Brian Lochead - CHAIRMAN:
"I have been involved with Pitshanger FC since September 2003 when as a parent of a new U8, I felt sorry for the coach who was alone at the end of training and helped him pick up cones and poles...by the following week I was helping to run sessions....and the rest is history. I proceeded to manage the team my son played in through to U18 and became Chairman in 2010.
I am passionate about football and sport in general and have brought my business management expertise to move our Club forward and believe that we have a fantastic opportunity, by building on progress made in our most difficult year, to grow this club into both a successful club from a winning trophies point of you but also a club our community can relate to and be proud of".

Reynolds Ofori-Koree (aka ROK) - DEPUTY CHAIRMAN & CLUB OPERATIONS OFFICER:
"Like many involved in grassroots football I was just a enthusiastic Dad on the side-lines who was roped in to assist with the running of the under 10 squad some 6 years ago. Whilst I love football (YNWA ?) I didn’t have a clue about coaching, let alone coaching 20 hyperactive 10-year olds! What I would say is that it has, and continues to be a fantastic ride and my only regret is not getting involved sooner.
What I appreciate the most about PFC is the clubs commitment to being relevant to the community, building on its near half a century of history and continuing to provide football for boy and girls of all ages and abilities across the borough.
I consider it a privilege to be able to contribute to this stage of the club’s development, and to its continued success in the capacity of Deputy Chair/Club COO, assisting in all aspects of the running of the club".

Curtis Alleyne - CLUB WELFARE OFFICER:
"I joined Pitshanger Football Club 6 years ago as a dad with a young son who had decided he wanted to play football. We had been at the club less than 2 weeks when dad turned into coach (that is the job title so I am sticking with it) and I was away training for my FA Level 1 Certificate in Coaching Football. I have enjoyed every minute of my time with the club (not the 18-0 losses) and it has been a great experience seeing the teams, players and coaches grow and develop along the way.
It is an honour to now be a member of the Club Executive Committee and undertake the duties of Club Welfare Officer. The club places great importance on the safeguarding of its players, coaches and all people associated with the club and I am grateful that I can play a part in keeping this fantastic club safe for all".

Jay Soneji - TREASURER:
"I have been a volunteer at the Club since my eldest said 'dad I want to play football', that was back in 2003. Having played football myself, I initially helped the coach, who soon asked me to manage the team. A few years later, I also became the Club treasurer. Both of my boys have represented Pitshanger through to u18 level. The Club is well run and supported by a dedicated team of volunteers, who are enthusiastic and passionate about football. The ethos is football for all, developing their skills and nurturing the players to become fine young men and women. It is a pleasure to be a part of this community".

Alan Collins - SECRETARY:
"After 20 years of being involved in my sons' football, both managing and coaching, I wanted to play a part in moving the club forward and ensuring that it continues to allow players to develop in football and life skills. These skills not only show how to play the game but also develop qualities such as resilience, tenacity, team work and dedication whilst seeing what benefits working hard, both as an individual and as part of a team, can bring. Qualities they will find beneficial throughout their education and in their future careers. Most of all I want players to love the sport and to be playing well into their 50s, 60s and beyond, with the same enthusiasm and joy they have as a youth player.
As Club Secretary I get to help with the shaping and running of the club so that today's young players can benefit from the same opportunities (and in many cases improved opportunities) which both of my children have enjoyed at Pitshanger FC".
Archie Mohindra - CLUB MEMBERSHIP, COMMUNICATIONS & MARKETING OFFICER
"As a local resident of Ealing since the late 80s and as a parent with two kids playing at PFC, I have grown up in the Pitshanger Lane area. The fact my children are now doing the same is testament to how much I love it! For these reasons, choosing to give my time to the Club was very easy. We have a superb team of dedicated, volunteer coaches and grounds staff who give up their time every week to make sure the teams can train and play matches.
Being the Membership and Marketing Secretary means I can do what I do best which is to help market the club, communicate with its membership and help them get the most out of the club. So, if you have any membership, database, sponsorship or communications questions, please feel free to drop me a line".
