✨🇬🇧ARMED FORCES BREAKFAST🇬🇧✨

It was wonderful to welcome so many to this morning’s Armed Forces Breakfast Club.

It was lovely to bring people together, enjoy some good food and conversation, share experiences and provide an opportunity to connect with others.

We are also joined today by Derbyshire Army Cadet Force detachments Hallcroft ACF & Ilkeston ACF.✨

A pre-match Remembrance tribute will take place at Ilkeston Town FC ahead of the 1st teams game at 3pm against Hyde United. An opportunity to remember and honour all those who have served, sacrificed and continue to serve our country.🫡🇬🇧

✨⚽OCTOBER FOOTBALL CAMP ⚽✨

What an amazing day we had yesterday at our FREE October Half-Term Football Camp at Ilkeston Town FC! 🙌🥰

A huge well done to all the children who joined us. Their behaviour, enthusiasm and positive attitudes were outstanding from start to finish! 🤩 It was an absolute pleasure for our coaches to work with such a brilliant group of young people, and we hope everyone had as much fun as we did!🥳

It was also lovely to see so many families come to join us for the end of day awards presentation.💜🏅

A massive thank you to Sport England for helping us put this day together, and Tesco Ilkeston for their kind donation of a £100 voucher, which helped towards keeping everyone fed and fuelled throughout the day!💪💙
