AGM
Kildangan Nurney Ladies AGM will take place in Kildangan Clubhouse on 28th January 2012 at 5.00 pm
Founded in 2007 to give a football outlet to the many girls and ladies in Kildangan and Nurney, the club has gone from strength to strength since, however we would appeal for more people getting involved, both in the day today running of the club, and as mentors or coaches. Last year we had a vast increase of new players in the under 8 to under 12 categories, and this group in particular need more help. If you can spare an hour or two once or twice a week and have an interest in coaching or mentoring please come along and get involved. There will be several coaching courses before the season starts so previous experience is not essential.
