It is open to anyone but they would like you to ring first for catering purposes. |

John Kitson's grandfather George played for the Club during its early Northern Union days. His father and uncle played also. John had trials but his career ended due to a serious injury.
Linda Kitson first started following the club during the fifties.
Both were involved while she was running the Woolpack Inn in providing sponsorship. They are also helping organise an event at the end of the month at which John Dorahy will be present.

Thanks very much for that insight , so when John told me he used to be a winger ,he was actually telling me the truth.  |

Thanks for making us aware of this event. Attended it this afternoon - it was most interesting and enjoyable (did not eat any of the sarnies).

Thank-you for that, Geoff! I know Linda and John, and was just having a bit of fun. Didn't know about John's family rugby history, though. |
