Danny Burnett steps down as Club Development Officer handing the role over to Brian Hood.
The club would like to take the opportunity to thank Danny for all his efforts and his contribution to making Lasswade such a vibrant and successful team.
Brian, a former police officer from Peebles took up post on Monday 22 September. On starting the role Brian said ” It’s a real privilege to be working with such a great club. The whole set up is well organised and part of my role is to maintain that high standard. To do that though, we need members, parents and grandparents to give up some time to help coaches and team managers. In the coming weeks I will be asking what help they need and then asking – who can help ? “
