I just love those signs. They are so redolent of the 1970's. Frame them up and display, everybody's happy.

The club secretary and treasurer named on the picture, T Jenkins is the father of our current treasurer Michael, Bert Cottee named on the picture as outing secretary donated a shield for the best weight on the first club outing of the season, which I won last year and sits on the table in my man cave... Known as The Bert Cottee Shield...
