Bournemouth Walking Football Women’s Section: THRIVING FOOTBALL COMMUNITY!
On the same day we celebrated our first year together, April 23rd 2024, Bournemouth Walking Football Women’s section had some great news as a birthday present.
A grant from Dorset Community Foundation as part of the BCP Thriving Communities initiative will subsidise extra 3G pitch booking. We intend to offer more sessions and properly cater for the wide range of ages & abilities of the many fabulous women of who have joined us in the last year, who train and play with us regularly.
A big thank you to Dorset Community Foundation! https://www.dorsetcommunityfoundation.org/
ONE YEAR OLD THIS WEEK
We’ve grown from small beginnings as an off-shoot of the Bournemouth Walking Football Men’s club founded in 2015, to over 35 women members. We now have 20+ attending our Friday evening sessions at Littledown Centre, Bournemouth.
Happy Birthday to everyone at Bournemouth WFC Women! You are all amazing and it’s been great to meet everyone. Why not join us if you’re thinking of trying football for the very first time, or hoping to take it up again.
We also need to give a huge ‘Thank You’ to our Coach and Chairman of BWFC, Alan Sparkes who encouraged us and set up the local league we play in. Alan, along with Dave and Ed, turns up week in week out to run our Friday training.
Alan also recently celebrated his 80th birthday – he already has a wealth of experience in the game – and we hope he’s enjoyed our first year as much as we all have. Cheers Alan!
