As the 2024/2025 season approaches, the club recently held its Annual General Meeting (AGM) to prepare for the exciting season ahead. During this event, key members of the committee were re-elected, enabling them to continue their outstanding work, while a few new roles and individuals were introduced to strengthen the team further.
Leadership Continuity and New Roles
The core leadership positions, including the Club Chairman, Vice-Chairman, and Treasurer, were unanimously re-elected, ensuring stability and continuity within the club. This strong leadership foundation will support the club’s ongoing growth and success.
New Appointments
- Gareth Wedgewood, Community Development Officer
As the Community Development Officer for Hartland Girls Academy, Gareth’s mission is to bridge the gap between grassroots and PGA football. He is dedicated to creating a tailored curriculum and opportunities that nurture young female talent, ensuring they have the resources and support needed to advance their football careers. Gareth collaborates with local schools, clubs, and organizations to promote inclusivity and foster a thriving community for girls’ football.
- Zac Tolley, Club Welfare Officer
Zac brings extensive experience from his work in social care and children’s charities, particularly with children of differing needs. His dedication and expertise are set to enhance the club’s welfare programs significantly.
- Paul Skidmore, Club Secretary
Paul joins us with a wealth of experience in football administration and is expected to be a tremendous asset to the club’s operations.
During the AGM, the Club Chairman emphasized the club’s commitment to decentralizing the committee and enhancing communication by including Parent Liaison Officers (PLO). This strategic decision is designed to ensure the club remains responsive to the needs of its members and the broader community.
The committee is very enthusiastic about the upcoming season and is dedicated to growing the club in both size and capabilities. With these strategic changes and additions, the club is well-positioned for continued success and community engagement in the 24/25 season and beyond.
