Funny you say that! I remember going through this very thick family history book & seeing in it people I went to school with in Wynyard. Thankfully my mum was born in Yorkshire so lessened the chances of any issues haha I loved our footy & cricket seasons but never beat being on beach or out bush!

Glad it went well. Was working all day, unf. Been meaning to message you to ask about a poster presentation session, as many conferences hold. It's always great to see project ideas displayed visually in poster format. Just an idea for something we would certainly participate in. Also SEN friendly.

Grassroots footy is what's most important. Always thought it was a shame when it got too big. For me footy will always be the memory of going to games on the NW Coast - Somerset, Wynyard, Forest, Stanley, Irishtown etc, and then local cricket in the warmer weather. Greed never goes well. Shame!!
