Supporters' Football AFC Wimbledon Feb 18th

The supporters match against AFC Wimbledon has been confirmed for Saturday Feb 18th at Kings Meadow. Later in the day the Dons are playing Morecambe so why not stay to watch that game? Please get in touch with Chris Tembey for details football@carlislelondonbranch.org

Thanks to John Stevenson MP

16 members attended a branch meeting in the Houses of Parliament last Thursday and then had a very enjoyable chat over drinks on the terrace with Carlisle MP John Stevenson last Thursday. A hearty thanks to John from all that attended and from all in the branch for kindly donating a prize for the Shine The Light raffle.

Thanks to Dave Walters and Hastings United

Branch member Dave Walters is chairman of Hastings United in the Rymans Premier League and on Saturday 7 members travelled to Hastings to watch their match against Billericay as Dave's guests. We had a cracking day out and received a warm welcome by everyone there. It felt strange to be drinking a pint while watching the game. Afterwards we visited a local Indian restaurant and heard the inside story from Dave of the trails and tribulations of keeping a lower league side running successfully. A big thank you to Dave and all at Hastings FC and we can highly recommend a day out there for any member in travelling distance. www.hastingsunitedfc.co.uk

Brentford Moved to Monday 20th February 19.45

The Brentford game will now be screened on Sky and has been moved to 7.45pm on Monday 20th February. For this reason the event with Steve Soley planned for after the game will now be cancelled. We are hoping to rearrange this for next season.
