Invitation details herewith.
Our Club Treasurer and Fiesta Chairman, Eric Gillett, has sent the following communication to various Club Secretaries and Team Managers.

"Dear Secretary/Team Manager
May I extend to your Club a friendly invitation to participate in the 21st Crowborough Athletic Fiesta to be held on Saturday 11th May and Sunday 12th May 2019 at the Alderbrook Recreation Ground, Crowborough, East Sussex TN6 3BU, home of Crowborough Athletic FC. I would be very grateful if you would share this invitation with all of your Team Managers/Coaches.
Age groups this year will run from U7's through to U14's and, as always, this year's Fiesta will be sanctioned by the Sussex County FA.

Academy sides from U9 upwards will be required to play up a year.
