[Jack]

Afternoon everyone. My old dear is involved in events and marketing management at Solent Uni, and made me aware of this event tomorrow. She mentioned she'll be interviewing MLT, Lawrie Mac will be in attendance, along with several ex-Saints playing a match against Team Solent. All proceeds will be going to very worthy charities, including Exsaints.

 

Get down there for a great day - the unveiling of a new plaque to celebrate the opening of the new facility is at 12.30pm, with Ex Saints vs Team Solent at 2pm.
