Bag4Sport

Here is a new fundraiser - ATCC need all your unwanted clothes (inc shoes, belts, caps, bags etc), bed linen and soft toys please. In addition to providing us with a source for funds, Bag4Sport encourages waste awareness and recycling, and helps to provide affordable clothing for those in less privileged situations.

It's simple; we collect these items in large orange plastic bags (which I am currently awaiting delivery of) and when we have sufficent the Bag4Sport charity will collect them; weigh them and we receive the funds.

When the cricket season begins we will be able to accept donations at the ground. But, please don't let that deter you from gathering items now. Please tell your friends and neighbours, have a grand collection and request your orange bag from me. The heavier these orange bags; the more cash we raise.

See www.bag4sport.co.uk for details.

DERRYL EAMES, who led Ashford to the Kent League premiership title in 1985, has returned to the club as a VIP Member. He expressed his "delight" in signing-up to the new membership initiative designed to recover the core senior membership lost to the club(s) over the past 20 years.

 02/12/2011 : Olympic effort(posted by Bill Day)

GIVEN a decent rub of the green; clutching a four-leaf clover with fingers crossed and a horseshoe for company; and with the prevailing wind in the right direction; Ashford Town members can look forward to a very happy 2012 season.

I left the annual meeting with renewed optimism. The clubhouse refurbishment is on the move; the treasurer is good enough to teach most European banks a lesson in management; the new club captain is a refreshing breath of early Spring; and the Colts have a new... (read more)
