Statement about incident at training on 04/05/23
by Hannah Popham 11 May '23

11 May '23

Dear Cowgirls, On 4/5/23 there was an incident at training. Some committee members were present, and immediately informed the other committee members of the nature of the incident. For the sake of transparency, the committee wanted to let you know how the incident was managed. We quickly agreed to have an emergency committee meeting on 8/5/23. There was some debate about whether this incident should be managed solely by the two co-chairs, or by the whole committee. Ultimately, it was decided that diversity of thought from the whole committee would be helpful. Before the meeting, the committee asked for written accounts of the incident from the main parties involved, and from people considered to be neutral witnesses. A number of people also provided a statement of their own volition. These were read by the committee before the meeting, in addition to the club constitution and the FA coaches code of conduct. It was clear that there were many different perspectives to what happened. The committee met for 90 minutes on 8/5/23. Present were: Hannah (co-chair), Sensi (co-chair), Peta (vice chair), Lizzie (secretary), Isy (treasurer), Ev (social sec), Rona (social sec), Jo (social sec). We discussed that while many people were involved in the incident, two were close to a physical altercation, and therefore this was the main focus of the meeting. We tried our utmost to keep every single persons’ wellbeing at the heart of the conversation, but also acknowledged that we as a committee have a duty of care to ensure that training is a safe space for everyone, and therefore felt it was important to treat this incident as a serious matter. After much discussion, the committee agreed that the two main parties would be asked to take a 2 week “cooling off period” in which they would not attend training or games. In that period, they would have the opportunity to discuss the incident with the co-chairs, and also were given a contact within the committee to reach out to for support. Additionally, we recommended that both parties meet to clear the air if they were comfortable to do so. The committee agree unanimously that the conduct on 4/5/23 was unacceptable, and not within the ethos of our club. However, it became clear that there had been some brewing tensions that fed into this incident. This has highlighted the need for a more clear method for members to communicate concerns and feedback with the committee, and a more thorough process for feedback and concerns to be addressed. This will be discussed at the upcoming QGM. The Committee.

Fw: Today's action for Palestine: No Eurovision Party with Apartheid
by Susannah Mallaghan 09 May '23

09 May '23

Quick action to email the European Broadcasting Union and to tell it to suspend Israel from the contest. Not only has the European Broadcasting Union refused to listen to Palestinians – but it’s been complicit in covering up Israel’s crimes. This year’s pre-Eurovision party “Israel Calling” saw participants plant trees on top of ethnically cleansed Palestinian villages, whose displaced residents are barred by Israel from returning. It is shameful that a Eurovision Party took place on stolen land, whose indigenous owners are prevented from returning. ________________________________ From: Lewis, Palestine Solidarity Campaign <Do-Not-Reply(a)palestinecampaign.org> Sent: 08 May 2023 12:01 To: Susannah <scruffylittlevera(a)hotmail.co.uk> Subject: Today's action for Palestine: No Eurovision Party with Apartheid Tell Eurovision to suspend ties with apartheid Israel View this email in your browser<https://mailchi.mp/palestinecampaign.org/1stdayofactionforpalestine?e=d25ab…> [https://gallery.mailchimp.com/39b479575f6b893766d815ffd/images/50c69ab3-e80…] Dear Susannah, As we lead up to the national march in London on 13 May we are asking you to take action each day in a week of action for Palestine. Here’s what you can do today: Tomorrow, the first semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest will be taking place in Liverpool. The contest should be a space for joyful celebration. But Eurovision's organisers refuse to distance the contest from Israel's grave violations of Palestinian rights. There should be no Eurovision party that includes Israeli apartheid. Can you email the European Broadcasting Union and to tell it to suspend Israel from the contest? Email the European Broadcasting Union<https://palestinecampaign.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=39b479575f6b89…> If you’re in Merseyside, Liverpool Friends of Palestine are organising a range of events against apartheid Israel’s inclusion in the event, including a protest tomorrow. Can you join? Join protests in Liverpool<https://palestinecampaign.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=39b479575f6b89…> The European Broadcasting Union continues to allow Israel to take part in the contest, despite Israel’s decades-long regime of oppression against the Palestinian people. Inspired by the South African anti-apartheid struggle, Palestinians have called on organisers of cultural events to refuse ties with Israel while it continues to deny them their basic rights. Not only has the European Broadcasting Union refused to listen to Palestinians – but it’s been complicit in covering up Israel’s crimes. This year’s pre-Eurovision party “Israel Calling” saw participants plant trees on top of ethnically cleansed Palestinian villages, whose displaced residents are barred by Israel from returning. It is shameful that a Eurovision Party took place on stolen land, whose indigenous owners are prevented from returning. Its vital we send the European Broadcasting Union a clear message – don’t party with Israeli apartheid. Email the EBU<https://palestinecampaign.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=39b479575f6b89…> Thanks for taking action and stay tuned for tomorrow’s notice.

