Among the many more contemporary Club photographs gracing the Club walls, pride of place above the Bar is the original 1963 photograph of Club Officials and playing members.
We are hoping to recreate that time with an up to date photo 50 years on, and maybe a lunch prior to one of the home league fixtures.
Those whose memories are somewhat dimmed may find their name on the following list. Unfortunately, some members are no longer with us but we hope to print all the names. We are confident some good, and even great, moments will be recalled.
