Nuptials:
Mark Laithwaite and Gill Bacon have
decided to avoid being selected for the final
Northern League match by getting married on
Sunday 7 August at the Bishopscale
Chapel, Great Langdale in Ambleside
followed by a reception at the Stickle Barn
Tavern. We know it's an extreme way to avoid
an afternoon's racing but we all wish them every
happiness. The club is making enquiries about
the hire of a light aircraft to get athletes
from the match at Stretford to the Lakes but
barring a win on the lottery it may be difficult
to fund. And to think they said it would never
happen!!!!!!! Many congratulations to the happy
couple. |
BAL Cup Semi-Final:
St Helens-Sutton A C are the only
Merseyside club to contest the BAL Cup this year. We are
scheduled to take part in the semi-final at Stoke on
16 July where the two seeded clubs are Brrchfield
and Sale. The draw will be made at 10.a.m. on the day
of the match and the rest of the clubs in the draw are
Blackpool, Cannock, Cardiff, City of Stoke, Deeside,
Dudley, Lincoln Wellington, Newport, Notts, Pitreavie,
Shrewsbury, Wakefield and Wrexham. If we do not manage to
qualify for the final we will have the chance to compete in
the Plate final depending on the quality of our performances.
Any officials wishing to gain experience in another area are
welcome to come along (always useful for upgrading).

Gill and her family at this sad time.
