Parent Reps / Charity Collection message from Chairman Paul Rodgers 24/12/09:

Hi everyone, I have just heard from Swings and Smiles that on Sunday 20th we collected a total of £660.19
For the time we spent there this is a fantastic amount. Sian Cook, the founder of Swings and Smiles, has asked me to pass on here sincerest thanks for this. We would not have been able to organise this without the help of you so on behalf of the committee of AFC Newbury I would also like to thank you very much for your help with this.  A special mention must go out to the Under 7’s with the help of Jenny Freer who arrived with over a dozen volunteers! Thanks to the Freer family themselves also who put in a 2 hour stint due to having two sons in different age groups!!

As a club we can be very proud of this collection, we often draw many favourable comments from passers by when doing these collections, this can only reflect well on the club and please our sponsors. This would not have been possible without your efforts.
Thanks again and have a great Christmas and New Year

KITS TO AFRICA
Just to let you know that our old kit has now been collected by the RAF who will distribute it to under privileged children, probably in Kenya. Chairman Paul Rodgers will do some more on this in the next newsletter but our old kit will probably go to schools and Aids Orphanages. For more details click here. To hear the Newbury Sound  radio interviews click here for Paul Rodgers (AFCN) and here for Neil Hope (RAF). Thanks for all your help collecting this!

Rebranding - we recently decided to redesign of our club logo which you can see at the top of each page. This new badge will be shown on all new documentation and kit for the coming season. The centre piece is Donnington Castle which represents a link to our local history, the shield outline, football & year established remain similar to our old version. We have also simplified the wording by removing the word "Boys" should we wish to reform a girls teams in the future.
