ICKLESHAM CASUALS FOOTBALL CLUB
Season 2011-12 will be the club’s seventy-fifth and initial discussions have taken place on how to mark this occasion. There are few other clubs locally at our level who have a similar history so to recognise the achievement and to share the celebrations with as many past and present members as well as friends of the club as possible it has been decided to hold a series of events throughout the year. A timetable is shown below which will give an idea of what is planned. Further details will be added to the website once these have been finalised and confirmed.
