A friendly kickabout, open to all levels. Different players each week. Newcomers welcome.

During the pandemic we will be following this clear one-page FA guidance: https://tinyurl.com/FAcovid5aside

We book the pitch when we hit the minimum of 8 "yes" RSVPs, which we need to do by the day before.

The cost is £4 to £6 each, depending how many sign up (£50 for the pitch, divided by the number of players)

The money will be collected at the end of the game, whether by cash or Paypal as you prefer.

DON'T BE LATE! We need to be there, changed and ready for kick-off at 9:00 PM. If the game is ever cancelled we will let those who have already RSVPd "yes" know.

TO FIND THE PITCH: Come in through the main entrance of Braywick Sports Ground, off Braywick Road. Take left in front of the Toby Carvery Stafferton Lodge, the cages are the first pitches you see and next to them you find the bigger pitches.
We play on the cage if we are less than 12. Instead we use one of the bigger pitch if we are more.

PLEASE BRING:

• Suitable boots for the outdoor 3G pitches. Artificial grass (AG) football boots are strongly recommended as the best option for the surface. Full studs/blades designed for soft ground (SG) would be dangerous for you especially, as well as for others and the pitch. You could get away with wearing firm-ground (FG) or astroturf boots for a while, but it won't help your game or your boots!

• Some cash - up to £6, as explained above.

RSVP TERMS AND CONDITIONS

• Please ALWAYS be considerate to the organisers and other members!

• When you RSVP "Yes", we book a spot on the pitch for you. The organiser is charged for the pitch unless they cancel it at least 48 hours before the game.

• If you change your RSVP to "No" less than 48 hours before play or you are a "No Show" and nobody is able to take your spot, you will be asked to pay the price as if you took part.

BRINGING GUESTS:

Please note than you are more than welcome to bring 1 or 2 friends to play (but only if you add "+1" or "+2" to your RSVP, so that we don't end up with too many players). Any guest wanting to take part in any subsequent game will be requested to register with the group

Blues Jam Night - The Wooburn Club.

Wooburn Club

Moved from the 1st June due to school hols, organisers away.
Yes it's back at a new venue, the event will be on the 1st Thursday monthly for the foreseeable future. (was at Claytons then Holmer Green.)

The Wooburn Club HP10 0EF is in Wooburn Green, 16 The Green, on the far side of the green opposite the Red Lion, on the B4440.
There are a few parking spaces in front of the building, so probably street parking required.
It has a fully licenced lounge bar, a large room to the left of the bar for the music.
The house band music usually starts at 8:20pm, continues with various performers till 11:00pm. The club should be open from 8pm, I would recommend getting there at 8:15pm to get a good seat.
This is usually free, but sometimes they have a voluntary collection to cover guests artist travel expenses, etc.
As a restart at a new venue after a few months off, it should be a good night for musicians and singers.
