STONEHAM'S DATE AT NO. 10
AFC Stoneham were delighted to be invited to 10 Downing Street this week to celebrate the club's positive impact on the community.
With 113 teams and 1500 players, the Stoneham Lane side is one of the largest community grassroots sports clubs in the country, gaining national recognition for our work as a volunteer-run, community club.
The Right Honourable Lucy Frazer, The Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport invited the club to No. 10, with the Purps represented by Chairman, Mark Stupple (pictured).
He said: "It was great to visit Downing Street and represent the whole club. We discussed our recent growth, our positive impact on the local community and our future plans which were very well received"
"The club is acutely aware that this recognition is a very proud moment for the whole club and every volunteer that contributes to both our success and the positive impact on our community.
"We would therefore like to send a huge thank you to every manager, coach and club volunteer who contributes towards our club and made this national recognition possible.
Without these great people there is no national recognition. A very proud day for AFC Stoneham."
