ROYAL OAK VIDEOS
Roddy Paine (Royal Oak, Division Four) has put a couple of
videos on Youtube of his sides exploits last season. Some other teams
are featured. Real football.
The season past has highlighted the fact that many of the
pitches used on Sunday mornings are simply not good enough. Take a look
here to see what £350,000 will bring you.

PLAYER DEBTS - RECOVERY
To see a typical letter, sent to a former member of a club in this
League, please click here.
It's time to remind everyone that, if players owe clubs money, club
officials should now be chasing them up and perhaps taking formal steps
to recover that money before the start of next season. If a player
owes money and does not pay it back, he can be suspended sine-die by
the County FA but only if you do things the right way. Kent clubs
please see page 105 of the KCFA handbook. Sussex clubs will have
the
same thing in their handbook somewhere.
The WKSFL has no jurisdiction in this matter and will not act as debt
collector. DO NOT WAIT until the start of next season as it will then
be too late. The same procedure can be used to deal with club officials
who owe money.
GENERAL NOTICES
NEW TO THE AREA AND LOOKING FOR A SUNDAY CLUB TO PLAY FOR
NEXT SEASON?
Let me have a few details about yourself and I will place an advert for
you on the pre-season page. Email me here.
nb We have clubs based in
Tonbridge, Tunbridge Wells, Crowborough, Paddock Wood and the
surrounding area. There are however no clubs presently based in
Sevenoaks or Westerham.
END OF SEASON TRIP TO PORTUGAL?
If your club is considering an end of season trip, I have a reliable
and efficient contact who can arrange some football for you in the
Algarve region of Portugal. The company works full-time arranging
winter training for teams of the calibre of Ajax and Stuttgart as well
as tours for lesser groups. They will arrange everything, if required,
except flights.
If you are interested, please email me and I will pass you the contact
details

CLUBS

claim tax
rebates on certain types of fund raising. This could bring clubs
additional income of 28p in the pound. Details and the necessary forms
can be found at http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/casc/index.htm
where you can download and print the
necessary forms CASC3 and CASC4 – the other forms are not required. You
will need to produce a club constitution to an agreed format and

this scheme. Your County Football Association may have some information.
