Pat managed to attract the attention of a few French players .. including former captain Fabien Pelous... and the Sale Sharks player ... Sebastian Chabal.

The Celtic Crusader’s Rugby League Club: [ 26th August 2007 ]

Pat & Adrian were guests of the Celtic Crusaders at the last home game of the season; a victorious game for the Crusaders who comfortably beat Gatehead Thunderers... to set themselves up for promotion to Division 1.

The match was also an occasion for the raffle draw for the car donated by Nathaniel Cars (Bridgend). At half time in the game , Pat was invited to draw the winning ticket. Where-as at most raffle draws, the winner is not present, on this occasion , the winner was sitting in the grandstand a few rows behind us, Mr Ray Philips ( from the Rhondda )

The Crusaders have now clinched the title and promotion, by virtue of close rivals Featherstone being beaten at Barrow, and their own decisive victory away at Gateshead. CONGRATULATIONS ... to JOHN DIXON & the TEAM !

Charity Day; Rolls of Monmouth Golf Club. [ 22nd August 2007 ]

A very pleasant evening was spent at the former home of the Rolls family at Monmouth, where Pat & Adrian were guests at the Charity day Dinner, hosted by the Club Captain (Graham Holder) & his wife.

Some 75 golfers had taken part in an excellent day of golf, with the proceeds of the golf, the dinner, and subsequent raffles + auction being presented to the Joshua Foundation.

After a splendid meal, Adrian made a short presentation on the work of the Foundation, prior to the raffle + auction. The total collection is likely to exceed £3000; the cheque will be presented at a later date at the TJF offices in Cardiff.
