As the season draws to a close it’s time to think about how we can say ‘thank you’ to all the volunteers who keep football going every week throughout the County. The Football Association has produced a volunteer certificate and new for this year a FA Volunteer pin badge for clubs and league volunteers, which your Club/League can present to your volunteers as one way to recognise their contribution to the game.
If your club would like to order some certificates, and pin badges please complete the reply slip in the related document on the right of the page and return it by the end of May to
Football Workforce
c/o The Media Group
1 Wilford Business Park
Ruddington Lane
Nottingham
NG11 7EP
Certificates and pin badges will then be sent to you by the end of June.
Clubs, leagues, schools and organisation can also nominate a person using the nomination form on the right, to be considered by the Herefordshire Football Association for a County Football Volunteer Workforce Award. This form should be returned to the Herefordshire Football Association by Friday 16th May 2008
The Herefordshire FA will select and present County Football Workforce Awards. The Herefordshire Football Association will then nominate one person to the FA for consideration for a national award. From these nominations the FA will choose 7 people to receive National Football Workforce Awards for their contribution to football during the 2007 - 08 season.
In addition you can nominate a Young Volunteer [Under 18 at start of the season] for recognition for thier contribution to grassroots football. The Herefordshire Football Association will select 1 young volunteer winner and nominate this person to The FA who in turn will choose 3 Young Volunteers to attend The FA Community Shield.
If you do have any queries please do not hesitate to Paul Carpenter at the HFA on 01432 342179 or by email paul.carpenter@herefordshirefa.com
Thank you and all your colleagues for all you do on behalf of our grassroots football in Herefordshire.
