.... a note for your diaries !!!

14th December 2009

The turn out for the Pace Ladies night was disappointing. Despite the fatastic efforts of the female members of the committee, not enough people supported it. The night raised ?288, of which the club are donating ?100 to Children in Need.

Hi All

We hope all those that attended enjoyed the Halloween Party, we were really pleased with the turnout, and especially all the effort the kids made with their fancy dress outfits and Pumpkins! The judging was really difficult! Any feedback about the event would be welcome! Hoping to have some photos on the pace website later this month!

The 'Pace Supports Children in Need' Ladies Night and Swishing event is on Friday 20th November at 7pm, and you should have all received the attached flyer by now giving you details of the event.

We hope you will come and support the event and please invite friends and family! (Feel free to print a copy of the flyer and display anywhere you think would be a good place to advertise)!

We are having a Tombola at the event and would really appreciate any donations such as unwanted smellies, alcohol, cuddly toys, anything you think could be used on the Tombola! Please pass these to any committee member (our contact details are on the pace website, www.pacefc.co.uk, or pass to your team manager and we will collect from them.

Any questions about the Tombola donations, or the event itself, feel free to contact me.

We are really enjoying putting these social events on for you all to enjoy, and we hope you'll support us by either attending or helping with Tombola donations!

If you have any ideas for future social events, we'd love to hear from you.

Finally, just a reminder, the Pace Xmas Party (including the much loved Kids Raffle) will be on Friday 18th December at 7pm at Totton & Eling Sports Club. Further details re tickets will be available end of November.

Thanks for your time

Congratulations :

Hampshire Cup finals 4 Pace teams have made the Finals (U11, U12, U13, U14)

The Club has recently been awarded the Charter Standard status by the Hampshire Football Association (FA). This sets high standards and responsibilities in terms of Coaching; Parent/ Player Conduct and Organisation -

THE FA CHARTER STANDARD programme was launched in February 2001 to establish, reward and encourage good practice at the grassroots level, so that parents and children can demand a minimum standard of provision from schools, clubs and holiday courses.

The project is at the heart of The Football Association's investment programme for grassroots football and the status is awarded where The FA’s minimum standards of coaching, administration and child protection are met.

Many Grants and Funding Opportunities provided by the FA and the Football Foundation are only available to clubs who have gained, or are working towards, Charter Standard.

CHARTER STANDARD AIMS TO...
Provide a nationally recognised quality control 'kitemark'
Identify clubs and organisations where best practice exists
Improve the quality of provision of football for everyone
Sustain participation of football players for a longer time
Raise the standards of the grassroots game
There are 4 levels of Charter Standard

1. Charter Standard Club
2. Charter Standard Adult Club
3. Charter Development Club
4. Charter Community Club

Each Level depends upon the size, type and ambition of the club.
