Programme Notes

Gravesend & Northfleet, 11 November 2003

Good evening and welcome to the BFCSA page.

MEMBERSHIP

So far this season the Association has 325 members. This is about the same as this time last season but it would be great to get past last seasons final total of 359.

A quick reminder of the benefits of belonging to the association are that it entitles you to travel on the coach to away games (membership is available on the day) and also members are insured at any football match played under FA rules.

Another good reason to join is to raise funds. I've mentioned in previous programmes how the association has donated money to Barnet FC.

In the Exeter programme there is a photo of the new lawnmower the association contributed to. We paid £1200.00, half the price and I think you'll agree the pitch is looking in great shape again.

Another donation was £300.00 sponsoring Liam Hatch. Part of the sponsorship is that the sponsor has two tickets for the main stand and a photo taken with the player. Also at the end of the season you get the players away shirt. The committee has agreed that we will raffle these so look out for details in a forthcoming programme and also on www.bfcsa.net.

As in past seasons the association has given the goalkeepers money to buy gloves and other items. So far this term £271.00 has been spent on these and I think you'll agree it's worth it.
As you can see the money raised by the BFCSA goes to a good cause so if you're not a member why not join?

John Adkins is the membership secretary and he can be found selling programmes by the Westcombe Drive turnstiles before home games.

Donations are also gratefully accepted!

SUPPORTERS FOOTBALL MATCH

A game between Barnet supporters and Forest Green Rovers supporters is being arranged. Robert Whipple has rounded up a team and it will take place on one of the pitches behind Underhill. The kick-off time hasn't been finalised yet but it will be in the morning. See www.bfcsa.net for further details.

A return match is planned for the away fixture and it is hoped this will be an annual event (if we're both in same league of course!!).

QUIZ TEAM

The two quiz teams have now both started this years campaign. The home matches are being played at the East Barnet United Services Club, East Barnet Road, New Barnet (roughly opposite Sainsbury's). Spectators are welcome if you want to come along.
