Attention all Dads! Error in previous posting!

Please note that the Thursday, February 21st posting re the Dads and Kids Club at Bartongate Children's Centre states that you will be able to leave your children at the Centre whilst you play football. Please note that this will not be the case until creche workers are provided - ie you will not be able to leave your children at the Centre whilst you play football until we get this sorted. Apologies for any confusion caused.

However, the Dads and Kids Club will still run every Saturday - and you can still earn points for your team if you attend the club. We will of course let you know about the availability of creche facilities when ready.

Message to all players!

Dads and Kids Club - March 1st - and every Saturday

As of Saturday March 1st, the Dads and Kids Club formally housed by The Trust Centre will be moving to Bartongate Children's Centre (near GL1) on a Saturday morning between 9.30 am and 1.00pm. This means that if you want to bring your children along they will be cared for by Children's Centres professionals (Glos County Council) whilst you play football. There will be activities for your children (of any age) - you can call in before the football commences for a cup of tea etc - and return there afterwards to collect or play with your kids as you wish. This service will be available every Saturday. If you attend the club we'll add points to your team's score! See poster below for further details.

The club will be launched on March 1st - prizes from last season including a signed England football shirt, match tickets for Cheltenham Town FC, JJB vouchers, and Haynes Men's Health manuals will finally be awarded. Come along and earn your team some points!

Pro Team Vs Team Dad

Pro Team climb to first place!

A final score of Pro Team 16, Team Dad 10 earns Pro Team the 3 points for the football and Pro Team climb to the top of the league by dads completing some of the health activities - adding 8 points to their points haul. These, plus the 3 points from the game - mean that Pro Team have overhauled Old Guns at the top of the table. This should be an incentive for other teams to take note and complete their activities - otherwise they may find themselves slipping down the table - Old Guns beware!

On another note the KickStart team have been informed via the referee that one unidentified player left the field following a foul - we'd be grateful if that dad could get in touch via the KickStart mobile number (mentioned on the right-hand column of this blog) to confirm he is OK - thanks! The league is provided for fitness, health and parenting issues - it's a physical contact sport - but we don't want anyone to get hurt - OK. Thanks.

Week 10

Match postponed

The match on 9th February between the Good, the Dad, and the Ugly and Team Dad had to be cancelled as only half the players turned up (c'mon guys!) The match will now be rescheduled to be played at the end of the season.

Pro Team Vs Old Guns

In the words of one wag - the only thing that stank more than the bibs taken away for a wash at the end of the match was Pro Team's footballing skills. Harsh words? Possibly - but the final score doesn't belie the truth: Pro Team 6 - Old Guns 37. What a drubbing! Questions need to be asked - come on Pro Team!

More Health and Parenting Activities to be sent out this week.Pro Team - we suggest you fill 'em in quick!

Week 8

Old Guns Vs Team Dad

No repeat of the earlier draw between these two teams this time around - Team Dad were soundly beaten. Final score Old Guns 15 Team Dad 8.
