Each age group will have a WhatsApp group with all carers who wish to be added. This is
monitored by our committee and is our primary method of communication. Each week we
can share photos of training/ matches as well as coaches and committee members will share
important information. There is also a main parent/ carer WhatsApp group chat with
everyone from all age groups who wish to be added.
Please ensure that photos are only shared within this group (unless permission is sought) as
not all families wish their child to be on social media.

Fees
Club fees are required to be paid on the 1st of each month and ensure references have a note of your child’s name and age group.

PAYFC have launched its very own club lottery. All profits will be used to supply and kit out
our teams as well as equipment for training. You are given the opportunity to choose 3
numbers between 1-20 for £1. You can play as many lines each week as you wish. All money
is split 50/50 with the winner. If no winners, the jackpot is a rollover to the following week.
Payments can be made via bank transfer weekly, in the clubhouse in cash or by card. Lottery
numbers are drawn using a random generator and posted weekly in our Parental group chat via WhatsApp.

We hold several additional fundraising events each year including race nights, football cards,
festivals and sponsor walks. All these events raise funds for the club to continue to improve
our club, children’s end of year events and equipment.

Within the Pavilion at Middleshot we have a tuck shop which operates with committee
members / parents/ carers during training evenings and matches. There is a selection of
snacks, sweets, hot/cold drinks as well as hot filled rolls at the weekends.

Our club’s annual registration and insurance runs from 1st December – 30th November. Each
year our club is registered with the SYFA to enable our players and teams to play in the East
of Scotland Soccer Development Association (ESSDA) league. Every child is registered in
January to enable them to play in our new season. There is an additional cost of £20 per
player registration and player insurance which is payable each January or August. This will
be communicated via the Whatsapp group chat and can be payable in cash within our
clubhouse or bank transfer.

Our club has a boot bank/ box where families from the different age groups within the club
have handed in used good/ great condition football boots their child has outgrown. If your
child is starting out playing football or has outgrown their current boots, please feel free to let
us know and you can choose a new pair. We understand children’s feet grow rapidly and
new boots every few months are a substantial expense. Many families use this.
