Hello All – Bonjour a tous.

After a desperately sad start to the New Year with the passing of our team mate and joint creator of our association, Jon Ward, there are some happier events in the pipeline for us all to contemplate.

Après un début de nouvelle année désespérément triste avec Le décès de Notre coéquipier et co-créateur de Notre association, Jon Ward, il y a Des événements plus heureux dans Le pipeline que nous pouvons tous contempler.

We are likely to be invited again to the exhibition hall in Rennes during the month of March. The Ligue de Bretagne are expected to ask the other local walking football teams to attend, so the format could be much different from previous years.

Nous allons probablement être invités à nouveau au parc Des expositions de Rennes au mois de mars. La Ligue de Bretagne sont attendues Demander aux autres équipes locales de football de se déplacer, Le format pourrait donc être très différent de celui des années précédentes

The A.G.M. For BWFA/ABFM is being planned for the end of March, to allow Jill & Phil to participate upon their return. Once a date is proposed, a notice along with this year’s membership form will be sent to all present members.

Le A.G.M. Pour BWFA / ABFM EST prévu pour la fin du mois de mars, pour permettre à Jill & Phil de participer à leur retour. Une fois une date est proposé, un Avis avec Le formulaire d’adhésion de cette année sera envoyé à tous les membres présents.

On a serious note, we are experiencing issues regarding over competitive play and a number of subsequent injuries. Our practice matches have been getting progressively faster and challenges have become more frequent. The amount of sweat stains on several players’ shirts after each session is an indication of a lot of effort, physical or otherwise going in to the matches. You should all, at least, be aware of the rules. BWFA / ABFM MATCH RULES in menu above. (http://abfm.football/laws/) I draw your attention particularly to Rule 4 & Rule 5. Beside these regulations, it is important for our experienced players to help along our newcomers and those not so familiar with the game.
The aim of the sport is to promote safe exercise without causing injury. It is clear that we are lacking a referees’ supervision during practice and that we would all benefit from safe coaching and fitness work. Some of us try our best to arbitrate with a whistle, a lot of others do not. Therefore, until the group can change this situation (and the committee is very aware of this), we all need to carefully consider our actions and to self regulate ourselves. We need to take care of ourselves and equally, take into consideration the well-being of our team mates… AT ALL TIMES.
Of course, this is a totally democratic organisation and if any individual has any suggestion or comment to make, then the rest of the group should give the courtesy needed and to take notice.Follow us here
