Largs AFVBC
Vale Park Football Club who are usually located in Burslem which is a town
situated within the city of Stoke-on-Trent were up in Largs on a weeks training.
A few of the lads visited the famous Green Shutters Cafe and popped in
for their breakfast before heading back to the pitch.
They were fortunate to meet some of the local veteran breakfast club members
who were also in enjoying some delicious breakfast, scones and banter. They
had a great morning at the Green Shutter Tearoom in Largs with 12 veterans
attending plus a brief photo op with Port Vale FC lads who were up in Scotland
on a weeks training. Members said,
“It was lovely to meet such well mannered and respectful young lads. We
wish them all the very best for the season.” Largs Veteran Breakfast Club
meet every Tuesday morning at the Green Shutters Cafe in Largs between
10am and 12 noon. All are welcome!
March AFVBC
March AFVBC enjoyed their first outing to the National Arboretum
at Alrewas recently, and it just so happened that it was their
oldest members birthday, Mr Harold Noor 93 yrs young!
The club arranged a surprise treat for him, a birthday cake and
lot’s of cards. The restaurant granted them permission to have
there own cake and the club members were delighted with the
exceptional service from the staff, who even treated Harold to a
complimentary birthday whiskey, his favoured tipple.
Harold thoroughly enjoyed his special birthday saying: “It’s been
the bestest birthday ever.”
