The President’s Bit the club, I did sponsor a young lad called Mark Atkins who lives in It’s Saturday morning, November 21st, it’s raining, windy & cold. Mark Wymondham. Mark was an England Schoolboy Champion & reached Brown & Joffy Garwood are gettting the pitch ready, putting the the final of the ABAs in London & was the Eastern Area Champion for advertising boards out for our Reserve game against Feltwell. Both many years, now Mark is a boxing coach at Attleborough Boxing Club teams are warming up but another set-back is that the referee had & he is the best in local boxing because when you have done it not turned up, and we did not have a linesman. My mate Ryan Brown yourself, others will respect you. Any lads that want to take up boxing, who was in our team to play, but when asked to run the line he kindly Mark Atkins is the man to see. Over the years Mark has been a great agreed and put his top on. help to Wymondham Town Football Club. The game started late & finished in the dark but helping to take the boards in & clean up & sort the kit out was our treasurer Emma Chambers. I have been involved in local football for over 60 years now & Emma has to be the hardest working lady who I have met & she is one of the best players in our Ladies team. Not forgetting Mark Brown, who, with his lad Ryan, over the years have been a great help to our club. Mark’s best game had to be when his team beat Spixworth in a great game to keep our first team in the Premier League. Next morning it is still wet, cold & windy. I drive to Barnham Broom, park at the golf club to watch the Norwich Half-Marathon, about 3,000 runners took part in the bad weather, they all deserve credit for taking part. I did get a surprise as a lad I had seen play in our reserve team that I thought was rather slow, but was quick enough to get to the bar at the club house to enjoy a few pints. In the race he went passed me so fast I thought he was a greyhound, he L-R: Mark Atkin, Les King, Nigel Benn & Sean King at a charity football was in the front bunch and even in front of my mate, former boxing match at Wroxham champion Jon Thaxton. The night before I had watched a film ‘Run Like Mick Money, who took Attleborough to become League Fat Boy, Run’, now we could see the follow up, ‘Run Wrighty, Run’. Champions & Cup Winners, Attleborough have become Norfolk Yes Craig Wright is our club’s legend marathon runner, he is so quick Boxing Champions. I think he doesn’t know which way he is going, look out boy for a left hook. One man many will thank is Ted Reynolds. I did play with Ted at I was pleased to see the photo in the local press of over 50 members Wreningham, we were both up front, what a pair. We were so slow a of Attleborough Boxing Club. John Dennis & his hard-working team, hedgehog would overtake us. For many years Ted has worked so with the support of sponsor Donna Kissinger, have now, in my hard for local football and many will thank him at Wymondham Town opinion, become the boxing club in this area. Over 60 years ago I did Football Club for his hard work. box for his club, years later I became Chairman of Norwich Lads Best wishes Club, sponsored many boxers & many became champions & my Les King mate Herbie Hide became World Champion. I am now Life Patron of 4. 5. A few words from the Chairman: members despite this being written in stone that they join prior to August 31st. We organise a Christmas Party on the 19th that again the Good Afternoon and welcome to the Kings Head Meadow for this response has been that luke warm to it will probably be me and Joffy afternoon’s fixture against Poringland. We welcome the Poringland having a private disco and a game of darts and pool. officials, players and supporters and hope they will have an enjoyable Everyone wants this that and the other but no one ever wants to help afternoon here with us in Wymondham. or support. Our major supporters every week are Crib, Darts, Probus, Since our last home first team match unfortunately Mark Brown has The Royal Naval Association, The Wymondham Auction Company, had to resign from our very small board of Directors due to personal our fortnightly Sunday Quiz and the Farm Machinery Club. All these family issues. Mark leaves with all our blessings and thanks. Brownie people from these various organisation are paid up members and put had run the football side of the club since April 1st 2014 when the job their hard earned cash over the bar to support the football. I am sure of saving this 138 year old club began. There are only 4 of us on the they will be absolutely appalled that so few male and under 19 Board/Committee and we all give up over 30 hours each per week footballers are members. Thursday night crib alone generates unpaid to try and make this club the best we can. Every week is a between £5,200 - £7,800 gross income per year and they are all financial struggle as we try to right the wrongs of the previous 20 members. years. On Saturday night we had piss tanks in the club who hate this club It’s just 20 months ago when we inherited £83 there was £5,000 of and want nothing but bad for it. All they have is mouth, they all know immediate debt and approximately £40,000 of historic debt. We had what should be done and where we go wrong, but none of them have to close the club house for health and safety issues as well as the fact a clue or the bollocks to sort it out or stand up and be counted. It’s all it was absolutely run down and filthy. We all work our backsides off to talk and drunken talk at that. They want to talk about issues of a year save this club and are continuing the negotiations to secure the new or more ago which they have one side off and have not got a clue 25 years lease (October 1st 2015) on terms that are fair to this football what actually went on or was going on. But what the hell we don’t club for the next 25 years. We do all that and what do we get absolute know the facts but we will just shout and ball anyway. On Saturday vitriolic abuse from 3 or 4 lunk heads on a Saturday Night in our own night we had decent people’s evenings ruined, hard working staff club. abused and board/committee threatened by these lunk heads.
