Committee Statement: SFD Update

The committee are in preparations for SFD 8. SFD 8 did not take place in October 2011 because of the difficulties encountered in collecting the funds raised from some players on one of the teams and this was only resolved in late December 2011. The committee did not want to start the next event before its predecessor had been completed. Much of the preparatory work for the event had taken place before the decision was taken to postpone it.

While the team managers do everything they can to ensure all funds are collected on time it is also the responsibility of the players to ensure the funds they have raised are paid in as soon as possible and definitely by the event deadline. They should also have the courtesy to ensure the appropriate manager know of any issues in producing the funds.

Delays in collecting the funds affect the reputation of the event in supporting the charities but also affect the charity due to the delay in getting the funding to them.

We move on to the next event stressing to all participants the need to do their best for the charity by getting as much sponsorship as possible and collecting it in as quickly as possible after the event has taken place.

Thanks to everyone who has supported the SFD and wish to continue to do so. We look forward to the next event and hope you will want to participate. Watch this space for more news.
