Saturday Yankee ndash; Saddle up and support the club!

New Chief Executive Peter Whitehead said: quot;I am currently looking at all possible ways of increasing club income. One easy way for supporters, or not yet supporters, is to join the very successful Saturday Yankee. At pound;1 per week and the chance to win up to pound;2000, it has to be a bargain. Please contact Eric, Rita or myself at the club office and let us show what we can do."
