Macron at the Academy this Evening
As part of our agreement with Macron tonight is one of six evenings they will be with us for parents or players to
purchase extra items.
If anyone is awaiting orders from Macron they can speak with them this evening as well as order extra items if they
wish.
The under garments packages in particular may be keen to number of players.
Those awaiting tracksuit tops or any smaller items will be able to collect from Macron tonight also.
A member from Macron Store Wrexham will be based upstairs in Connah's Quay High School from 17:00-19:00.
Subs
Over 50% of players did not pay subs last week. I will be based on reception desk this evening
from 18:00-20:00 for anyone who is yet to pay.
Subs for the new season will be £180 per player paid in one instalment. This is a £15 increase
from the previous season which is due to covering costs of our new half a million pound 3G
which all games will be played on as well as Monday sessions.
Remembering that every other week we are also including Friday evening games which will give
all sides a total of 8 sessions and 6 games a month. Excluding pre season from September to
April this is total of 112 contacts of sessions and games available to academy players (this also is
not including all pre season to date.) This totals just over £1.50 per session and game over the
season! If include all of pre season sessions and games also it is just over £1.20.
The £180 for subs needed to be paid in full on Monday 14th September.
A reminder this fee is none refundable . So any player who leaves will not be entitled to a refund.
The fee for our under 19/21 Academy Scholars is £200. This fee must also be given Monday 14th
September.
If paying via cheque please make payable to Connah’s Quay Academy. Cash can be paid also
and if doing so we ask it is given in a sealed envelope with player name and details on please for
our own records.
We please ask that everyone pays in full on this date so that financially we are sorted and
prepared for the new campaign.
Any problems or concerns please don’t hesitate to give me a call.
Yours in Sport
