June 2015

Welcome to the latest Club update.


On the field Pre-season training commences at Epsom College from 7pm on Tuesday 7th July. Please note that the venue has requested that no blades are to be worn.

Our pre-season friendlies are confirmed and are available on the website, kicking off with a friendly against Banstead Athletic at Surbiton Town on Thursday July 9th. Please note that times and in a couple of cases, venues may change.

We also know that, subject to confirmation at the League AGM which is highly likely, that Chertsey Town and Hanworth Villa will have received reprieves from relegation. Frimley Green are to be relegated, while Molesey are promoted to the Ryman League. In their place we will be receiving Redhill for our first League meetings since 1976/77, and AFC Hayes, who as Brook House we met on six occasions during 2004/05 and 2005/06.

We also receive the promoted Chessington & Hook United, to bring us up to 22 clubs next season, although the other promoted club AFC Croydon Athletic have been transferred into the Southern Counties East League.

The League Annual General Meeting is on Sunday 28th June and in addition to the League constitution being confirmed, the League Cup will also be drawn. We'll let you know it on Twitter almost immediately after it is known.


Off the field We can advise that our Annual General Meting is to be held on Sunday 26th July at 8pm at the Epsom Common Working Mens Club. All can attend but only members can vote and time is running out for you to become a 2014/15 member as memberships taken on the night will be for the following season. Please either drop me a line or contact a Committee Member for details. For those who are members, you will be receiving confirmation of the meeting in the usual manner in the next few weeks.

Finally, our former Chairman Peter Smith has died at the age of 91. Peter was our Chairman for two seasons between 1981 and 1983. Although he was a tireless fund-raiser in the seventies and a member of the Holding Company that purchased the ground on the club's behalf, maybe his greatest legacy was as the man who appointed Adrian Hill as Manager in place of Pat O'Connell. A full obituary is on the main page of the website.

That's about all for now, but please keep looking back in from time to time to find out what is happening at YOUR club!

Come on you Salts!
