Canvey Island's entry to the Conference has coincided with the departure of one of the club's best-loved characters.
Steve Parmenter has been released after six years at Park Lane and is joining another former Gulls favourite, Scott Forbes, in Bishop's Stortford's search for Conference South glory.
Parmenter, who made League appearances for Bristol Rovers earlier in his career, said: "I can look back at my time with Canvey with tremendous pride.
"I've got Ryman championship honours and an FA Trophy winners' medal and I've no regrets at all.
"The memories of some of our great FA Cup and Trophy days will always be with me."
