It's not long now, 5th March 2023.
Not surprisingly, we will be bringing out a new club history book. This one will focus on the last 25 years and the author is Johnnie Lowery. The book will essentially be a chronological record of events of the last quarter of a century with contributions from many of of the people most closely involved in events on and off the field.
It's largely written, we need to polish it and add some photos and then prepare for printing. Don't take this as final, things might change, but we are currently looking at around 150 pages plus photos. Ideally we will go hardback, subject to costs.
So, what we would like to have is an indication of likely sales. Initial quotes suggest a retail price of £10, but that's not guaranteed, it could be slightly higher.
If I have done this properly, a simple poll should appear here. Can you please vote to indicate your intentions (you can vote yes to both £10 and £12 if you wish). Thank you.
Details of the Anniversary Dinner will be publicised soon.

Well, we're probably the most likely to be interested in the book 😂

Don't bother about a poll. Just do it.
