It is with great regret that must inform you that John Turner has resigned from his position as a Director of Gisborne Soccer Club and his role as Sponsorship Director.
With a significant amount raised from sponsorships this year following a very difficult period with COVID, the Club's financial position seems significantly less at risk than it was at the heart of the pandemic and John's contribution to that has been significant. However he has now found it necessary to take the decision to resign in the face of increasing business responsibilities of his own that require his time.
John is a long standing member of the Club having coached previously and with kids having played here. Despite this resignation, he remains one of our generous sponsors, a commitment he has made to the Club over a number of years via the Black Forest Motel. Additionally he will continue to strut his stuff in the vets team (hamstrings permitting) and advocate for the Club he has devoted so much of his time to down the years.
Thank you John for stepping into the breach at what was a tricky time for the Club and we look forward to your unmistakable presence around the grounds over the remainder of this season and for seasons to come.
President, Richard Smart
