Calverton Miners Welfare
Social & Welfare Services in Nottingham, Nottinghamshire
Since 2002 we've been working towards fulfilling our 5 Year Development Plan which has seen us become one of the 1st 84 clubs in the country to achieve FA Charter Standard Community Club accreditation. On the back of this we've been capable to successfully apply for substantial funding from the Football Foundation and other partnership backers to allow us to turn what we already believed to be excellent facilities into several of the finest in the county. We'll now have four excellent perfectly level full sized pitches.

Early History
read moreThe earliest evidence of a Calverton Colliery team dates back to 1946 which was formed by Arthur "Jocky" Mathews. It is believed that this team played a number of friendly games before entering the Nottingham Spartan League Division 2 for the 1947-48 season. They played their first competitive match on 13 August 1947 at home against Whatton United with the result finishing all square at 1-1. The Nottingham Football Post from the time stated that "Reports are to hand of the splendid amenities of Calverton", something that we still pride ourselves on today.
