Casual League and give us all your money! (Please read me, I'm important)
Hello lovely Cows! Hope you’re all ok despite the dip in weather - silver lining is that the allotment needs less watering! Got a couple of things to share, mostly about money, soz... Casual League next year: the time has come to have the yearly discussion around how we will pick teams for next years’ Casual League, how many teams we’ll have, what is happening with the Casual League etc etc etc Let’s meet (have an EGM): 13/07/2021, 7.30pm. Most likely on Zoom, sadly. I’ll send out a link and reminder just before. If you want to have moaning rights about unfair teams / the picking mechanism / the plan you better be there!!! Training subs: just a wee gentle reminder that subs for training should still be paid over the summer, even though we’re in the park - the funds cover the coaching and give us a bit of a ‘cushion’ for training at City Academy in case we don’t have enough folk turn up to cover the costs (they’re not cheap!), and also get saved up towards our Ethical Fund - more on that below. Subs are £4 or £3 unwaged - pay at training (usually lovely Lizzie Winter collects cash) or pay online (Easton Cowgirls, Sort Code 08 92 99, Account number: 65168055). You can pay per session, pay per fortnight, 4-weekly or in whichever way you like. IMPORTANT: money should never be a barrier to football! If you haven’t got enough money to pay, talk to one of the folk in the committee (me, Zoe, Lizzie, Liz, Fran, Ev, Sensi, Wendy) and we will figure something out. Membership payment: we have a yearly membership fee of £20 (£10 un or low waged). This pays for things like equipment if we need any, the Ethical Fund, and any other random costs we incur that are not pitch hire. We were a bit slack last year collecting this, but it would be good to start again properly. If you want to play in the Casual League next year you will HAVE TO pay (unless money is so tight that you can’’t - again, talk to someone in the committee). Same account details as above, please put your name as a reference. Ethical Fund: we have an Ethical Fund that you can apply to if you’re in need yourself or there’s a specific project that needs funds. Smaller amounts can be agreed by the committee directly, larger requests will be put to the whole club. I’ve attached the agreed parameters of it for info. End of season awards: We would usually have a fairly substantial end of season party with the whole club, but alas, that seems unlikely this year. BUT: that should not stop us from awarding our usual End of Season Awards: The categories are: Player of the Season, Most Improved Player, Best Newcomer, Cowgirls Cowgirl, Cowgirls Wonky Donkey. Ev, Wendy and Sensi are our Social Secretaries, so if anyone would like to help them organise a survey and awards ceremony please give them a shout! That’s the business-stuff out of the way. Two more things: Big Ride for Palestine: a bunch of Cowgirls are cycling from Bristol to London to raise funds and awareness for Palestine. There are still a handful of spots left I think - you can sign up here: https://www.thebigride4palestine.com/big-ride-summer-2021 <https://www.thebigride4palestine.com/big-ride-summer-2021>. If you don’t fancy sore legs but want to support, we have set up a donation page for all of us - so give us all your money: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/easton-cowgirls?utm_source=Twitter&ut... <https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/easton-cowgirls?utm_source=Twitter&utm_medium=fundraising&utm_content=easton-cowgirls&utm_campaign=pfp-tweet&utm_term=5d4622463d424977bcfe5970f69174be> It’s my birthday on Thursday so if it’s not pissing it down will have a drink or three after training - repeat of last week, really! :) Right, I recon that’s enough info for one email! See you on Thursday hopefully! Moocho cow-love, Becs Chair of the Easton Cowgirls