In case you haven't seen please see the below information for the network tour in Leeds . Dear friends As the summer’s draws nearer we have more news on this summer’s main event: Republica’s Ruby Revolution! Celebrating 40 years of the club in God’s Own Country (aka YORKSHIRE YORKSHIREE YORKSHIREEEE) Specifically, the tournament will be at: Bradford and Bingley Sports Club, YORKSHIRE, BD16 1LT The set-up will include a mixed 11-aside and a 7-aside tournament inclusive of women, non-binary people and all trans players. We are asking for people attending to buy a ticket for the event (in place of a team entry fee). We’ve gone old school and used a google form and bank transfer to save on fees from a ticket site. But if there’s any problem paying this way then please let us know. Please send this link around your team and ask people to pay as soon as they are able. This will help massively with covering the overheads of the tournament. The link to purchase tickets is here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1xLWX4NNwqPihqcZE1_K20j2y6A4jnfuPZrmHrJIWgy… In addition to this (and maybe even more importantly), can you could please reply to this email and let us know whether anyone from your team will be attending, which tournament they will be taking part in, and a rough estimate of numbers ASAP then this would be very useful. If you don't have a full teams worth then no worries - we will try and combine you with others to form a team! Kids are welcome (and encouraged!). Any dogs must be kept on a lead at all times. We will be operating a Safer Spaces policy which will be shared before the event, and we will not tolerate any actions that make other participants feel excluded, uncomfortable, vulnerable or threatened. The clubhouse has ramp access and disabled toilet facilities. The camping is accessed over the other side of the river across a bridge which takes about 5/10 minutes to get to depending where you are on the site. If you have accessibility requirements and would prefer to be camped next to the clubhouse and main entertainment area then please let us know. Let us know any questions Love, Molly Sent from Outlook for Android<https://aka.ms/AAb9ysg>

PITCH
by Sensi Mclean 17 Apr '23

17 Apr '23

Please see below regarding a theatre production called pitch. If you are interested in taking part, please let me know. I need responses by the 23rd of April. Hello, I hope you are well. My name is Ellie and I'm a set and costume designer and an associate artist of November Theatre. I am getting in touch about a project that Director (and Artistic director of NT) Nell Bailey are co-developing and the possibility of some of your players, and alumni being involved. To give you some more information about the show: Pitch is a show about Football and the LGBTQIA+ community. In the wake of the controversial Qatar World Cup and eagerly awaiting the 2023 Women’s Tournament, Pitch will bring together a diverse group of queer artists and present a collage of historical and present day queerness in relation to football. The show is a devised piece, with a documentary focus – created from interviews, objects and stories that emerge from the whole team training together as a 5-a-side squad and interviews with queer players and fans. The audience will watch us play (some of us for the first time), listen to us give a voice to those who couldn’t and still can’t be proud, ask why 30% of football fans admitted they’d find two men kissing at a match uncomfortable and help us imagine a future in which queer presence in football is more than just a debate over a rainbow armband. As part of the process, Nell and I are reaching out to teams across the UK and asking about the possibility of doing some interviews and collecting sound recordings that we will use as part of our research whilst developing the show. We are based in London, (but are both from Bristol!) and are happy to discuss what connecting could look like. As time is limited to us, we'd love to set up a call, a zoom, or we could send through questions that members who are interested could respond to via video or voice note – whatever you imagine would work well for the team. It's really important that the show is by our community and for the community, which is why we'd love to ensure non-London voices are involved. The show is currently heading up to the Edinburgh Fringe for a work-in-progress run which we hope will then be followed by a regional tour, meaning we can return the show to those whose voices shaped it. If you've got any further questions or need to know more about the show please don't hesitate to get in touch. We both look forward to hearing from you soon! Best wishes, Ellie and Nell Sent from Outlook for Android<https://aka.ms/AAb9ysg>

Football location: Caribbean Cricket Club, Scott Hall Road, LS7 2HH After party location: New Moorside Club, LS6 2PW (5 minutes drive/cycle from pitches/20 min walk) The CCC is having a renovation so sadly cannot use it for the after party but the New Moorside is close by for all our party needs. There will be portaloo toilets at the CCC and toilets nearby at Scott Hall Leisure Centre. Rough schedule for the day: 11:45 Registration at the Caribbean Cricket Club 12:30 Kick off 4:00 Final Game 4:15 Group photo + awards (weather dependent – if not will do at New Moorside) 5:30 New Moorside – buffet will be available with suggested £5 donation 6:00 Raffle announcement Dancing, DJs, partying etc etc etc until midnight - There will be two sections to the tournament this year (see below). All played on GRASS. Suggested cost is £5 per person.

Cathy will also be selling her legendary Mexicanas throughout the day. - May Day is about playing a football tournament in an environment that is free from aggression, oppression, and the toxicity that football can often bring.

We would like to remind all players that that we expect people to adhere to Republica’s Safer Spaces policy throughout the day and being inclusive and supportive of all players on the pitch. There will be prizes for each team and the 1st place trophy will probably be the shittest so get ready to win ‘Best Dressed’, ‘Most Spirited’ or ‘Best Craic’ to name a few. Any questions please message Alice on 07876507206. Reminder! Please let me know by Wednesday 12/04/23 to confirm your team’s attendance
