WOULD ALL CLUBS PLEASE READ

Morning gents

I was a little disappointed to receive reports on Monday from Dip farm and Normanston Park about the amount of litter left on the pitches after both the Saturday and Sunday games.

I would like to point out that the teams do not find the pitches covered in litter when they arrive and we do not expect to have to clear major amounts of litter when they finish 1 (hour extra to clear up after each day) the main problem seems to be insulation tape used to hold socks up

Would you please remind teams to clear up after they matches

Attendants have now been instructed to take photos of the litter and note the teams playing

These will be passed onto to you for further action.

If you are not in the position to action these comments please would you let me have the contact details of those who are

Thanks for your cooperation

Jim
