Our summer outing to Knockhatch, when we all get together again to enjoy our picnic lunch; we all had so much fun especially on the jumping pillows. Sports Day went really well, the children enjoyed the races and were very proud to receive a certificate and medal. Thank you to everyone who came to support us and for all the donations, we raised £140. We had lots of visitors, the ‘Giant Snails’ came to stay for a week when the children helped to look after them, also chicks, ducklings, butterflies, stick insects and guinea pigs called Fluffy and Lucky. The children starting Westfield School this September loved the visits to the Reception class and spending time with their new teachers. A fantastic time was had at our leaver’s party, held outside; the children had such fun in the tree house, playing games, building a fire to cook toast and popcorn followed by a picnic. I wish all the children and their families all the best for the future, they will be missed. I would like to say a big thank you to my staff and the committee for all the hard work that is put into our playgroup. Check out our Facebook page to see all the lovely things we do and activities offered. If you are interested we have spaces available; you are welcome to drop in at any time. Our opening times are Monday, Tuesday and Thursday 9 am - 3 pm and Wednesday 9 am - 12 noon.

Westfield Youth Football Club This is a busy time of Year for Football Club Secretaries preparing for and submitting Affiliation Requests and registering players with the Leagues they will be playing in for next season - Games will be starting mid September 2017. There is a lot of work going on behind the scenes and it reminds me of a majestic swan in a flooded river. I have taken on the role as Youth Secretary in May 2017 due to unforeseen circumstances that have happened during the last season. To briefly update the WCA in February 2017 Westfield FC was made aware that Pass and Move Football Coaching Ltd were stepping away from Westfield FC to create their own club. This had come as quite a shock personally. As a manager of one of the 16+ Youth teams ranging from u8 to u17, I had been unaware of these plans. All teams that had been created as Westfield Youth FC during its association with Pass and Move Coaching Ltd were taken to the new club. This was against the wishes of the club committee. So the task has been set to rebuild our Youth Football Club over the next few Seasons concentration on the Mini Soccer sides at u7-u9 and then Youth Soccer U10 -U12. This season we will only have two youth sides at u13 and u14 age group. Both will play their home games at The Parish Field. Alternate Saturday Mornings with 0930ko. Playing at the Parish Field causes some issues and one of those is the lack of suitable sized 21ft by 7ft - safe freestanding goals. An application for a funding grant has been made and was due to be discussed at Westfield Parish Council meeting on 2nd August. We hope it was successful. Moving forward we hope WFC will be supported locally so we can continue providing first class grassroots football opportunities to our children. We have retained the FA Charter Standard club award and have applied for the last part of a grant from the Footballing Foundation. We will continue to uphold the values and standards our players and parents have become accustomed to during recent years. Our activities for local children can be seen on our Facebook page at 'Westfield Youth FC', they are also posted onto 'What’s On in Westfield' and other similar pages to keep local people aware of the sporting activities being held. Most activities are provided free of charge as run by volunteers who do not get paid. The take up by new players is disappointing. We shall continue our efforts and concentrate on local Schools at the start of the new school year for new players. WFC is keen to get Businesses involved with the club through Sponsorship. There are many ways to help from Sponsoring kits for an individual team, Sponsor a Volunteer coach (New opportunity), make a donation towards the clubs expenses, giving your time and expertise when needed. Local businesses such as The New Inn, Webbes Restaurant and Woodbase Joiners Ltd have all sponsored our Youth sides. We have also received invaluable help from local businesses when damage was caused at The Parish Field and also to keep our Grounds Machinery working. This support is amazing and really helps our volunteers and the club in general to function on limited funds. We are actively looking for a suitable person to be the club treasurer. A very important responsible position on the club committee - If you think you could help please contact gill.attewell@gmail.com Lastly if you have any wish to become involved with the Football Club adult or Youth please make contact with any club members, Committee members or the Secretaries. We would welcome you all with a cup of tea and lots to do. Heath Moir WFC Youth Secretary, Charter Standard Club 35
