2009 fixture card
Mike Gouldingay, fixture secretary, who has been extremely busy since the annual general meeting lining up the many fixtures, friendly and league games, is in the process of printing the card for the 2009 season, sponsored once again by the Phillips family of the Clarence Hotel.
Chairman John Baggott has also worked his socks off gleaning support, once again, from our many other sponsors and vice-presidents.
Considering the state of the world's finances, John has done a remarkable job, probably passing all past records.
It is wonderful that the Tenby and district populace are still keenly interested in the affairs of our very successful club.
