Please let Gareth know ASAP if your son cannot attend for any reason. Tel: 01424 772388 or Mobile 07879 692764; Email: garethtp@onetel.com
ii) Sedlescombe Rangers Tournament, Sunday 19 July 2009.
2) SUBS: We will again be collecting subs of £3 per training session and matches with effect from Saturday (27 June).
SEDLESCOMBE RANGERS PRESENTATION DAY (20 June ): A big thank you to all the boys and parents for turning up and making this such a successful day. (A special thanks allso to Kai and Will for turning up in spite of their "injuries"). Hope you all had a good time.
NEXT SEASON: Following discussion the Managers and coaches have elected for the (Under 9) Whites to stay in the East Sussex Mini Minor League (ESMML). (The (Under 9) Blues will be pulling out of the ESMML and joining the Crowborough League). The reasons for staying in the ESSML are two-fold. Firstly to concentrate on the training of the team before they need to build up to an 11 aside team; and secondly to limit travelling to the local area (teams in the Crowborough League are likely to need to travel far wider) and minimise the burden on parents.
Chelsea FC will be running a 4 day training school in August this year. Mini Kickers upwards. 4th August to 7th August, On the final day (7th August) your child will be taken by coach to Chelsea FC Training Ground, at Cobham for there last day of training and presentation. Please contact Fred Ham for booking forms. 07802 621047.
East Sussex Minor League (ESMML) Presemtation Day, Saturday 9 May 2009 at Westfield Football Club. Results: Sedlsescombe Rangers White 0 Winkney 0; Sedlescombe Rangers White 2 Little Common Colts 0 (Goals Ryan and Jackson). Good results well played boys!
RESULTS: Saturday 2 May 2009
Sedlescombe Rangers White 0 Hastings United 0;
Sedlescombe Rangers White 1 Bexhill Youth 2.
Results didn't go your way but well played! Match reports to follow.
RESULT: League Game Saturday, 11 April 2009 - Little Common Colts 0 Sedlescombe Rangers White 2. Another great game. Match report to follow.
REMINDER TO PARENTS: Training fees in respect of the Claremont training facilities are now due for the period January 2009 - March 2009. As per the previous arrangements where League games are played and consequently cannot take place (particularly in regard to Away matches) the training fee will be waived against the match fee (i.e. the match fee will be deducted from the payment made to cover the use of the training facilities at Claremont). The training fee is £30.00. However, as subs have been collected for 2 training sessions and 2 matches since the beginning of the year, those players paid up in respect of the maximum 4 sessions will only need to pay £18.00. For the majority of parents the outstanding monies will be between £18.00 - £21.00. The best way to resolve this will be for parents to bring their cheque books with them to the next training session and for Gareth and I to discuss with you individually (or give either of us a ring in advance). Cheques should be made out to 'Sedlescombe Rangers JFC'. Hope this is clear!
RESULT: League game Saturday 14 February: Bexhill Youth 3 Sedlescombe Rangers White 0.
Parents and Players you can now order SEDLESCOMBE RANGERS JFC Coats, Training Kits and Track Suits from the club web site. Please click on the Club Documents tab and open Order form.
PARENTS TO NOTE: that we will be collecting match subs (£3.00 per match) again from next week.

GAME Away to Hastings Town Blue at Horntye Park TODAY( Saturday 13 December) CANCELLED DUE TO BAD WEATHER. NO TRAINING FOR SAME REASON.
It is unlikely that any of the League games recently postponed because of the bad weather will be re-arranged for this side of Christmas, but keep an eye on the website in case anything changes.
Assuming that this remains the case, on behalf of Gareth, Steve, Dean and myself we wish you and your families A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!
PARENTS TO NOTE:
1) PLEASE LET BARRY/GARETH KNOW BY THURSDAY AT THE LATEST IF YOUR SON CANNOT PLAY.
2) IF GAMES ARE CALLED -OFF WE WILL ENDEAVOUR TO HOLD TRAINING AT CLAREMONT BETWEEN 11.00 - 12.00 ON THE SATURDAY.
3) PLEASE REMEMBER TO CHECK THE WEBSITE REGULARLY FOR UPDATES.
A REMINDER TO PARENTS that have not yet provided the (advance) £36.00 payment (per child) for the use of the astro training facililties at Claremont (up to Xmas) that this is due now. PLEASE NOTE that because the Whites have LEAGUE games scheduled for every Saturday up until and including 15 November (with the exception of 1 November) it is unlikely that the boys will have any 'formal' training sessions (apart from possibly 1 November) until at least 22 November. Where LEAGUE games are played, and consequently training cannot take place (particularly in respect of AWAY matches) the training fee will be waived against the match fee (i.e. the match fee will be deducted from the £36 payment made to cover the use of the Claremont training facilities). Hope this is clear!
Grateful if you could return the training fee to Barry/Gareth ASAP. Cheques should be made payable to Sedlescombe Rangers JFC. Thanks!
REMINDER: Parents to note:
1) Players not registered with the East Sussex Mini Minor League (ESMML) will not be able to take part in League matches. Registered Non League players will only be able o take part in Friendly (i.e. Non-League) matches.
2) There will no training prior to, or after, AWAY League matches.
************
Starting Saturday (13 September) we are introducing two League match awards for the boys: 1) Man of the Match and 2) Team Player
The aim is recognise the efforts of the boys and to encourage them to do well. It will not (necessarily) be about who scores the most goals. To keep it as impartial as possible the judgement will be made (as far as practicable) by the coaches in conjunction with the managers.
Man of the Match will aim to recognise the player who has demonstrated the most significant individual effort in that particular game
Team Player will aim to recognise the player who has made the most significant contribution to that particular game in terms of (selfless) influencing of its direction/outcome.
(It will be possible for a player to win both awards).
The winner of the awards will hold on to the trophy until the following week (parents please remember to hand the trophies back to Barry/Gareth at the next game), at which point they will be handed on to the next 'winners'. At the end of the Season the player receiving the most Man of the Match and Team Player awards will get to keep the respective trophy.
The first winners are:
Man of the Match: Adam Sims
Team Player: Morgan Anderson
But a big well done to everyone; all the boys played extremely well.
Parents to note:
1) That commencing this Saturday games will be taking place every week. It is hoped to organise friendlies immediately after League games and/or training depending on whether the team is playing home or away.
2) Match fees will be £3.00 effective from now. Training at the Sedlescombe ground remains at £2.00.
3) Players not registered with the ESMML will not be able to take part in League games.
IMPORTANT REMINDER: Parents please return your completed (and signed) Parents Code of Conduct forms to Gareth or Barry if you have not already done so. Thanks!
