Liverpool Central FC & Kirkdale WMHS Prize Presentations 2013

Hello folks,

This week we catch up on a couple of prize presentations, beginning with a report from fellow scribe Danny Pearson on the Liverpool Central FC do.

The Liverpool Central Flying Club held its prize presentation in the Dockers Club on Friday 1st November. The night is usually a low key event with mainly members and the locals from the Dockers having a free night. Terry Shawcross does a fantastic job every year selling spot the balls with proceeds going behind the bar (thanks Terry). This year again was a brilliant night with the likes of Tommy Hughes, Jimmy Turner, Wally Vickers, Colin Yates, Tommy Hibbs and Jimmy Mannion to name a few (oh and also John Porter who came along when he heard about the free bar lol). The buffet was supplied by our very own Debbie Walsh, who once again gave the members a full belly to soak the beer up. The guest of honour was the brilliant racing partnership of Brian & Simon Maguire, who the members would like to thank and also for giving us all a laugh throughout the night.
