SOCIAL EVENTS

Sunday 29th April and Sunday 13th May - Play at Moss Lane!

Altrincham FC chairman Grahame Rowley writes: Fancy playing at Moss Lane – home of Altrincham FC?

"Would you and your staff like to follow in the footsteps of such famous names as David Beckham, Paul Scholes, Alex Stepney and Frank Worthington? They’ve all played at Moss Lane at one time or another.

At the end of the current season the pitch will be available for hire to local companies on selected dates between Sunday 29th April and Sunday 13th May. You could reward your staff with a night out with a difference or perhaps challenge another branch of your company to a game of football in an enclosed environment with all the facilities you would expect from one of the North West’s premier semi-professional football clubs.

Your players will get the use of the home and away dressing rooms – the floodlights are free for you to use should you play your game in the evening. Afterwards, our fully licensed bar is open to you and all your guests. Catering can be arranged should you require it, alternatively you are welcome to bring your own food.

The cost to hire Moss Lane is £500 + VAT. This includes full use of the facilities including dressing rooms, showers and the bar during and after your match. Catering and match officials can be ordered should you wish.

Should you like to check available dates or to discuss your requirements please telephone Karen or Derek at the Football Club on 0161-928-1045 or email e-mail the office. Alternatively, you are welcome to view the facilities during office hours".

A colour leaflet for you to print off to show your boss, team-mates, or other interested partes is here.

ALL CHANGE FOR ALTY

Grahame Rowley writes:

"We have available for collection 'All Change for Alty' money boxes. This scheme was started last year for fans to collect small change and was a great success raising in excess of £1000. Seventy five boxes were distributed last year and this year we aim to distribute in excess of 100. Please consider taking one home – it’s a great way to help fundraising with very little effort. Your support would be much appreciated".

GOAL SPONSORSHIP

TASC's Steve Foster writes,

Steve Foster writes: "TASC are running the Goal Sponsorship scheme again for this season.

TASC therefore invite you to join the scheme in any form you wish. We are happy to have any arrangement, whether to sponsor an amount for every goal the team score, every clean sheet the team have, every goal an individual player scores, or even every penalty that Stuart Coburn or James Coates makes.

As last season, we will be updating you during the season of how much your sponsorship has cost you and we propose that the money should, as before be paid in a couple of instalments. The names of the goal sponsors and the amount that they have sponsored will be published in the programme.

If you are interested in sponsorship for this season, please send me an e-mail, call the club (0161 928-1045), or speak to me at any game.

Steve Foster".

RECYCLE YOUR PHONE FOR ALTY

Steve Foster writes:

For the new season, TASC are relaunching the mobile phone recycling scheme. Our target for this year is to raise the same amount as last year. We raised over £804.87 from 131 phones last year. As last year, please hand your old mobiles in to any member of the TASC committee, or to the boxes in the bar or shop, or to the club's offices during normal office hours on any working day.
