The cancellation of this year’s Christmas Luncheon was a huge disappointment for everyone at the Hunslet. As well as being a popular fixture on the social calendar it brings much needed revenue into the Club. A point not lost on Organiser in Chief Peter Jarvis.
“We were forced to cancel at a time the Board were agreeing next season’s playing budget with Gary Thornton. Simple economics means if the money isn’t coming in it affects the budget”.
As a former coach of the Club Jarvo knows better than most the impact pound notes have on the quality of the team.
“As a Board we were keen to support Gary’s faith in last year’s squad. The idea to raffle the shirt sleeve sponsorship came to me after a couple of bottles of red wine”.
Jarvo, ably assisted by John Clayton, has been busy getting in touch with supporters, local business men and ex-players to support the initiative. “It’s going well and we are not far off the target we set ourselves. I even got GT to buy a ticket !!!”.
Closing date for the raffle is Friday 16th October with the draw taking place on Wednesday the 21st.
