SFA Charter Standard Awards - 18/10/2007 

The Somerset FA hold their Charter Standard Award Ceremony each year to reward those Schools, Clubs & People who have improved the game around them.  At the 2006 awards, Dave Worlock was a Workforce award winner for his work as Secretary and Manager at the Club, Tom Baker was the U18 Workforce winner for his help with a Frys Junior team, and the Club was Highly Commended in the Charter Standard Club section.  On Thursday 18th October, Chairman Andy Glover, Secretary Dave Worlock and Webmaster Paul Tompkins went to Huish Park, the home of Yeovil Town, where Andy represented the Club to receive our recent Charter Standard Development Club award.

Also at the ceremony, we were surprised to hear that this year we were the Charter Standard Club Winners, with Dave Worlock receiving that award.  In the Workforce section, Paul Tompkins was rewarded for his work on our website (www.fryclubjfc.co.uk) and he too picked up an award.

For our Club, again this is justification of the hard work that the whole Management Committee have put in, not just over the last season, but in the previous ones too, making sure that all teams have a Level 1 qualified coach, that all those involved with the running of the Club have had a Criminal Record Bureau check, and that the Club is run in a fair and inclusive manner for girls and boys.  There are other awards that are on offer and this year we will be looking to improve the Club again, so that we are nominated in more categories, not because we like winning awards (although we do!) but as validation of the hard work that this Club has done, to make it the safest and best Club in the South West.
