Sport for All!

Julie and I had a most wonderful morning on Saturday, attending the official opening of the new pavilion and changing rooms at the Gawcott Playing Fields of Moretonville Junior Football Club.

You can see the whole emerging story and lots of pics on their website and facebook pages. Phil Doran, the club Chairman spoke with such glowing and grateful words about everyone who has invested time, sweat and money over the years to get the Pavilion built and open. I dare not list them all here as I would be sure of missing someone out, and that I would not want to do!

But please know that if you have contributed to the creation of the Pavilion in any way, big or small, or indeed are part of the army of people who sustain the club week in week out: thank you!! You are doing immeasurable and wonderful things for the young people of Buckingham and surrounding villages. As Phil pointed out: the young people are not just learning football skills and having fun while they do it, they are learning life skills as well which will help them lead ambitious and fulfilling lives.

Pete Winkleman, Chairman of MK Dons provided some wonderful footballing celebrity glitter to the proceedings and performed the official opening. He praised all involved and emphasised that everyone should feel very proud.

Here are some pics
