Tonight’s session could do with a couple more to even the numbers of anyone fancies a good run out!

We are now back to a 9-10pm slot but on a lovely 4g pitch at Stoneham Lane.

Look forward to seeing you all later.

Good evening all, we have organised a new venue following the previous floodlight arrangement not working out.

We will now be moving to Stoneham Lane Football Complex(address on Spond)

There is a requirement for each player to register with the venue to receive a QR code in order to gain access to the site. Check out Spond for a registration link. Everyone who is attending a session must register!

Also as this is a 3G pitch, please adhere to the footwear rules pictured.

See all those who are marked as attending for this weeks session tomorrow!

🏉 Announcement 2 🏉

You will all be aware we have been using Facebook’s Booking system for some time now to manage session attendance. This has helped me out a lot, however it’s still not as helpful as it could be.

As a result, going forward we will now be using a team management app called Spond. For Monday 9th May, bookings via Facebook or Spond will be available. From the 10th May onwards, Spond will be the new way to book onto sessions and tournaments.

You can register via the following link - https://group.spond.com/QECLJ

Can I ask that anyone who wants to attend session or event, please sign up.

Not only does this provide better event/session management, but it also provides better notification capabilities and access for people who don't use Facebook.

The Facebook & Instagram Pages will still be here for general information and public announcements, along with a new website in a few weeks! 🎉

🏉 Announcement 1 🏉

Starting Monday 16th May 2022, we will be moving to a summer session time!

The summer session times will be 19:00 till 20:30 every Monday.

The venue remains the same but making use of the grass pitch directly opposite the site’s office, rather than the astro.

This also allows for a social gathering at the end of each session in the bar at the top of the hill should anyone want to!

We will remain at the summer timings until August 22nd, after which we will head back onto the astro starting the 29th August at the original 20:30 till 22:00 time slot.

NOTE: This coming weeks session (9th May) will be on the astro at the normal time. (20:30-22:00)

Look forward to seeing you all there!
