Date - 25th July 1998
Theme -
"The Great Escape".
We chose 9 main characters from the film for the 9 pubs.
Ausweisse invite which 'permitted' participation in this years
event. 9 lucky participants were also cast as a relevant character from the film.
Highlights
An incredible turn out of 65+. A true Owen goal to blow
away the recent Beckham/Argie World Cup hangover.
There was a good showing from all quarters and many newcomers. Ex Brighton 'Nutley' boys
and N block girls appeared. Even an Enfield Elder made the long trip down.
