... Now everything is finalised (and to avoid Vale FC getting further hassle lol) its with regret that the time has come to announce the end of Hat and Beaver FC, I would like to take this opportunity to thank every that has been involved in the running of the club for the last 10 years. I have made some fantastic friends, and of course met my husband.Believe me,it wasn't a decision that I took lightly to fold the team, in fact I did at one point think about folding the team in february,but decided that wasn't fair to our Loyal players nor the teams that we had already played. The main contribution for this reason is lack of commitment from players,we had 38 players registered,yet struggled every week to get 15 players! Another major factor was finances, to not afford £5 a week,yet smoke and go out most weekends annoyed me greatly! I'm sure other secretaries will agree with me when I say its not as easy as it appears being a secretary! I wish everyone all the best in what ever they do, I for one am going to enjoy lazy sundays spent with my family and have a stress free time, not worrying how many players are going to turn up on a sunday (although Daz will no doubt still be playing)
