Macclesfield

A win for City: 1-0
On 18 March 2009 the museum will be hosting another ‘extra time’ event for seniors. After the overwhelming success of the first ‘extra time’, we are expecting a good turn out for the second event. The day is aimed at the over 50’s who might like to enjoy a social session at Bradford City Football Club.
The day begins in the bantamspast museum at 10am with tea and coffee. There will be a museum tour, a chance to meet players old and new, a showing of the DVD made about our community award and a tour of the ground. Lunch will be provided and the day will end around 1pm.
Anyone interested in attending is asked to book with Paula Helliwell. We need to know the numbers attending in order to provide refreshments. People can book individually or as a group. Please contact Paula before Friday 13th March on 07814 760198 or by email paula.helliwell@googlemail.com
Prior to the Aldershot game we will be showing more of our recently acquired photographs, this time concentrating on the late 1980’s and early 1990’s. The presentation will also feature some film footage of that era and we are hoping that a few former players will be in attendance. The presentation begins at 1.30pm and as usual admission is free.
Finally, we’d like to send our best wishes to Gladys Hannah who recently had a fall and is currently in a nursing home in Manningham. Gladys’ fund raising over the years is the stuff of legend. There can’t be many people at Valley Parade who haven’t bought a raffle ticket from Gladys. Let’s hope that she will be back at Valley Parade to see our final push for promotion. Our thanks to Bill Roper for proving a photograph of a fund raising event from the 1970’s. Gladys can be seen in white alongside Trevor Hockey. Bobby Ham, sporting a moustache that wouldn’t have been out of place in a spaghetti western, is behind Gladys and on the right with the flowing golden locks is Garry Watson.
