Many thanks to Boreham Wood Football Club, who kicked off the summer holidays by hosting an amazing match against the Arsenal first team to celebrate the opening of their new and impressive stand. The passion and enthusiasm they showed on the pitch was shared with many local children who attended the first of the summer football courses. It was brilliantly organised and with talented coaching it was clear that the kids loved every minute of it. It not only occupied the children doing something that they love, it provided first class and affordable child care.

There are two more courses to come, starting August 11 and August 25 – my son can not wait. With young learners training for children up to 12 years every Thursday from 4pm every week.

Many thanks BWFC for your hard work this summer.
