Dear Clubs,
We wrote to you all last week to advise of the league Secretary, Ian Andrew’s resignation, effective 30/9/20.
In that communication we asked for volunteers to step forward to assume a couple of roles that Ian had undertaken voluntarily, namely Fines Secretary and League Match Secretary North.
To date we have had no communication from any club to help with these vacancies.
This is surprising, from northern clubs, who may see disruption to their fixtures in the event that the League Match Secretary role is unfulfilled.
Accordingly, we would urge club officers and members to consider putting themselves forward for these vacancies and doing so promptly.
If the positions are not filled by new volunteers it is likely that the league will incur cost to administer the work arising that will in turn inevitably push up club fees and charges.
Please contact Neill Johnstone at neilljohnstone@me.com to register your interest.
Best wishes,
John Maskell
Chairman
AFC

​Dear Clubs/Referees,
 
I am writing to advise you that our long standing secretary, Ian Andrews, has decided to step down from his many active roles and has formally provided to me a letter of resignation, effective 30th September 2020.
In addition to standing down from his paid administration role as secretary of the league, Ian is also standing down from his voluntary roles as northern league match secretary, registration and fines secretary.
 
Ian has served diligently in these roles for almost a decade and I’m sure you will join me in thanking him for all his hard work and dedication over these years.
As you would expect, the league executive is moving forward with plans to find a successor to Ian in both his paid and voluntary roles.
 
In this regard, I would ask you to recommend or put forward details of any individual who you know, who may be looking for a part time, paid administration role and who has appropriate football administration skills and experience, and essentially, knowledge of Whole Game System and Full Time. Please send the candidate details at the earliest opportunity to our league executive member, Neill Johnstone who is overseeing this process neilljohnstone@me.com
 
In addition, we are seeking new volunteers to come forward to assist in the running of the league and to fulfil the voluntary roles being vacated by Ian. This is your league so please do consider giving up some spare time to assist in its running or ask that your club colleagues consider doing so. Again, please let Neill Johnstone know of any willing volunteer.
Best wishes,
 
John Maskell
Chairman
