Friday, 2nd July
Selflessly sacrificing his usual fortnight
in a guest house on the front at Skegness, intrepid club General Secretary, Matt Harvey endures, on the club's behalf, the
17 hour flight to Bali today, on a mission to unearth local talent. As a consequence, Matt will not, now, be available
until July 27th and all contact with the club, in the first instance, should go through the Club's Chairman, Nick Oram,
during this time.

What better way to announce the re-launch
of www.starfootballclub.com than with the unveiling of the club's new kit for the forthcoming season. Provided for the club by its new sponsors,
Fasthosts, it will be the first time that Star FC has worn blue as its first choice strip and the first time that the club
has adopted an all blue kit since the 2001-02 season. Emblazoned with the Fasthosts logo across the chest,
the kit is supplied by Errea, who have not only provided most of the Star FC clubwear that has been available for the last
few seasons but who, also, sponsor the Gloucestershire Northern Senior League, which is the competition that has kept the
First team occupied throughout the course of the last 4 Springs, Winters and Autumns. In order to illustrate
the new kit for an audience eager to experience not only the delights of the new-look web site but, also, the sartorial re-awakening
in which the whole club will engage when the 2010-11 season kicks off, club Secretary Matt Harvey was furnished with an almost
unlimited budget to recruit top class models who would be paragons of athletic and sporting prowess at their best, to
purvey the epitome of both the image and the ethos of the club through the medium of the internet. Unfortunately, such
budget as was available was swiftly converted into alcoholic beverages and Matt had to make do with Tim Jones, Rick Redfearn
and Jon Moss instead.

The Club's old kit, consisting of yellow shirts and blue shorts, will now become its first choice
change strip whilst the third choice kit will remain all grey. Meanwhile, the Green and Red striped kit that, throughout
more than a decade of use, has never clashed with anything apart from itself, will be retained for sentimental reasons and,
also, to be loaned to opponents who turn up expecting to play in Blue themselves. "The Christmas Kit", as
this offence to the eye is generally known, is unlikely to be worn by our own sides again, giving them the opportunity to
point and laugh if ever it sees the light of day again.

The new kit - which can be witnessed in even more of its glory by clicking on either of the photographs
to open them up in larger formats - prompts, naturally enough, a need for a new Club Photograph, the last of which was taken
in 2007. This will be arranged as early in the season as possible and just as soon as the Cheltenham League fixtures
have been released, so that a suitable date can be identified. It is likely that this date will also witness the first
Club social event of the season, so make sure that you keep checking back on this site to keep up to date with all the club
news and updates to the online magazine, ASIB on the WEB, which will also be relaunched soon.
Saturday, 12th June
ASIB on the web, the club's own
online magazine, has received a make-over, along with the rest of the website, and will be back on line shortly. When
it is, updates will be announced on the home page as soon as they are added - just look out for the distinctive yellow and
blue "ASIB" ball logo!!
