Presentation Evening

 

St Agnes AFC 2007-08 Presentations

 

St Agnes AFC Senior End Of Season Dinner/Dance and Presentations Evening was held at The Inn For All Seasons on Saturday 31st May. More photos are here.

Well attended by more than 100 members of the clubs senior teams the star of the evening was retiring club secretary Jim Stenning. At a sprightly 84 years of age Jim has just completed an amazing 20 years in post but owing to recent poor health has decided to take a step back to a more advisory role.


Jim's involvement in football over the years has been comprehensive from playing in his younger years in the London area to representing an England Army side against a Scottish representative side in Kuala Lumpar when he played right half and scored a goal!

20 years ago having moved to the St Agnes area Jim saw in a local paper an advert looking for a club secretary for St Agnes AFC, he telephoned the Chairman of the time Roger James to apply, a meeting was arranged at Enys Parc the same day and the rest is history!

Jim was completely blown away as, now retired, Roger James returned to the club as a guest for the evening and presented him with a certificate of Honorary Life Membership of the club he has worked so hard for over the last 20 years, current Chairman Mandy Kimmins explained, As it was Roger's fault Jim ended up at the club I thought it only right and proper he should be the person to send him off too!

A further surprise for Jim was the arrival of Brian Biggin Council Representative from the Cornwall County Football Association who eloquently congratulated Jim on his great example set over the years, his longevity of post and awarded him with a Football Association Long Service Award.
Chairman Mandy Kimmins presented Jim with flowers and everyone present at the evening stood to their feet to applaud a real gentleman of Cornish football.
