Child Protection in Sport Awarness Workshop

A big thank you to all our coaches, assistant coaches, committee members and our Child Welfare officer who all attended and successfully completed tonight’s Chid Protection in Sport Awarness Workshop.

Sandra McAuley , Code of Ehtics Tutor, gave an interesting and informative course in Child Welfare to all who attended. This year it will be a legal requirement for all involved in training and coaching children to have completed this course and tonight marked an extremely important step for us in JFC to have our volunteers trained to the highest standard available.

Without our volunteers giving up their free time to be trained we would not be able to run a successful club and for this I hope you can join me in thanking them all for their continued dedication to the club.

Welcome

After a lot of late hours and trawling around the MDL with my camera we are live in our new home on the web.

It’s been two years since I started the official club Facebook page and over these two years the page has become a good resource for all club members.

So now today Monday the 19th of August we launch our new website. I hope this resource will become as valued as our Facebook page and I hope you all enjoy the site and find it useful.

This year I’m going to try and keep the senior teams league table up to date and it will contain fixtures and results for all our teams. I will continue to live tweet and facebook matches too.

If you have any suggestions please feel free to drop me a line or leave a comment bellow
