The Club Is 100
26th June 2020
Well, we made it !
The Club was 100 Years old on 26th June 2020.
The Club was actually started in the field in Old Post Office Lane. It was started in a small hut, Somewhere in the School / Phoenix Hall grounds. The District part of our name is relevant , as people did travel from all over the valley to frequent our / your Club.
In the Club we do have the original minute Book. A fantastic part of our / your Club history.
There is also a memoirs Book, we would love to read your stories.
We have come through a lot in those 100 years. Big Fairgrounds out the back fields. Flower & Vegetable Shows. Lots of Darts ,Crib, Snooker & Billiards. Border League days.
On a couple of occasions, nearly closing our doors for good!!
But, we have come through it all. We had a party planned for Sat 27th June. Obviously postponed till a later, safer date.
Over the Lockdown period it has been a very difficult time for everyone.
We would all like some form of normality back in our lives.
We have been busy in our/ your Club during the latter dates of Lockdown.
Pop in and see for yourselves (Observing the social distancing protocol ).
Your Chairman
Gary Davis
