Last chance to grab an Anniversary Book for Christmas!

8/11/2019

With Christmas approaching and a big day at ORFC tomorrow we will have the 50th Anniversary Books on sale all day.

There are only a few books left, so if you know someone who would like one as a Christmas, Birthday or Anniversary gift you can get one at the Club tomorrow.

The Orcadian Bookshop will also be selling any remaining copies of the Club’s 50th Anniversary Book if you can’t get into town tomorrow.

Each book covers the full history of the club as well as all the match facts and statistics throughout its history, and there is an abundance of photos of all the Club’s teams from its inception until the end of last season.

A book only costs £25 and each purchase makes a good contribution to the Club’s funds.

In addition, two signed books will be raffled tomorrow and, while quite a few raffle tickets have already been sold, more will be on sale at tomorrow’s games so you can buy tickets to get a chance of securing one of these special edition books. The draw will be made after the meals and speeches tomorrow.

If you can’t make it to the Club tomorrow and would like to reserve a book call or text Ian Carse on 878339 or O7415 680706 and leave your contact details. You can also reserve a book by sending Ian an email.

Help your Club, Buy a Book, and give someone a wonderful present!!
