We’re absolutely delighted to introduce our new drinks sponsor for this season, The Talent Set!
Some of you may recognise the name already. In fact, this isn’t entirely a new relationship. I’ve personally known The Talent Set team for many years, and thinking back, Victoria was actually involved right at the very beginning of the league in 2006. Which, incredibly, makes her connection to the Charity Softball League a full 20 years strong - wowzers indeed!
While they may be joining us as the “new kids on the block” in an official capacity, The Talent Set team are anything but newcomers. They are a brilliant group, deeply committed to getting things right and making this a fantastic experience for everyone involved.
What to Expect
The Talent Set crew will be out in full force at Finsbury Park, bringing:
- Good vibes
- Free drinks for all attendees
- A few fun surprises and activities to add to the atmosphere
- Loads of energy as we head toward finals day
We’re genuinely thrilled to have them involved as we take an exciting next step this year…
Finals at the London Mets Stadium on Weds 5 August.
For the first time, we’ll be hosting our finals at the London Mets stadium, and it’s looking fantastic.
Sophia and I visited last Friday, and we can confirm:
- The pitches are already marked out and looking sharp
- Players competing in the finals are in for a real treat
There’s plenty of space for everyone:
- Relax on the grass
- Or take in the action from the bleachers
Whether you’re playing or simply coming along to soak up the atmosphere, it’s shaping up to be a brilliant day.
And that same spirit applies beyond the pitch: if you have hiring questions in this current market, The Talent Set are on hand to offer guidance and support.
What We Need From You
To make sure everything runs smoothly (and that there are plenty of refreshments and food for everyone), we need your help.
Please let us know:
- Whether you’ll be attending
- Your dietary requirements
- How many people you’ll be bringing
We’re starting planning earlier than ever this year to ensure we get the right number of drinks and the right amount and type of food.
There will be a form for you to fill in next week, don't ignore it - as we will buy food and drink according to the numbers you say you are brining.
We truly can’t wait to see you all there, so put Wednesday 5 August in your diaries!! and a huge thank you again to The Talent Set for coming on board and helping make this year’s event bigger and better than ever.
Having a challenging time?
Every season brings a few changes, and this year is no exception. We’re sorry to share that two teams, the T-Rexes and MSF Mantarays, won’t be continuing with us this season.
The T-Rexes are currently navigating a significant organisational restructure, and we send them our very best as they work through what we know is a challenging time. Meanwhile, the MSF Mantarays have decided that this simply isn’t their year to take part, and we fully respect their decision.
Both teams have been fantastic members of the league, and they’ll be greatly missed on and off the field.
As ever, we know that building and sustaining a team isn’t always easy. If you’re finding numbers tight, struggling to recruit, or just want to explore new ways to boost engagement and grow your squad, please do get in touch. We’ve been there ourselves, and we’re always happy to share ideas, lend support, and help you make the most of your season.
We currently have a small charity with 9 players ready to join a team, and a previous team with 3 - so let us know.
The strength of this league has always been its community, and we’re here to support each other every step of the way.
