Started in December and appears to be doing really well and enjoying it. Has successfully recruited new girls as regulars to the drop in sessions. Has taken some pressure off Adam.

Feedback on whether Leyton Orient Community Programme can offer any more support. Danny
Danel has already been advised that in August the expected lower demand for the ‘pay and play session’ and the suspension of team training will mean he can have a break that month. Nick

when the current U9s team reach U11s as Borough commitments may interfere too much. Nick
