Batchwood do not have a Junior section to which any players who wish to
continue can attach themselves to.
This needs to be addressed otherwise the good work will be wasted. R
Waller to contact Derek to see what can be done to ensure the children
have somewhere to go after the tuition is completed. Derek replied as
below:
Hi Ray
I approached 4 schools. 2 of them took up the offer:
Prae Wood and Margaret Wix in St Albans. Ideally I would like to set up a
junior section at Batchwood but that may have to wait until the next
course I run. There is no junior section at present. I am just getting to
grips with Batchwood and the schools.
regards
Derek
