Over seventy parents and children from Trinity Church School enjoyed a thoroughly entertaining afternoon at Bath City Football Club during the half term break.
The visit was arranged to give children an opportunity to see some quality local sport. Despite the cold weather, the group enjoyed the afternoon, which included a behind the scenes tour and an opportunity to walk out onto the pitch for an informative chat with commercial manager, Bob Chester, who was our host for the afternoon.
Club Captain, Dan Ball, and referee, Will Finnie, also took time to talk to the group about the importance of working hard and playing fair.
Harry and Katie joined the teams for the coin toss and also each received a Bath Building Society goody bag containing, amongst other things, a £10 voucher to open an account.
The club mascot, Bladud the Pig, was particularly popular with the children, who mobbed him for some photographs, as was the delicious pizza that followed after full time. After finishing off their food, the children got to meet man of the match, Andy Watkins and star striker, Nick McCootie.
Many of the parents commented both on the warm welcome the club gave them, as well as how much they enjoyed seeing their children relishing live sport.
Oh, and to top it off, The City won 4–0!
