It's 1 month since we held the meeting to form AFC Croydon Athletic.
Much has happened and slowly we are gettiing there. So far we have 55 members but many that I would have expected to join are so far missing. It is difficult because at the moment things are happening in the background. Those who have not joined should remember to get the newsletter, on what's happening, you must be a member. Also there will soon be the 1st AGM, probably in late April. To attend you must be a member when you will be able to vote for the committee. So come on join today. To view the link you have to Register or Login COME ON YOU RAMS

Today we attended the meeting at the FA where they considered our application to be placed in step 6, Combined Counties League. This followed an intense period of work to get us in a position where we can show that we are competent to compete at that level.
At the meeting we were joined by the CEO of the London Football Association and the Secretary of the Combined Counties League who attended to add their support to our application. Still plenty to do but we have come a long way already. Paul Smith

I wanted to add a little more detail to the information that has been released about our current position. I wasn't at the meeting with the FA yesterday, although I did attend the first meeting last month. It seems that Paul and Alan were interviewed for well over an hour but felt confident that all questions were answered to the satisfaction of the sub-committee.
The Combined Counties League have been very positive and attended the meeting to support our application to join Division One of their league in August. The London FA were also at the meeting and they also offered their support to AFC Croydon Athletic to join at Step 6 next season. They have also confirmed that they do not have a problem with the proposed name, that is, they are happy for us to use "AFC". This has been an ongoing bone of contention for some time and it is great to receive the news that we can use the name particularly as we have formed a company, opened a bank account and registered a domain name in that name! There will be a meeting on 9th May where, all being well, we will be accepted into the Combined Counties League for next season. Paul (Smith) has put in a huge amount of work on the proposal, which ran to 27 pages, and in meetings with many parties. I'm sure that the proposal was well received by the Leagues Management Committee and has helped pave the way to, what appears to be, a successful application to join a league, We will almost certainly play at Croydon Arena. Croydon FC have been very accommodating in this respect. We will have use of all facilities on match days and will be able to use the clubhouse for fundraising events, which will be very important to us. Regarding the budget, of which there are two - one for Croydon Arena and one should we return to Mayfields - we still need an additional 15-20 members to meet our budgeted target. We then need to find sponsors and undertake fundraising events to meet our commitments and compete at the highest possible level. If you have not become a member due to the uncertainty surrounding the phoenix club, and I can fully understand this, we will soon have certainty about our future, so please reconsider your position. We are awaiting the bank account details to enable you to make direct payments but you can, in the meantime, pay your membership fee into The Rams Army account, where funds are separately accounted for, or make a payment via PayPal from which funds will be transferred into the new bank account. Our AGM has been set for Thursday 10th May where any member can stand for election to the committee. These are exciting times. It's not very often that you have the opportunity to be involved in the birth of a new football club.

A mate of mine has asked about the trials. He has been playing at Colliers Wood but is interested in moving.
Can anyone let me know how he goes about getting his name down, or just dates that any open trial days would be on? Cheers guys G
