Recent Loco training activity

Since the start of the season, loco training has been pretty arduous.  We’ve had King George, Sandbanks, Hengistbury Head, Whitecliff Rec, the notorious Zigzag… and tomorrow (21st July), it’s the beach.

Training this Thursday will be “Around the Chines” meeting at 18.55 at the Durley Inn Harvester Car Park (actual address supplied for you TomTom freaks)

The Durley Inn
The Promenade
Durley Chine
Bournemouth
BH2 5JF

Training will entail being flogged by Trev for over an hour followed by a game of footie on the beach and dunk in the sea, so bring parking money, a running shoe, beach football shoe, a towel and Durley Inn beer money!

Unfortunately Trev is going on Holiday for 6 months again and this will be his last session until Christmas.  Even more unfortunately, John, Trevs Son-in-law “to be” (and also a Royal Marine) will be coming along instead…. and he isn’t anywhere near as gentle as Trev.

Paul Cashmore has bought Trev a little present for all his hard work (check your email for more), and this will be presented to him after the session on Thursday, so be prepared for a long lasting send off from Trev.

Anyone not signed will need to do so this week.  Similarly, anyone with the intention of signing should please show your appreciation by contributing to Trevs present (discretionary).  For those of you that have only attended a couple of sessions don’t feel obliged to give us much, but it all helps the club and I will want to buy John a present as well depending on his contribution!

Stay tuned.

Pre-Season friendlies announced

Paul Cashmore has announced the pre-season friendlies that we will be having this season.  They are:

Saturday 9th August at 4pm vs Ferndown Town
Local derby against top flight Saturday team  - they have many new quality players my contacts tell me.

Sunday 17th Hordle Spurs (Away) at 10.30am
Sunday Prem team so obviously a very good work out.

Sunday 24th vs Parley Sports (Away) TBC
Another good work out for Loco

Sunday 31st vs New Milton Town at 10.30am
A Sunday Div 2 team, and it should be a good test as its on the Wessex League massive pitch.

Unfortunately we had to juggle these friendlies a bit as three teams cancelled on us through lack of players, however we might add a midweek game if we need to.  Please let Paul know if you can’t make any of these dates ASAP.
