This week was a difficult one for me personally, due to my Gran’s 90th birthday celebrations in Plympton. Trying to organise everything without being present was certainly a challenge. Thankfully, I was able to attend the first 20 minutes of the first session so as to take payments from parents there in order to save Steve from a job.
Chris was available in the second hour to take payments from the older group, since Gavin would almost certainly have found an excuse had I asked him to sort it. Chris was also able to help with matches in the second hour, and Gavin had brought his son Leon (who plays for Marjons U18’s) to help him in the first part with the ball manipulation and skills.
Even though 27 children across two hours was less than some weeks previously, there were still enough in attendance to mean that the club was making money from the programme which was a major plus, since we were losing money with the previous coaching company who ran what was a similar session to us.
