PETERSFIELD TOWN JUNIORS FOOTBALL CLUB
Minutes of Managers meeting
Held on the 4th October 2013 at the Square Brewery
Apologies were received from Andrew Cannon, Adam Lipscombe, Richard Knights, Mark Chinnock,
Paul Widgery, Dee Bukbardis and Georgia Thomas.
Secretary’s Report
The Secretary spoke at length regarding the fines that have already been received this season. She
reminded Managers that it was agreed last season that if a fine for a player was received, then that
player would be expected to pay the fine.
The time limit for payment of fines is very short, so the secretary is paying the fine direct to Hampshire
FA and then emailing the manager concerned, the Chairman and Vice Chairman.
It is then expected that the Manager will collect the fine and take the payment round to the Secretary’s
house as soon as it possible to do so.
Fixtures are very tight this season, and she apologised on the lack of flexibility there is. Saturday is
proving a problem already with so many Saturday fixtures. Herne Junior School is in reserve to be
used, but if possible we want to keep as many matches as possible at Love Lane to give full capacity
for the shop.
Hampshire Cup score cards will be handed out at the end of the meeting. All that has to be done is put
the players on, mark the referee and put it in a box. Everything else has been completed in advance.
Remember to post the scorecard as soon as the match is over. We have already received a £15 fine for a
late scorecard from Hampshire FA.
Everyone will have their photo taken this evening so that they can be uploaded onto the website.
Chairman’s Report
The Chairman welcomed Mandy Winter to her first meeting in the Club in her new capacity as Child
Welfare Officer.
Please ensure that everyone has completed their forms. These must be completed every three years.
You can complete this online and then Mandy will get back to the mangers when they have been
notified.
Mandy will send out the link to everyone again, and everyone can register with their FAN number.
Level 1 certificate, safeguarding and 1st aid – Please encourage everyone to do it in the next couple of
months. Once you have done this you will be eligible to attend the Youth Module. Every coach should
attend, but they must have level one first. The cost will be covered by the club. Dates are being
confirmed with Wey Valley.
The new website is growing- please encourage all your parents to sign up to it. This needs to be used as
a hub for information. There is a need to get all the email address on the website as well. To date only
54 of the 80 have signed up with their email address.
Lee will follow up queries by contacting Pitcherio
Line marking – ask you parents to help out. Remember to keep everyone behind the respect line.
Leading on from respect lines, Hampshire FA will be doing spot checks all the time, so it is in your
interest and the club’s interest to have everything in place. 1st aid kits must be with you at all times. If
you haven’t got one let the Chairman know and you will be issued with one.
Ensure you have a list of any medical requirements your players might have and all emergency contact
numbers.
Pavilion Housekeeping
During the summer the Pavilion was cleared out and cleaned
Please ensure all equipment is put away correctly, there have been occasions when this has not
happened.
There has been a delivery of 9 a side goal posts, please lock away. Padlock number is 1966
Ensure the lights are off and everything has been locked securely.
We do need to look for more storage and the Chairman will be approaching the Town Council on this
to see if they can assist in anyway.
Next week on Monday night there will be the start of 20 hours of free mentoring. Yvonne Peters’
U10G will be first then it will go to other teams. Alex Twitching who will be mentoring is a licensed

Training started at TPS this week. Please ensure that everyone wears the correct footwear. Also be
mindful of any rubbish that might be left behind.

There are a couple of spare slots left. Perhaps one could be used for regular manager football matches.
The ladies are also interested in taking a slot as they did last year.
