Stradbroke Youth FC Awarded Charter Standard The FA has formally congratulated Stradbroke Youth FC for achieving the FA Charter Standard accreditation. This recognises that the club is one that is committed to raising standards throughout grassroots football, ensuring that it is well organised, well managed and providing a positive experience for all players, coaches and volunteers involved. The club was founded by Mike Readman and Don Darling in 2010. They and all the volunteers have worked hard to provide a positive and healthy environment for boys and girls to play football in Stradbroke, both competitively and just for fun. We thank everyone who has been involved with the club over the last 3 years for all their hard work which the FA has now recognised with this accreditation. Don Darling
Stradbroke Festifull! The 2013 festifull aims to be bigger and better than ever, with more for everyone. In addition to all the usual events (dog show, animal displays, side shows, stalls, & bouncy castles) we aim to resurrect some traditional fairground favourites such as the coconut shy, “splat a rat”, Stocks, and much more. We also plan new exhibits including “The Stradbroke Market Hall”, and a display of Military Vehicles. The second day will build on the success of last years “Its a knockout/Wipeout” with even zanier fun and games for all the family – and yes the Gunge tank will be there as well. Stradbroke’s 5-a-side youth football tournament (boys and girls) will also be running over the whole weekend bringing visitors and families from around the county to our village. So remember the dates June 29 & 30 . th

These events take a lot of arranging, but are great fun for both the organisers and the participants. Additional help would be much appreciated either before or on the day. Please get in touch with either Don (388098) or Nigel (384034) if you would like to volunteer your services. Don Darling
