Platt Lane - Parking Update
/
Keyworth United Community Football Club along with the Keyworth Sports Association would like to acknowledge the ongoing issues surrounding the congested parking during match day’s in recent weeks.
The Chairman of the KUCFC John Cottee as well as his committee members are currently looking into the situation and discussing options with key contacts to bring about a solution as quickly as possible. The committee is also aware of planned road closures around the Keyworth area in the coming weeks and understand the further impact this will have. We hope to have further updates in the coming weeks.
With both our Juniors, First Team and Reserves teams playing Home fixtures this Saturday [08/10/22] we suspect there will be a busy car park at Platt Lane and we encourage all attendees to Platt Lane to be extra vigilant when Arriving or Leaving the premises.

Kit Aid - Charity Football Strips
KitAid is a charity set up by, Derrick Williams MBE, who visited Tanzania on a WaterAid supporters’ trip in 1998. Derrick, being a mad footie fan, was amazed at the reception he received from children and adults in remote villages just because he wearing his favourite football shirt (Watford, Chesham Utd, Liverpool FC to name a few).
After two weeks in Tanzania, a flame was lit in Derrick’s heart and he was on a mission to provide kit and equipment to the bare-footed children playing with footballs made of tied string and plastic bags. Twenty one years on, KitAid has lots of volunteers and to date we’ve sent out 800,000+ kits to children and adults in 55 different countries across the world.
More details to follow so keep your eyes peeled.

How we’re helping out at Keyworth United Community Football Club?
KitAid is a charity that finds a new home for your unwanted kit in areas of the developing world where football is loved, but participation is held back by a lack of access to kit and equipment.
We have two collection bags at Platt Lane and we’re pleading with Parents, Coaches and Players to bring down any unwanted football equipment from any club, not just Keyworth united. Whether that be Shirts, Socks, Boots, Kits, Bibs etc, bring them to the club and help a worthy cause.
We do ask that people could bag up their donations and write the size on the bag so that we can organise any donations more effectively.
