The latest 'View from Richmond Park' Carmarthen AFC column from the Carmarthen Journal -
Carmarthen Town AFC has elected a new club President to succeed Anthony Jenkins.
Jeff Thomas, the former chairman of the club, was elected by an unanimous vote at the club’s Extraordinary General Meeting at the clubhouse.
The fund-raising work carried out by Mr Thomas proved crucial during his 14 years as chairman.
His achievements as club chairman are notable –
• Welsh Cup: three Welsh Cup Finals, winning once
• League Cup Final – twice – winning once
• Consistently finishing in top six of League
• 10 European Cup appearances.
• Ground brought up to UEFA European standard with European games held at Richmond Park. Capacity of 2,500 including 1056 seats in their Grandstand
• State of the art Community Centre, completed at a cost of £400,000 incorporating Social Club, Match Hospitality Suites with conference facilities and meeting rooms available for hire.
• An innovative Carmarthen Town community programme backed by EMC Electrical Services and the ever-supportive Neil Alexander.
• A debt-free club, with a high level of credibility within Welsh football and the local community.
Mr Thomas was unable to attend Friday night’s meeting of the football club as he was being honoured with the ‘Unsung Hero’ award at the annual Carmarthen Town Council Sports Personality awards night at the Carmarthen Quins Club.
The EGM of Carmarthen Town AFC members also receive favourable reports on the work of the club’s Community Programme, the club’s finances and efforts to secure new sponsorship. Members of the executive committee were also able to give club members an insight into their individual roles and tasks on the committee.
