Notes:

‘On 9 November Ashbrooke Sports Club will be holding a ceremony of re-dedication for its century old and recently refurbished rugby grandstand. The stand will be re-named ‘The Last Stand’ and dedicated mainly to those who fell in conflict and also to others no longer with us who contributed to sporting life at Ashbrooke as rugby players. Many of these were also involved in cricket, tennis, hockey, squash and athletics at the club. As well as providing better facilities for spectators, the refurbished stand has been adapted to include much needed storage space for equipment used for training and on match days’.
