Dear Club Member, Parent/Carer, I hope you’ve all had a good break over the summer. Firstly, I would like to welcome new club members and to those returning for another season. I would like to say a big thank you to everyone at the club working behind the scenes to get us ready for the new season. With drought conditions preparing our Albury Heath venue has been particularly challenging.

As we embark on a new season, I am especially looking forward to seeing our new Saturday afternoon male U23s team. A first for Albury FC which provides a transition to Senior/Open age group. I am also eager to see the progress of our Girls Pathway which has grown again from our 24-25 offering.

As always let us all remember why we are here – to watch our teams play football in a safe and enjoyable environment. As an England Football Accredited Club, let us ensure that we fully always advocate Albury FC Safeguarding & England Football’s Respect initiative.

Please take time to familiarise yourselves with our policies & codes of conduct which can be found on the clubs website at: Information/Documents/Club Policy Documents

Volunteers
Thank you in advance for the voluntary work that you will undertake this season. This extends to family and friends who support those while they are performing their AFC duties. We are always in need of help, either administrative or helping on the touchline. Whatever you can do goes a long way to moving the club forward.

Some key roles that are currently vacant are:
• Membership Secretary
• Pitch Co-ordinator
• Sponsorship Officer

Role descriptions can be found on the club’s website at: Information/Documents/Volunteer Roles Please let me know if you would like to volunteer for one of the above or any other role.

All there is left to say is I wish you all the very best and enjoy the coming season.
Andy
