Dear Parent/Guardian
Since its formation approx 14 years ago, AFC Waverton has grown into the largest Junior Football Club in the Chester and District League and one of the largest and most successful in the whole of Cheshire.
The Club now has some 27 teams from reception age through to under 18s (including 3 girls teams that compete at under 12s, 14s and 16s) and the past few years have seen plenty of on field success for the Club. Last season alone saw the Club’s various teams win no fewer than 12 pieces of silverware, including an amazing 6 out of 6 cup wins at the end of season Duke of Westminster Cup Finals Day held at Chester City’s Deva Stadium.
AFC Waverton is also an FA Charter Standard Club which means the Club has received official recognition that it is a well run and sustainable junior football club, with child protection and safety paramount. The Charter Standard Award also recognises the club’s commitment to coaching, player & coach development, and the raising of standards of behaviour in the game - all of which are big priorities for The FA. The Club also recently won the overall Cheshire West and Chester Council Sports Club of the year award.
However, with success come the need for an ever growing team of volunteers to help run and administer the Club and as it enters it’s next stage of development and growth, we are looking for additional input from parents/guardians who are willing to get involved in the exciting future of the Club.
With this in mind we will be holding an “Open Evening” on Wednesday 25th January from 7.30 – 8.30pm at Christleton Primary School. At this meeting, we will be sharing a bit more about the Club, it’s history, it’s present status – but more importantly we will be sharing a bit more about the future development of the Club and the opportunities for you to get involved.
We would like to encourage as many as possible to come along to find out more about the Club and if you could join us on the 25th we would be delighted to see you there.
Kind regards
Graham Frost
