Renmore AFC is a local sports club relying on the
investment of time and effort (and a little more,
occasionally) of a number of dedicated individuals who work
hard to make sure the community of Renmore (and other areas)
are able to get the best out of their football.
Renmore AFC tries to provide an environment where all
members are able to train; develop their abilities; enhance
their fitness levels; and play friendly and competitive games
- all in a safe and organised manner. We strive to help
every member make the most out of their time with the club and
develop their football skills to the maximum of their ability.
We also work on helping members develop other aspects of their
abilities - confidence, ability to organise, leadership,
planning.
Clearly, there is an enormous social aspect to the
club and we work to help members feel welcome and enjoy and
make the most of the social side of club
Renmore AFC requires a huge effort to organise games,
training and resources. While the
individuals involved are well-versed in the art of
organising a football club and all that this entails, some
extra help is always welcome and we would appreciate any
time you might have to give.
Examples of the help we need are:
- Lifts - we always need parents to help us get the kids
to games when we play away from Renmore. Frequently,
coaches have to bring 4 or 5 kids each which is not
fair on coaches and unsafe for the kids in the event
of overloading. The club now tries not to
do this although we are occasionally stuck with 2 or 3
cars going to a game and needing to ferry 15 or 16
kids!
- Fundraising - either helping us in the planning and
execution of events or coming up with our own methods of
raising funds for the club. All monies are welcome.
- Coaching - at the beginning of the season every
year, we always have more teams than coaches and a few
coaches take on more than one team. It always comes
down to the same names every year doing the lions share
of the work. This is unfair to the kids as the coach is
flat out preparing 2 or more teams, reducing the time any
one team receives, and it is unfair to the coach
as they all have work and families too.
Your time to help out with the kids would be much
appreciated.
- Experience / Training - it may be a case that you
have abilities or experience which would help us in other
ways e.g. First Aid training, fitness training,
physiotherapy, nursing etc
This is a short list of examples but should give you an
idea of what we need from you. |

As can be expected, there are a number of
benefits to helping out with the club.
The primary beneficiary of your involvement is your
community. Your involvement will enhance the club and
the club exists to help its members. The members are
your neighbours and friends, their kids and
friends etc. Your time and effort will be appreciated by
all in your locality.
Benefits which our organisers experience include:
- Great fun
- Excercise (nothing like 2 hours running on a cold
winters morning to get the blood flowing!)
- Great social scene and a huge number of contacts
- If your kids are involved, you get to increase the
time you spend with them - they appreciate you taking the
time to help with their interests.
- Travel (nothing exotic, though!)
- Lots of fresh air.
