Aberdare
Town
are
seeking
to
appoint
a
new
Club
Secretary
ahead
of
the
new
season
following the sad news that David Sweet will be stepping down from the role.
Due
to
a
successful
promotion
at
work
and
a
much
higher
workload,
which
will
include
traveling
away
from
home, sadly this means that he won’t have enough time to dedicate to his existing role.
Dai
initially
joined
the
Club
as
a
volunteer
taking
videos
and
photos
back
in
the
summer
of
2019
before
being
co-opted onto the Committee in January 2020 in the role of vice-chairman.
Within
a
matter
of
months
he
had
taken
on
the
position
of
Club
Secretary
which
he
has
made
his
own
since
then,
overseeing
a
difficult
period
of
the
Club
but
has
been
an
integral
part
of
helping
steady
the
ship
and
getting Aberdare heading back in the right direction.
Chairman
Garry
Williams
said
of
the
news:
“The
whole
committee,
and
the
Club
as
a
whole,
were
sad
to
hear
of
Dave’s
decision
but
we
all
completely
understand
his
reasoning.
A
Club
Secretary
gets
through
so
much
work
behind
the
scenes
that
is
unseen
by
the
majority
of
people
but
without
his
input
there
wouldn’t
be
football
at the Club from our youngest age groups through to the seniors each week.
“The
Club
is
now
on
a
much
more
stable
footing
because
of
the
work
he
has
undertaken
and
although
he
won’t
be
involved
in
the
day
to
day
running
of
ATFC
he
isn’t
leaving
the
Club
entirely
and
will
still
be
seen
around whenever he is able to.
“On
behalf
of
everybody
involved
with
Aberdare
Town
I
would
like
to
thank
Dai
for
all
his
work
over
the
last
five
years and wish him, Tessa and Jack well for the future”.
On
his
departure
Dai
responded:
“I’m
incredibly
sad
to
be
stepping
down,
just
as
the
club
is
on
an
upward
trajectory,
but
work
commitments
mean
it’s
impossible
to
devote
the
time
and
energy
I
have
given
these
past
5
years and that is why I am stepping down with effect from 30 June 2024.
“All
the
pieces
are
in
place
for
the
next
secretary
to
take
on
and
run
with:
‘Kickers’
-
our
under
5
football
provision,
a
thriving
mini
section,
a
junior
and
youth
football
section
of
boys
and
girls
teams
with
tremendous
potential
for
the
future
and
a
senior
men’s
team
that
is
well
positioned
for
success
in
24/25
and
beyond,
with
what I consider to be the best manager below the Cymru South.
“To
my
fellow
committee
members
who
I
am
grateful
to
be
able
to
call
my
friends
as
well
as
colleagues;
thank
you for your support, guidance, patience and for keeping my feet on the ground.
“To
our
coaches
and
volunteers;
thank
you
for
the
countless
hours
you
put
in
for
your
teams,
your
players
and
your
club.
You
do
far
more
than
‘just
coach
football’
and
that
has
never
been
overlooked.
The
impact
you
make
on
your
players’
lives
cannot
be
measured
but
will
last
a
lifetime
and
I’m
grateful
to
have
been
able
to
help
you
do the wonderful job you do.
“To
our
players,
from
those
in
Kickers
to
the
lads
in
the
Men’s
team,
each
time
I
see
one
of
you
in
our
shirt
it
fills
me
with
pride
and
hope.
The
hope
that
only
a
football
fan
can
feel,
the
hope
that
one
day
the
player
in
that
jersey will lift a trophy wearing our badge and I hope you all get to experience that joy.
“My
time
with
the
club
has
been
a
tremendous
privilege;
to
watch
so
many
players
come
through
the
age
groups
and
play
in
the
first
team,
to
help
provide
football
for
children
of
all
abilities
and
to
play
a
small
part
in
the long history of the club is a reward that someone else can now enjoy.
“Whilst
I’ll
still
be
around
on
senior
match
days,
and
it
will
always
be
“my”
club,
it’s
now
someone
else’
turn
to
bring fresh energy and new ideas to take this grand old club back to the next level, where it belongs!”
Men’s
team
manager
Ryan
Betteney
commented
on
the
news
by
saying:
“A
huge
shame
to
see
Dave
step
down
as
Secretary
of
the
club,
but
I
understand
it’s
a
time
consuming
and
thankless
task.
He’s
been
instrumental
in
all
the
good
things
since
I
have
been
here
that’s
for
sure
and
he
will
be
a
huge
loss
to
the
club,
but
from
purely
a
selfish
perspective
hopefully
it
can
release
some
time
to
support
us
on
a
Saturday
afternoon.
He won’t get away with it that easy!”
