Please see below an excerpt from Surrey FA Bulletin dated 3rd June (in blue). Affiliations to Surrey FA should have been sent by 1st June. Note also the new deposit method of payment.

It may be prudent to advise your clubs that if they have not sent their forms in yet then we have will waive the late fine of £25 provided it is received by next Monday 6^th June.

If contacting your clubs it would also be useful for us if you can remind them to only send the deposit of £25 and the balance will be invoiced in September. Some clubs are paying in full and whilst it may seem acceptable it is likely to cause some confusion if they add or remove teams between now and September.

Your affiliation number should be notified to Mike Dillon by 20th June.

Following the recent FA Charter Standard presentation conducted by the Surrey County FA on Monday 2^nd August 2010, please contact Keith Prince a.s.a.p. if your club would like to take part in scheme. The proposed plan of action would be to hold a 3 hour first aid course for all clubs in the Morden and District League. This course would be held at Sutton Utd F.C and would be followed a week later by a workshop for clubs to complete the Charter Standard Application form and submit the relevant support documentation.  This means within two weeks your club will be able to promote themselves as FA Charter Standard and utilise the benefits that this accreditation offers.

The FA Charter Standard Scheme is a fantastic initiative that has proved to be very successful.
