Wrong on all counts. If you put your name to this then I'll reply (maybe)

The closing date for applicants is this coming Saturday June 1st. As a result of tonight's EGM, Deryk Heywood resigned as Chair following the 'non merger' with Mousehole. He was thanked for his services. The new Chair elected was Mr Nick Duncan, who brings with him a wealth of football knowledge. We are very excited with what the future holds. Charlie Farley

Personal capacity - What would you like to be when you grow up Rodney?

Ha, you're still banned Mr Beer

Deryk Heywood has said recently that 'should the merger not go ahead then he would resign as Chair of Penzance AFC'. More statements will follow this week.

No

Ha, no doors shut here Dave. We've had private functions, youth meetings, maintenance being carried out and intense meetings with all and sundry. These meetings are set to continue as we aim to get this project over the line. Great podcasts from all involved though, keep it up Charlie

The trouble on here is that every word gets dissected, then comments are taken out of context and printed in local press. I mean, why the hell should anyone from the two clubs involved have to respond to the questions from some random Bodmin supporter (cue howls of derision). (as JM replied in a previous post elsewhere, 'polite response'). Penzance and Mousehole will be merging. We are working extremely hard to get it done in time for next season. All I ask is that our players and supporters give us the time to do this. The merger, not a takeover, or a sell out, will benefit football in all Penwith as any surplus from the two first teams becoming one will naturally play somewhere else and boost local teams.

No your not going mad Kev. Seems some people don't understand the definition of a merger!

(Speaking in a personal capacity) Deryk will love that John. All the above is correct of course, except he's a red, the rest of his family are blue lol.

Penzance and Mousehole Football Clubs are in discussions to explore in principle the possibility of the two clubs merging into one identity. An interim committee has been formed with members from both clubs, chaired by Mr Deryk Heywood, to bring this to fruition. Further information on this will be released in due course. Thank you Charlie Farley Penzance AFC Secretary
