Good Afternoon,

We have been asked about the drinking water facility in the changing rooms which I have looked into and now have the advise you of the following.

Unfortunately, the taps will not be reinstated so it will not possible to fill up the water bottles, would you please advise your away teams of this so they arrive at the pitch with their bottles filled.

Apologies for the inconvenience this may cause.

10/11/11 - Need help with the field you play on? I typed in a local postcode and came up with some fields some SDFL clubs use so the article below may be of help:-

Subject: The Queen Elizabeth II Fields Challenge
 
Dear All,
 
Two weeks ago, as part of the next phase of The Queen Elizabeth II Fields Challenge to mark HM The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee and the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, we launched  the start of your chance to protect outdoor spaces near you:  we launched the Save a Space for Me campaign with events in London and Cardiff and screened a special video message from our Patron Prince William, The Duke of Cambridge  
 
For the next 2 weeks you can help to protect 2012 parks, playing fields and playgrounds.
As well as being safeguarded for future generations Queen Elizabeth II Fields in England and Wales can apply for a grant from the £1 million SITA Trust fund to make these spaces even better.
 
Voting is now open so please tell your friends and family all about it and get voting! If your local council hasn’t yet signed up PLEASE send them a Call to Action Card which you will see instead of  a nice list of nominated fields.
How?
Visit www.qe2fields.com , search by your postcode or look under the local authority list (for fields owned by local authorities only). When you find one you know and love, or even one you just like the look of, you can click to show your support! If there isn’t one in your area PLEASE complete the form on the page, the Call to Action.
Please also could you forward to all your own  networks?
If you'd like to get more involved in your local outdoor space then why not also sign up to be a volunteer?
We're looking forward to seeing all your votes!
Please support this wonderful project – everyone wants it to succeed especially the people (and their children and children’s children) whose playing fields will be protected through it.
Please also could you forward to all your contacts?
Do remember if you have a field that could be part of the scheme please contact me, there is still time to nominate sites to become Queen Elizabeth II Fields.
 
Best wishes

02/10/2011 - TABLES ADJUSTMENTS:-

These have been updated in accordance with information with information received and the key to points adjustments is in the DP column. Although DP stands for deducted points, I will also be including points awarded to clubs. Only fixtures that have not been fulfilled will show adjustments to both clubs' playing records, as well as the points adjustments incurred. The outcome of such instances will also be reflected in the divisional results grid - e.g. Division Six as shown since Teign Village Reserves failed to fulfill their fixture v Riviera United, therefore AW = Away Win. Those teams deducted points will show an asterisk * next to their name.

14/07/2011 - NOTICE FROM THE LEAGUE SECRETARY:-

Please be advised that Roselands FC will be playing on a 3G surface this
season at Paignton Community College and the SDFL have granted the use of 3G
pitches subject to both teams agreeing to play any SDFL League or SDFL Cup
games on a 3G surface.

Clubs have 14 days from today's date to object to playing on a 3G pitch,
this will affect all Division 6 teams but please be aware you could be drawn
away to Roselands FC in the Herald Cup so all clubs in the SDFL are being
given the opportunity to object now.

If no objection is received by me within 14 days of the date of this email
then you will have been deemed to accept playing on a 3G surface.

Those that do object in writing then Roselands FC will be made aware so they
can find an alternative venue for that home game.
