ReUnion Lunch 2 (Autumn) - Saturday 30th September 2023, Eccles v Aldwinians. Meet 1230pm. Sit down 1pm. Kick Off 3pm.

Such was the success and popularity of the former player's ReUnion Lunch in March, the club has decided to host it twice this season, one in the Autumn and one in Spring. The 2-course lunch will be £12 per head, payable by cash or card at the club on the day, hosted in the main bar with 60 seats available.  

To secure your seat/s for the lunch in September please email Mike Bateman bateman10@btinternet.com or Dave Nicholls davenicholls_abc@hotmail.com‬ before Saturday 23rd September, so Marie has reasonable notice for the preparations. The confirmed attendees so far are listed below. If your name is missing and you would like to attend please contact Mike or Dave. If you can't make the lunch this autumn there will be another opportunity later in the season:

ReUnion Lunch 3 (Spring) - Saturday 17th February 2024, Eccles v Bolton. Meet 12pm. Sit down 1230pm. Kick Off 2.15pm.
