Hey all!
I hope you've all read the Peashooter by now (if you haven't, take a look,
I recon it's one of the best published yet...), and following on from it
thought I'd share this as I really liked it!
It's just a wee reminder that it's ok to struggle and some handy tips to
recognise when you're struggling and what you might be able to do about it.
Be kind. To everyone always, but especially to yourself right now.
Lots of Cow-love,
Becs xx

Subject: Queer football panel
To: salwood82(a)gmail.com <salwood82(a)gmail.com>
Yo!
Looking for people to be part of a panel discussion on zoom talking about
your lived experience as an LGBT+ or queer person playing football.
I will be hosting the panel. It’ll be fun and relaxed, we’ll be unpacking
good and bad experiences of queerness in football. Absolutely no experience
necessary in regards to speaking on a panel.
The event will be held in February at some point for LGBT+ history month,
will let folks know exact dates soon.
It’s a collaboration with an organisation called Football vs Homophobia who
I’ve started freelancing with. It’s a paid gig. If any questions please
feel free to contact me via sharifawjames(a)gmail.com

Good evening all!
As you can imagine from yesterday’s prime time telly, we’re not allowed to train right now. Poo.
However, Marcella has kindly offered her amazing workout again, so:
If you would like to join via Zoom, please let me know ASAP by sending a message to 07944216036 or replying to me via email. It’ll be 7:30-8:15pm on Thursday, cost £4 / 3 (waged / unwaged), payable in advance to Marcella directly.
We will then meet in the ‘virtual pub’ after. Someone will send out new links closer to the time.
Thanks all! Hope you’re all ok. If anyone is not ok, chat to someone. I’m always happy to, as are lots of other Cows. Let’s look after our herd.

Hello!
Please let me know if you are planning to come to training this Thursday -
it will be the LAST session this year.
CAB will be closed until the New Year, so our next session after this week
will be the 07/01/2021.
I won't be there on Thursday, so hope you all have as good a festive season
as possible in these weird times!
All the cow love,
Becs
Hello!
Anyone willing / able to look into maybe doing a nomination for the Plough
/ the club / someone specific in relation to the Community Veg box that has
been running since March for this: Lord Mayor's medals - bristol.gov.uk
<https://www.bristol.gov.uk/council-and-mayor/lord-mayors-medals>
I think it might need to be for a specific person and you can't nominate
yourself / your partner. Maybe we could nominate Angelo or something like
that?
I haven't got time just now to look into it, sorry, but thought I'd share
to see if anyone else can.
Thanks folks, hopefully see you tonight at training! REMEMBER: wear masks
for going through the building to the pitch and if you are coming please
let me know in advance!
All the cow love,
Becs
Hello all!
TRAINING IS BACK ON!!!
Wohooo!!! We can go back to City Academy for 2 sessions before Christmas (10 and 17/12/2020).
If you are coming this Thursday please send me a message in advance - ideally I need to let them know ahead of time who is coming. We will also need to manage numbers carefully so let me know asap - my number is 07944216036 or email me.
DONT FORGET: bring a face mask and wear it when we’re going through the building to the pitch. Use the alcohol gel provided. And not to lick or drink it...
Travel to training is sadly only ok for people from Bristol, N Somerset and S Glos as they are all in Tier 3 right now. That might change if/when tiers change.
See you in a couple of days!!!!!!!!

Interim Chair of the Easton Cowgirls
Hello all,
I have literally just had a message from City Academy telling me that they still don’t know if they will be open this week / on Thursday. They are waiting on an announcement from the FA before making a decision.
So, as it stands, we sadly have to assume that there will be NO in-person training this week, unless you hear otherwise from me or someone else in the committee before then.
However, if there is no in-person training there will still be a HITT session with Marcella for the same cost of training (£4 waged / £3 unwaged. I’m not sure I should admit this but I possibly sweat more during Marcie’s sessions that I would during some training sessions, so it’s definitely money well spent.
I will forward you anything even remotely resembling an update as soon as I have it.
We will get back to training! Maybe not this week, but soon!

Hello everyone!
I’m sure you were all as excited as I was to hear that grassroots football can re-start at the end of Lockdown 2.0 regardless of what tier we are in. YAY!
Thing is, we are also reliant on City Academy opening their pitches again, so I’ve emailed them to find out more. Right now, they have told me that they have requested some additional information from the FA and are waiting on that before making a decision. So we don’t know yet. BOO! But I will let you all know what is happening about training next week as soon as I know more, promise.
Please cross your fingers and toes. Hopefully see you on the pitch soon!
All the Cow-love,
Becs
