Opening Ceremony for Jim Barrow Stand
Posted by on 26 January 2020
Our fabulous new 70 seat spectator stand was formally opened by Pat Barrow, Jim's widow, in a short ceremony led by Steve Kinsella, WHC President. We were delighted also to welcome Jim's son, Bruce, and his brother Don for the occasion. There was a great turnout from across the club together with representation from England Hockey as Julie Longden was amongst the crowd.
The stand now has a name sign fully in keeping with the stand and new astro - many thanks to Rick Menlove for managing the design and installation of the new sign which looks fantastic as you can see from the picture below
From L - R, Steve Kinsella, Pat Barrow, Bruce Barrow and Don Barrow.
The Men's 5s also welcomed Bruce for what was intended as a brief cameo appearance which turned out to last most of the match against Timpereley, complete with green card ! The rules have changed since Bruce last played competitively - but hopefully he enjoyed his run out as much as we did ! But we all enjoyed the range of sandwcihes provided by le Sandwich for guests and players alike.
