Ian Needham (Charter Standard Liaison Officer & u15 Coach) says “We lost the club house not long after I joined and I remember training on cold Saturday mornings with no facilities and using an old container for equipment storage. However through the hard work of the club we have re-built the club house and started to develop new teams from Under 7’s to Under 11’s.”

Weston Lane set out in 2005 with a goal to become Charter Standard within 2 years and at that time had only 3 teams and no qualified coaches. The club now boasts seven Level 1 coaches and Ian himself is a level 2 coach.

Ian says “The Charter Standard award gave us a focus to put our constitution, committee, CRB checks and coaching development on an upward curve and together with the new club house this gives us the foundations to attain even greater heights”.

The club continues to go from strength to strength and remains true to it’s ideals of providing sporting and personal development for children of all abilities from 6 to 17.  

Special mention must go to all the committee, parents, friends and local residents who have helped the club emerge from a dark period in it’s history. In particular the chairman Richard Bolton has put in hundreds of hours working to finish the new club house which thankfully is almost complete.
