How long have you been a member of the club?

I am proud to say that I am a Founder Member of this Great Club

How long have you volunteered at the club?

I have been a Volunteer since the very beginning except for a few years hiatus. I was the Treasurer for the majority of that time and more recently as Team Manager for the Seniors.

Tell us one thing your club peers might not know about you?

Never miss an episode of Eastenders & Coronation Street.

The theme of this years volunteer week is ‘something for everyone’ what have you enjoyed the most about volunteering your time at the club?

I have enjoyed watching this Club grow with not only my contribution but that of the many others who have been on our long journey and have got us to where we are today from our very humble beginnings, also there is a sense of belonging and affiliation associated with Volunteer work

What would be one thing you would recommend about the club for someone who is thinking of volunteering

This is a great Family orientated Club which focuses on Charity contributions and helping members within the Club in times of need, a great satisfaction can be obtained by putting one’s hand up to Volunteer,

no matter what the role.

How long have you been a member of the club?
Since the Seniors club inception in 1989

How long have you volunteered at the club?
As the club is a charity “first” club, everyone has a role to play in this. So, from day one back in 1989 we all had jobs to do outside of the football pitch. I suppose what I’m saying is for a fair while now.

Tell us one thing your club peers might not know about you?

I was a single figure handicap at golf when I was a teenager.

The theme of this year’s volunteer week is ‘something for everyone’ what have you enjoyed the most about volunteering your time at the club?

My youngest daughter is now playing at my beloved club and setting an example to the next generation of what you can do for the club is extremely important. Thongs don’t just happen by themselves, sometimes you, yourself have to stand up!

 What would be one thing you would recommend about the club for someone who is thinking of volunteering

I have friends from the club that all have volunteered throughout the last 35 years and these will be friends for life. When you volunteer, you’ll find common interests with others and if you’re as lucky as me you’ll find these lifelong friends too.

Round 2. Australia Cup.
BUFC 3. v  Hampton Park. 2.

The Park scored first, then the BU equalized prior to half time.
Halfway through  the second half  the BU scored from a penalty, only for the Park to equalize 10 minutes later, with a very well taken, free kick.
In injury time with only 5 minutes till the end of the game, the BU scored the winning goal.
Big shout-out to Hopper Crossing F.C., for allowing the BUFC to use their facilities today.

Saturday. 24 Jun 23.

The weather Gods, decided to smile on the Bhoys and Ghirls of Barnstoneworth, down at JT Gray Reserve today.
In one of the photos, an (unusually) spritely Govan D, moving faster that he has for a long time, was asked where he is going and why, replied.
“…I am going over to the shed, to get a pick and shovel to dig up the pot of gold, that is waiting for me at the end of this rainbow…”.
When further asked, how did he know that there was indeed a ‘pot of gold’ at the end of the rainbow, replied, “… a friend of mine, Darby O’ Gill told me, he is one of the, ‘little people’, you know…”.
Good luck on you prospecting Darren.
