I have heard that there is a Hall Of Fame event at Keighley this Friday. If that is true then Garfield will be there with Andrew so you presumably will be able to get a signed copy then.
(Failing that I will be at the launch and can arrange to get a signed copy for you, Rach).

I will put a message on here as soon as I hear whether Garfield will be going to the Hall of Fame event on the 27th May

Re: News about a former Keighley player coach : Wed May 18, 2011 8:30 am  

As a former player, would it be worthwhile asking Garfield if he would be interested in allowing the Cougars to sell signed copies of his book on the same basis as the high street bookshops - on sale or return, thereby enabling the Cougars, as one of his former clubs, to benefit from the sales?

With the demise of Reid's, why boost the profits of Amazon and WH Smith?

Have just been told by Andrew Hardcastle the biographer that he and Garfield will be going to the Hall of Fame event this Friday and will be taking with him some books that the Welshman will be more than happy to sign.
