Please see full article:- www.suttonunited.net/news/2023/february/125th-anniversary-party---full-details/In summary:- - New anniversary history book is at the printers, we are aiming to have it on sale before the end of February
- The club shop is selling a range of anniversary clothing and souvenirs
- Our 125 Party will be on 4th March after the game at home to Crewe. It will be free to attend, but you can book a hot buffet (£10, must be bought in advance) or alternatively the serving hatch will be open to buy from the usual range of burgers, chips etc
For the buffet, you will receive an e-ticket which you will need to show to me during the day to collect a meal voucher.

I've now received the advance proof copies of the book and it is excellent quality, really happy with how it has turned out. Just waiting now for expected delivery date for final order.
In terms of the party, please remember that the usual parking rules will apply on match day and that as many of those already parked will be staying on for the evening event there will still not be many spaces available. The car-park time will announce the evening arrangements soon.

Have had the fortunate pleasure of being given a preview of the 125th anniversary book.
Well written by Johnny Lowery but it's the contributions from those closely involved that give this publication a real positive edge.
They evoke vivid recent and older memories of the past 25 years. There is a very good photo section too.
Whether you have been watching Sutton for decades or just the past few seasons I recommend it.
Well done to all those involved in the project. Note, my input was minimal.

Hopefully very soon, just waiting to see whether the books turn up on the scheduled delivery date Dependent on timing and weather, maybe it’d be a good idea to have a stall outside the club shop to help sell the book on match days? Not everyone goes into the shop, which is cramped anyway, but a stall would be hard to miss.

The books have arrived ! So will go on sale soon, please keep an eye on the website. We also hope to have them on sale on the evening of the 4th, you might even get the author to sign a personalised copy for you if you buy him a pint.

And if you prefer to book the hot buffet in advance rather than pay on the night at the servery, please remember to do this before next Wednesday.

The book is now on sale:- www.suttonunited.net/news/2023/february/anniversary-book-and-coins-now-on-sale/You'll have to make your own mind up about the content (but I think Johnnie has done an excellent job, an in-depth review of the last 25 years and the key moments that shaped the club's fortunes), but in terms of the book itself it is a high quality, hard-cover production with loads of colour photos that will deserve a place on anyone's shelf.
