KO time to be confirmed)
against Old Wilsonians, 1 September away to
Nottsborough (3pm KO) and 8 September at Old Salesians
(3.15pm KO).
We also have 2s, 3s and 4s games at Old Salesians on 8
September, kicking off at 3.15pm, 3.15pm and 1.30pm
respectively.
16 Jul 2007 - New
Web Site - the Carshalton FC web site has
been given an overhaul for 2007/08. Thanks to
everyone who has helped with providing feedback on
suggestions for improvements. If you find any
problems (missing links, errors on pages, etc) please
contact Buzz at webmanager@carshaltonfc.co.uk detailing
the issue.
As well as an improved look & feel we have added
features including the Paypal facility.
Outstanding fines, match fees etc can now be paid this
way to avoid Club suspensions. However the usual
method of cash and cheque payment is preferred as
Paypal transactions incur transaction charges to the
Club.
16 Jul 2007 -
Senior Squad Manager & Captains - congratulations to
brothers Dave and Chris Tilley who have been appointed
captains for the 1s and 2s respectively by the
Committee. Dave has also been appointed Club
Captain and is looking to get the team back into
Division 1 after finishing 3rd last season. With
the number of retirements from last season's 1s, the
Committee felt it such an important appointment this
season that the AGM agreed to allow the Committee to
make this decision offline. After a lot of
discussions and hard work behind the scenes, it has
concluded that Dave represented what the Committee was
looking for - someone who knows the Club, is ambitious
and has the support of last season's players.
Chris has the challenge of captaining the 2s in their
return to Division 1 after a 6 year absence, and will
be looking to consolidate in the division and groom
young talent for promotion into the 1s.
Overseeing all this will be Ian Lewis who has been
appointed Senior Squad Manager and will be responsible
for player selection in the Senior Squad, with input
from both Dave and Chris. Ian will also function
as 1s Manager on match days.
We wish all this season's skippers and managers the
best of luck for this season and ask all members to
give them your support throughout the season.
Players can start doing this now by attending pre
season training!

Pre Season Training - pre season training sessions
have started and are running throughout the summer on Tuesday and Thursday evenings
from 7.30pm until the start
of the season. These will be run by our
Training Co-ordinator Dave Jenvey. They take place on the pitches adjacent to the
Parkside café in
Beddington Park, Wallington. Anyone wishing to join the Club and existing
members are invited to attend. Attendees should
bring appropriate kit - football boots, trainers, shin pads, both a coloured and a
white shirt, and of course plenty of drinking water.
Players are warned that, as happened
last year, they run the risk of being overlooked when the 2007/08 squads are
selected if they do not attend training - Senior Squad members are expected to attend
at least one of the sessions per week. Anyone
unable to attend the training nights must contact Team Secretary Ian Lewis or e-mail the Club
at carshaltonfc@hotmail.com to confirm their
availability for the forthcoming season.
If any of the Club's FA qualified
coaches or Senior Squad players can assist Dave with the training can they
please contact him at David.Jenvey@haleys-ltd.com.
