Keep it in the Family!





       In common with most non-professional football clubs, there is a
       small band of volunteers who help keep Keynsham Town’s senior
       football teams running off the pitch.

       The  preparation  which  goes  into  First  Team  games  especially  is
       often hidden to the naked eye, and the Ks are lucky to have one
       family  of  3  who  devote  a  lot  of  time  into  running  our  great
       community  club! Jules and Terrie French (our  husband and  wife
       combo) and Terrie’s mum Anne fulfil several key roles for the club
       from their Keynsham home!

       Jules has been involved with the Ks for 13 years now, of which the
       last 12 he has been our Club Secretary. The role of secretary in any
       sports organisation is critical to the running of the club. Apart from
       the day-to-day administrative duties, such as registering players,
       sending invitations to visiting clubs/match officials and dealing with
       FA/League communications for both our senior teams, Jules is also
       an  important  member  of  our  “match  day  crew”  for  our  home
       games.  He  can  usually  be  found  manning  the  gate  until  a  few
       minutes  after  the  game  has  started,  when  he  goes  round  the
       ground selling raffle tickets!

       Terrie juggles her full-time office job with several key roles at the
       club. She has been involved with the club for over 10 years and
       took  over  the  Treasurer’s  role  5  years  ago.  A  bigger  and  more
       impressive task though has been helping to turn our tea hut from
       an out-of-use dumping room to the excellent match day hub you
       see today! Terrie also buys and prepares post-match food for the
       players and visiting officials.


       Back at HQ, Anne also fulfils a crucial task at any club, in that she
       washes and prepares the kit for First Team games.


       This is just a snapshot of some of the key roles at any club, but it’s
       nice to keep it “in the family”!!!
