Club captain Duane Straugheir spoke in glowing terms of his new teammates, informing the packed room of fans and sponsors there would be future Club legends from the current squad.
Chairman Kenny Sykes thanked ex-player Keith Mason for organizing and hosting the event along with supporter Ian Pickles.ย He then closed the event by leading the singing of the Club anthem – “We’ve swept the seas before boys”.
