Percy Main Amateurs FOLLOW US ONLINE TWITTER.COM/FOOTYFOCUSMAG Percy Main Amateurs FOOTBALL CLUB Percy Main Amateurs FC is recognised as a Community Amateur Sports Club and is committed to playing an important role in their local area. Football Focus Magazine recently caught up with Club Representative Norman de Bruin to find out more about the good work that they’ve been doing lately. He told us, “I’ve been involved with the club since 2002 when I was enticed in by an old school friend (club treasurer) called Gary Hull. Gary sadly died in a road accident in January 2003 and the Gary Hull Memorial Trophy match is played out at the start of every season; the 2018 game will be its 16th consecutive year. I became treasurer in 2003 and secretary in 2008, a role I’ve fulfilled ever since.” “The most challenging part of my role is getting good people to help out, committee members etc. and to survive financially in today’s difficult times. Another challenge is people’s work patterns, meaning that Saturday has now become a part of the working week. The most rewarding thing is the good feedback we receive from people who have played for, visited, supported or sponsored the club. “At the moment the mood around the club is one of optimism. We have an enthusiastic and well-respected new team manager who takes charge of his first full season at the club and has also helped out greatly behind the scenes.
