    Help, Please!

    Grahame Rowley writes that "There will be at least four games played at Moss Lane over that weekend and hopefully many supporters/visitors to the Beer Festival. We are looking for volunteers who can help out over that weekend, be it to serve in the Real Ale Bar, help sweep/mop the dressing rooms after the games, or help on our Family Fun Day on Sunday, on stalls.

    If you can spare any time, be it half an hour or half a day, please either text/phone me on 07720-606897".

    Also, Grahame adds that the Club has 2,000 leaflets advertising the Beer Festival and Bingo Night at Moss Lane, so "If you are friendly with local shopkeepers/newsagents/chippies, etc and wouldn't mind asking them to have a supply of leaflets to distribute to customers, would you please pick up some leaflets from Moss Lane or contact the club by e-mail or by ringing (0161) 928-1045 to arrange for delivery?".
