 Well as I write this
on the first Saturday afternoon of London football I haven't seen any results
but at the same time my phone hasn't been ringing with news of problems either,
so hopefully it is all going smoothly.
I set myself two
goals when I took this job and I can't say I've been fully successful in either
of them, though there is progress.
The first was to
separate responsibility for London from the BARFL task list and that has been
done in a way. We have created a new body, AFL London, which will look after the
three divisions in London. That sounds like a success as it has all happened,
but we don't so much have a committee, rather myself fielding most of the
issues, and Luke Shaw looking after the umpires. To be a fully functioning
body the committee will need a treasurer, and a few more
hands.

Sam Percy It seems I'm back. We've known for some time that 2007 League President Ray Gazal would be heading home this year, and so at the AGM last night I put my hand up to go back into the position.
I have held the position before, for three years from 2002 to 2004, which ended my first stint as Dees President. I eventually stepped down from the League role as it is extremely taxing and I didn't really feel I was going to achieve a lot more. Moreover, in Ray there was someone with energy and enthusiasm for the role, so it seemed a sensible time to step aside.
In deciding to run again I thought a fair bit about this, but as I stated last night, I am in this for a specific purpose, and I hope to be able to achieve two goals and then leave things running smoothly, hopefully within a year.
All of this was outlined and the voting went my way, although my 'opponent' is someone I've already worked with on this and will continue to do so, as we have exactly the same goals. He is also on the new BARFL committee. |
