On Thursday 29th November this year the club will be 140 years old.
You can check the CLUB HISTORY to date on the CLUB INFO section, also the CLUB WAR MEMORIAL too.
This is only the start as I have a wealth of information, photographs, news paper cuttings, trivia etc to post on the site so please keep your eyes open.
And I'm on the look out for more. If you have anything you think will be of interest, no matter how recent or dog eaten please recount it or scan it and e-mail to me to save for posterity. I would especially like to build up a portfolio of club characters and legends over the years - at bit like the Old Higsonians for those of you old enough to remember.
Also the donation or loan of any memorabilia will be greatly received.
There still is a lot of stuff in boxes to be displayed in the clubhouse and I'm hoping that it can be scanned and remounted like Phil Horner has brilliantly done in the Cocktail Lounge. I'd be very interested in talking to anyone interested in sponsoring sections to underwrite this.
Thanks, Graham
