Still going strong – The Southern Sporting MCC and Training Scheme celebrate anniversary milestones in 2008. (Jan 2008)

This year sees the Club and Training Scheme reach some important milestones. The Club celebrates its 70th anniversary in Autumn 2008, whilst the Training Scheme celebrates its 60th anniversary in April this year. To recognise this major achievement, we are holding two celebratory events on Saturday 19th April 2008.

In the afternoon (1.30pm – 4.30pm) we are having an open day at the Training Scheme (for address details please see Training Scheme page). All Club members and pupils (past and present) are invited to come along, reminisce and have some fun. We also celebrate 44 years of the Scheme at Isleworth Town School this year.

In the evening from 7.30pm an anniversary event is being held in Teddington with entertainment and a buffet provided. All past and present members are invited and entry is by advance ticket only (£15 per person). If you would like further details, please contact John Mason (Club President) or Robert Wood (Hon General Secretary).
