With the season fast approaching, why not come and catch up on the gossip, in doing so, help the club prepare the ground for the new season

The support has been tremendous so far since the work parties started on a Saturday morning, but MORE support is needed because there is still a lot of work to complete before the season starts, so we desperately need your help and support.

In reality for the hardworking committees and volunteers of football clubs across the Country the work continues. They will have one task and one task only and that is to get their pitch, grounds, facilities and club house in the best possible shape for the start of the 2019/20 season. In our case that will be Saturday 3 August 2019.

Next season a whole number of new teams will be visiting The Paycare Ground for the first time because of our promotion to the Premier Division of the West Midlands (Regional) League, and as always we want to ensure the ground and facilities are presented in the best way possible for the new friends we will be meeting.

We are looking to all of our supporters and volunteers and anyone else with a few hours to spare to come and help the committee and directors with all the jobs that need doing around the ground. Because of work commitments a lot of the work will be done on Saturday mornings between 9am - 12 noon. So the work starts in earnest this Saturday. If you can spare an hour or two then please pop down in your work gear we will provide all equipment.

If you can't make Saturday's but can help during the week please let us know.

Just a few jobs that need doing -

- painting post and rail around ground
- paint goal posts on 3 outside pitches
- prune and cut back trees, bushes and privet around ground
- clearance and removal offsite of all rubbish and metal etc behind containers
- wet clean of carpets in main and back room
