Training

Training is on from 4-6 on Friday

Spain 2016

Just a wee update,Date of tournement not confirmed until next week but I'm hoping it is the last weekend in May,if this is the case this is my thinking

Fri 27th May 7.25 Glasgow -Reus followed by 1 and half to 2 hour bus journey to Santa Susanna-arrive at Hotel 2.30pm
Sat 28th May.  Tournement
Sun 29th May.  Tournement
Mon 30th May Trip to Barcelona and the Nou Camp
Tues 31st May. 12.15 Barcelona El Prat-Glasgow

Trip would cost £450 per person,boy and one parent paid by club,Friday and Monday are school holidays so it would require an additional day of school and 3 days off work for the Parents.Hopefully in the next 2 weeks we will be able to confirm if this trip will be achievable .Can I have some feedback please over the next week with any positive or negative thoughts,cheers James

Rozelle tournement

All the fixtures are on this website.    www.scotlandcup.com
Go down the left hand side till you see PDF7a side fixtures
Bonnyton 1 -Adam Wilsons team
Bonnyton 2 -Cameron Shanks team

Cameron and Louisa

Cameron Strawhorn has decided to move on and concentrate on other things,he was a terrific player for us in defence and will be sorely missed.

Louisa has also decided to call it a day.Louisa has been here since day one of Bonnyton 2004s and without her the club would not be in the position we are in now.It was Louisa who encouraged us all to build up the club funds in order for us to take the boys to a summer Tournement and hopefully all her hard work will give us the opportunity to do that.

We wish them all the best in the future.

Rozelle tournement

As you know we are at the Rozelle Tournement on May 23/24
It is now confirmed that we be playing on Saturday afternoon ,meet up time 1.30 finish 5.30 and Sunday Morning meet up time is 8.45(yes I know that's early!) finish at 12.30-1.00
I will put fixtures up later in the week,we will play 3 fixtures on Saturday and 3 on Sunday
I think it would be a great idea if we could get a few Gazebos to give us a bit of shelter from the Sun and also for a meeting place,would anyone be able to help?
I can also confirm that the Galston Tournement is on the Sunday afternoon of June 7th,meet up time 1.15pm
More information about strips etc will follow

Spain update

Hi Folks,just a wee update about the Barcelona Tournement.Jet 2 flights are out but the flights to Barcelona are going out on a Thursday and returning on a Tuesday which is going to be too long and too expensive,there are flights to Reus going on a Friday and returning on a Monday which would be great but Reus to Santa Susanna is 110 miles away! The only other option I think at the moment is Ryanair but their flights are not out yet so we will sit tight and see what happens.

Callum Semple

Callum has left the club today to concentrate on his Tennis.We are very sad to see him go as he was a smashing boy and a great talent as well,he  was nicknamed Boris(Becker)by Stevie after he found out he was into his tennis and took the banter dished out with a smile on his face.We wish him all the best in the future.
Can I also say a big Thank you to his Mum Elaine,she has been a great help throughout the years and your hard work will also be missed.

Code of Conduct

We really appreciate the parents coming to the games to cheer on the boys,however we would ask that they do not get involved with the parents/coaches of the opposing team.We want to be known as a great team with a great group of parents who support and encourage both sides.

Barcelona tournement 2016

As discussed at our meeting on Friday it is our intention to take the boys to the Barcelona Tournament in May 2016.
The trip may involve the boys/parents being off school/work for a couple of days,as yet the dates are not confirmed but it normally falls in with our May weekend where the schools are off on the Monday.
In a perfect world we would fly out early on the Thursday and return late afternoon on the Monday .The cost of the accommodation would be at this years prices 274 euros(£210 at today's rate) plus flights which I would hope to pay no more than an average of £140 per person,this would give us a total of £350 per person.It would be my intention to pay for a parent and child out of the club funds.
At the moment we are sitting with a pretty decent amount in the bank account but I reckon we will need to raise the guts of £9000.I know that this seems like a lot of money but if we all pull our weight I'm sure we can achieve our target.
Ideas already muted are to
1- Increase the subs by £10 a month from March,revenue from this would give us £3150 straight away
2- Race Night,last years race night raised over £1400, with a little extra effort I'm sure we could make that to £2000
3- Sportsmans Dinner-I would hope to raise £1500-£2000 at this event
4 -Bag packing- if we could organise one of these in April /May time and it went well,I'm sure that we could organise another one in the next year,Targets £1000 for each one maybe?

I'm sure there are many other ideas out there and if we all give 100% we can make this happen.

If I could have your feedback over the next few days positive or negative it would be appreciated.If you have any questions please feel free to ask.
If we have a favourable response I will be looking for some volunteers who can assist me to make it happen,thanks,James

Training /Saturday's game

Hidden team

As you may know we are trying to raise funds to buy the kids a new away strip to replace the
white one,we are selling a hidden team with a cost of £20 a team and the winner will have their
company name on the new strips.If you know of any business that would like to buy a hidden
team can you please contact me,thanks

Scotland Cup

We will be entering 2 teams into the Scotland Cup or the Rozelle Touurnement as it is otherwise known.The competition will take place on the Weekend of 22nd-25th May.
As you now we had plans to take the boys to Southport for a tournement in May but we have decided to look further afield.
I have been looking at a competition in Santa Susanna ,Spain in May 2016 which would require a lot of fundraising between now and next May and would like to get everyone's thoughts on the idea.
Can I have a parent of each child attend training tomorrow at 4.45 to discuss this.If we are in agreement and we decide to go ahead with this I would like to form a small committee to help raise funds and assist with booking flights etc.If you cannot make it tomorrow can you please let me know,thanks
