I’d like to thank our leagues, clubs, players, partners and friends for all of your support throughout 2017. It has been a special year and I speak on behalf of the whole team at Northumberland FA when I say we look forward to working with you in 2018.

There are just a few things for me to cover in my column this week. Firstly, regular visitors to our website will have seen that dates for our spring 2018 Friday Night Elevens League have now been announced. We received great feedback from our autumn 2017 season and I know that one additional team has already signed up for next year’s League. So, if you and a group of friends or work colleagues would like to play football on a casual basis with no registration or admin responsibilities – get in touch with Mark Woodhall today or CLICK HERE for more information.

Finally, our offices will be closed for a Christmas break from Friday 22 December at 12:00pm until 9:00am on Tuesday 2 January 2018. However, some members of staff – including myself – will be contactable throughout this period should you have an urgent enquiry. To find out how you can get in touch over the festive period, please CLICK HERE

Enjoy the rest of your week and have a great Christmas.

John.
