Section 2.

You will hear a speech by an official at a meeting of a local football club at the start of a new football season.

First you have some time to look at questions 11 to 17.

Now listen carefully and answer questions 11 to 17.

Good evening everyone, and thank you for coming to the soccer club meeting.

It’s good to see so many parents and children here tonight and I know you’re looking forward to a great football season.

Now I’d like to take a few minutes to tell you about some changes to the soccer club for the coming season.

Now this season we’ll be playing all our matches for both the junior and senior competitions at king’s park, instead of royal park which was used last season.

Now for meetings we’re going to use the clubhouse in king’s park and the next meeting will be held in the clubhouse, on the 2nd of July.

As usual, we hope to begin the season with a picnic next Saturday at the clubhouse, please try and come to the picnic as it’s always good fun.

At the last week of the season, we usually have a dinner and presentation of prizes to the players, and more information about this will be given to you later in the season.

This season we have more teams than ever, we hope to have 10 teams instead of five in the junior competition and they’ll play on Saturday mornings beginning at 8:30 a.m, training sessions will be held in king’s park on Wednesday afternoons for the juniors and they will be wearing red shirts again this year.

In the senior competition they’ll be four teams same as last year and they games will be play on Saturday afternoon starting at 2:30 at oh, no sorry, it will be a two o’clock start, and the training session for seniors is planned for Sunday afternoons.

Before you hear the rest of the speech you have some time to look at questions 18 to 20.

Now listen and answer questions 18 to 20.

Now I’d like to introduce you to the new committee for the soccer club for this season.

Firstly let me welcome, Robert Young the new president who will manage or manage the meetings for the next two years.

Robert son has been playing football with the club for over five years now and uh many thanks to Robert for taking on the job of president.

Next we have Gina Costello, she’s the treasurer and she’ll collect the fees from you for the season.

Please try and give Gina your fees as early as possible in the season, as the club needs the money to buy some new equipment.

Then there’s David West who’s volunteered to be the club secretary and one of the many jobs he’ll have is to send out newsletters to you regularly, if you have any information that may be useful, please let David know so that it can be included in these newsletters.

Also I’d like to introduce you to Jason Dokich who is the head coach for all the new members here tonight this is the third year that Jason has been with us as head coach and we’re very lucky to have such an experienced coach and former player at our club.

He will continue to supervise the teams at training sessions and on match days, now before we finish and have some refreshments does anyone have any questions they’d like to ask a new committee?

That is the end of section two you now have half a minute to check your answers
