Greetland All-Rounders: Ex players reunion 9th April : Sat Mar 05, 2011 1:29 pm  

Just to let everyone know who might have had an interest in one of the town's longest established amateur RL clubs, there's an ex-players & coaches re-union at their Spring Rock clubhouse on saturday April 9th. I understand they've chosen that date to tie in with a home fixture so please tell anyone you know who might be interested. For further details please contact the club at their HQ, type the subject into Facebook or club stalwart Barry Dyson
( who asked me to publicise the event on here )
He specifically asked me to contact our poster "The collector" via this messageboard.
Cheers, and hope to see some of your faces at the do.

Will try and see if I can get some time off work to get over. Short of money at mo but would be great to get there. Have a International Playing shirt for the club to go up on the wall as well if I can make it.

Do they allow him to wear the nasal strip that he wore for rugby ?

What an absolutely fantastic night we had last night in the company of a couple of legends. Ken Dean former player & coach and Bill Kirkbride former coach were just a couple of the many dozens of people who made it up to the Spring Rock based clubhouse.
Well done to everyone who had a hand in making it such a success and a special thanks to Pete Emmett for giving up his time to o a spot on the mic interviewing a couple of people and working a rather boisterous crowd very well, myself being one of his targets as well as a couple of other drunken big mouths !
I've never seen the club look so packed and well done to Simon Cooper for making it over from Germany and staying awake so long after leaving home at 3am, great to see you again buddy.
I'm sure anyone who's ever played a team sport will appreciate what it's like to meet up with so many old playing colleagues, it really was a great event & I hope we have many more of them in future years.
