To our fans, friends, and our community/I’n cefnogwyr, ffrindiau a’n cymuned:
From our first team in Wales’ top flight, through our recreational development team, through our under-19s and our girls’ development centre who will be our future – and not forgetting the fun football we offer through our girls’ camps and our forthcoming Huddle for the littlest ball-kickers – we are proud to offer women and girls the opportunities they need.
Whether that’s elite competition and coaching, a talent pathway, or fun and friendship and a social network – or maybe all of the above – women’s football at Aberystwyth Town is thriving.
But we need your support. Aberystwyth Town Women’s FC is run by a small committee of dedicated volunteers, including media officer Carrie, whose new book ‘Woman Up – Pitches, Pay and Periods: The Progress and Potential of Women’s Football’ is out in October: she wrote it over the course of last season when all three of our senior teams enjoyed such success on the pitch, and our projects for juniors – including our mascot programme – really took off. In fact, the book is dedicated to the players of Aberystwyth Town Women’s FC.
And now the costs of operating our club are rising. We know it’s a massively tough time for everyone – but you can Woman Up in whichever way works best for you.
· Cheer on the first team at Park Avenue this season – your backing makes such a difference. Our first home match of the Genero Adran Premier campaign is on Sunday 17th September, versus Barry Town United, kick-off 2pm (adult admission £5, concessions free). You can even buy a season card for £40, guaranteeing entry to all seven Phase One home games, all three Phase Two home games, plus up to two cup matches of your choice.
· Buy a raffle ticket at our first home game for the chance to win a hamper kindly donated by our friends at Tesco Aberystwyth.
· Come to one of our ‘Woman Up’ fundraising events over the season – watch this space for further details.
· Make a financial contribution, whether that’s one-off or regular – our PayPal address is abertownladiesfc@gmail.com. Every little bit really makes a difference.
· Share our social media posts to help increase our reach.
Thank you so much for your support so far. Now it’s time to Woman Up.
