Reading Rebel Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 It's always good to get recognised and rewarded for our achievements as a club but apart from the recognition what rewards to we actually get? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irishadrian Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 That FA website is in need of update. For example the first item shown the Kit Scheme was withdrawn some time ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel Kay Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 The main benefit beyond the recognition is the ability to apply for funding streams not available to non Charter clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Rebel1965 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 No - leave her there - Kay and Mrs Easterbrook are doing a cracking job and showing Canape in a box how to do it! Far more friendly service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staines_rebel_Jr Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 This is fantastic and another big step forward for the club. Well done and thank you to Kay and everyone involved. As has been mentioned it comes with plenty of benefits including extra funding if/when needed. If the club expands and adds new teams; womens, kids or disabled teams it not only allows the club to get funding to help set them up but will also help attract coaches to join and be part of these teams. Chartered standard sends a big message to new coaches that this is a club which is run properly and is looking to grow and be successful from a strong base. As supporters we probably won't see many changes but this is a big deal for the progression of the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluerebel Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Firsty thanks to Kay for driving this through. I did not realise how many benefits are directly or indirecyly attached to this accreditation. With the recent announcement of the FA funding as well this is all good news for our standing in the community. Will we be able to display the certificate in the stand some where? SBC as well as us should be proud of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
