included:
•
Keeping the club on a sound financial
footing.
•
The continued growth of players
attending our Juniors’ sessions and
holiday camps. A strong Juniors’
section is essential for our long term
viability, as it feeds players into our
training and match squads for U11 –
U18.
•
Creation of our new under 18’s team
that are competing in he south west
counties youth league and the Western
Counties Floodlight League
•
We have seen a change with some
Trustees leaving and being replaced by
new members. Overall, we have a
strong and active group of trustee’s
•
Development of a much more active
social media presence. This has had a
significant positive impact on our
ability to attract members, and fill
spaces in our holiday camps. It has
also assisted with recruiting new
coaches to fill vacancies.
Continued development of a new end of
season presentation system, using Taunton
Town FC home games as the focal point.
Feedback has been positive, but we continue
to review, and the lessons learned will be used
to make the experience even better in the
future.| |**Additional information (optional)**
