A meeting of the BF management committee had taken place. It was noted that work on the car park was progressing well. The breeze blocks have still not been removed.

In the absence of Mandy and John there was nothing to report.

Peter R had attended the hearing on this matter – the charges were dismissed and there was no case to answer.

John had attended a Wilts FA meeting in Devizes regarding Child Protection and discipline.

John had provided Peter with a statement of guidelines setting out the requirements for the position of Club Welfare Officer. John reiterated that it was his intention to stand down from this office at the AGM and stressed that we need to appoint a successor then.

Greig Futcher and Ian Lloyd intend to enrol for the March course.

The Referee’s Association will present this course next month in either the Village Hall or the Lion’s Head.

No news on the band. The date has been moved forward to June. It is understood that Mandy is trying to form a sub committee but in her absence there was nothing further to report.

The Newsletter is now available and Martyn gave a copy to everyone present. They should now be distributed as soon as possible, hopefully this weekend.

Martyn had requested and ordered some equipment. Malcolm stated that he will need new shirts for next season.

Those coaches present reported on their respective team’s results. Martyn advised that 3 of his players had been selected for Wilts under 16 team and one player had trialled for the England Youth team.

John Richards will not continue to run the Academy after the end of the season and he is looking for a replacement.

It was suggested that the AGM be incorporated into the normal monthly meeting on 11 June 2007.

This was provisionally set for Sunday 13 May 2007 – a final decision to be made at the next meeting. John P had sent a reminder to order trophies 2 months in advance.

Malcolm stated that the training sessions at Barry’s Field should take place off the pitches to minimise wear and tear. Peter R to issue coaches with a note to this effect.

Malcolm will carry out pitch maintenance and take the goals down at the end of the season. A working party to be organised for this.
