25 years on from Fatty Lewis fitting our roof on behalf of Bryn Cartwright Roofing and storm Eunice has pulled it down.
As a committee we have decided not to seek any compensation from Mr Cartwright as it didn’t end well for Fatty when he fell off it in ‘97

Last year Storm Eunice ripped apart Bryan Cartwright’s office.
Today it’s been transformed into a game analysis room with all the work done by club volunteers (not Fatty Lewis)
All we need now is Mr Cartwright to come up & cut the red tape - anyone have a contact for him? 🔴⚫️
Today is also a special occasion for club stalwart
@MarkJohn_12
Following his conversion today. At 50, he’s now scored points for

in the last 5 decades.
80’s, 90’s, 00’s, 10’s and 2020.

3 years of planning
2 postponements
1 massive task
But we did it!
It may not be the 30 year anniversary as planned. But we’re finally going back to Canada, to tour and to play in the same tournament our seniors played in 1990 with 82 club members

You mean to show the younger generation that no matter how much money is thrown about in the amateur game, no money can buy unity and togetherness whilst having a bit of fun. Thanks for your comment Gareth, we’ll take absolutely nothing you said on board.
