Club Celebrates 100 years
Town Crier opened the celebrations
What a splendid centenary launch it was, bathed in the warm glow of the shining sun! The day commenced with Melksham Town Crier ringing her bell to herald the start of a momentous occasion.
The grand flag-raising ceremony, a symbol of pride and unity that set the tone for the festivities to come. Following this proud moment, the entire club gathered for a historic team photograph, displaying our new club colours and capturing the essence of a century’s worth of memories and achievements.
As noon approached, appetites were whetted with a hearty lunch and amidst the clinking of glasses and laughter, friendships were strengthened and bonds forged over shared meals and fond reminiscences.
But the highlight of the day was undoubtedly the friendly game, where banter and rivalry took center stage. With each playful exchange and competitive challenge, the spirit of camaraderie thrived, reminding all present of the joy that comes from friendly competition.
As the sun began to dip below the horizon, signaling the end of a memorable day, the moment arrived to cut the magnificent centenary cake. With pride and reverence, the club toasted to its rich history and promising future, savoring the sweetness of the occasion.
Many thanks to all those who helped with the preparations for the launch; arranging Town Crier, ordering flag and bunting contacting the press, organising the food and lastly the members who looked magnificent in the new shirts. A great start to a special year.
