Gentlemen,
Welcome to a new season, I would like to use this opportunity to set out my objectives for the coming season, however before I do that it is worth reflecting on what we achieved last season off and on the field. It is these accomplishments that will provide the platform for future success as we take the club through its next phase of development.
Off field achievements 2008 - 2009 season:
Ø Achieved Charity status
Ø Attained the Charter Standard
Ø Restructured our financial position turning a deficit into a cash positive
Ø Delivered a new Poly website
I would like to thank Terry Buckland, Barry Madigan, Peter Bamforth, Keith Johnston and Alan McDermott for their invaluable contributions.
Off field achievements 2008 - 2009 season:
Ø Fifth team: League and cup double
Ø Sixth team Cup winners
Ø Seventh team promotion
Ø Eight team runners up and promotion
Objectives for the 2009 - 2010 season
In terms of my vision for the club I would like to share my three principle objectives with you, which are:
1. Secure a long-term tenancy and promote a spirit of partnership with the key stakeholders at the University of Westminster.
2. Consolidate and improve our football teams through:
Ø The introduction of a football development strategy
Ø Qualified coaches.
Ø New strips.
Ø New training equipment and balls
Ø Engage the services of a qualified physiotherapist.
- Foster a spirit of inclusion across the entire membership and strengthen our ties with the local community.
So good luck to you all this season lets enjoy our football and emulate and build on last seasons successes.
