“Beyond the
Dressing Room”
So this week we have been enormously busy behind the
scenes. Not content with two games a week, playing the
last few Tuesdayʼs at the Paycare Ground followed by
both home and away games on Saturdayʼs we have been hosting a variety of
events. We had private functionʼs on both Friday and Saturday night in the
Pavilion, then youth football on Sunday. Followed by on Monday evening our
hugely successful and popular annual pantomime. Tuesday was another game, this
time away, a real jaunt to Ludlow to play Shawbury United.
All the above leads to a heap of tasks that need doing. kit washing, packing and
preparation, delivery of stock and removal of rubbish, more washing, stock runs to
the cash and carry, going to the bank for change, food preparation, bar staff to
cover events. Clean up crews the next following morning to turn it all around again
before grounds maintenance and every day operation resumes.
The highlight of course of all these events and happenings and probably all year
for some of us is the annual pantomime we host so that those in our community
can spend family time ahead of Christmas with their loved ones hopefully making
memories. Special thanks of course go to Willenhall Windows for sponsoring the
event again this year allowing us to keep the prices low year on year to make sure
everyone can afford to attend.
Once again, the show was held at Darlaston Sports & Social Club, because we
cannot fit enough people in at the Pavilion. Once again, we thank our friends at the
club for supporting us, because when the club was reforming and had no base
Darlaston Sports & Social Club provided a temporary home, something we are
extremely thankful for.
