EGM REMINDER TONIGHT (Tuesday 2nd May 2017)

Hi all just a reminder that the club is hosting an EGM tonight at The Pavilion, Hatherley Lane at 7:30pm. The meeting is to discuss next steps in regards to The Cold Pool Lane facility. The EGM will be both informative and decisive in terms of moving forward with the permission of your club membership. We look forward to seeing as many of you as possible. Please bring membership cards with you.

Many Thanks.

FC Lakeside under 10 Blues are pleased to announce that they have reached the under 10 cup final in the Cheltenham Youth League and they will be playing Cinderford Town under 10s who narrowly beat FC Lakeside Whites in the semi final. It is being played this Sunday, 30th April and kick off is scheduled for 11.30am at Cheltenham Town FC, Whaddon Road, Cheltenham. It would be great if we can have as many members from the club supporting the team.

Admission to spectators will be via purchasing a programme. The programmes are on sale at the gate for £2 adults and £1 children/OAPs. Refreshments will be on sale throughout the day.

Good Luck Blues.

FC Lakeside can now officially reveal probably the best news our club has had in our 42 year history. For the last 3 months, (and a bit longer), your management committee together with some highly professional parents of youth team players, decided to investigate the potential of entering into a Tender process with Tewkesbury Borough Council. The Invitation to Tender was set up for any sports clubs or organisations, to bid for the right to become preferred supplier to TBC and be able to work together to run the new sports facility in Cold Pool Lane, Hatherley.
FC Lakeside are very proud to announce, “we have been successful in our bid”. Subject to contract agreement and legal procedures we now have the opportunity to work closer with The Hatherley community in all areas of sporting activities, not just football.

FC lakeside founded in Hatherley in 1975, are proud to have won this bid and hopefully can now put down some home roots after all these years.
With a 25 lease, (still to agree), we can secure football for FC Lakeside for the next generation.
This is wonderful for our club, however more importantly our community. We are excited at the prospect of local schools, charity groups and other organisations such as local scouts, running clubs, and sports for the disabled community, ALL benefitting from a well structured local facility.
This will be a facility that FC Lakeside, TBC and The Hatherley community will be proud of.
May I congratulate the committed group of people who have worked tirelessly on this Tender process, meeting weekly and putting together an incredible bid.

Over the coming days, weeks and months, further information will be released. Firstly we will call an informative EGM very soon for the FC Lakeside membership. Transparency through membership is key to a successful club and we will respect all views from our members before contractual agreements are finalised. As your Chairman, personally, this is a very proud moment for me and I hope we can move forward for FC Lakeside to continue to develop in all areas.

Thank you all once again, you are all part of a great club, continuing on an historic journey.

Our annual Christmas draw will take place this weekend and we are very grateful for everyone that has bought raffle tickets. We have some amazing prizes on offer and we are very thankful for prize donations that have come in from local business. As a community club we are delighted for the support of local sponsors and this year the business world of Gloucestershire has truly delivered. We would like to highlight a few organisations that have stepped up to donate. Thanks and Happy Christmas from all at FC Lakeside x
