AWAY DAYS
Hopefully by now most of us have had our first covid vaccination, and together with the way the figures are going maybe the light at the end of the tunnel is getting brighter. Due to the corona virus pandemic members may recall we had to cancel our Spring 2020 trip to Skegness, twice. Yet again your Senior Blades committee have had to cancel the trip, which had been booked for the 20th May. Sue Foster our Excursions Officer has now rebooked the trip for Thursday 16th September 2021. We will of course, have a close eye on the situation and will keep everyone informed as we get nearer the proposed date.
SUPER DRAW
Once again a number of Senior Blades have won prizes in the Super Draw in the last few months. For just £1.00 a week members have the chance to win hundreds of prizes throughout the year.

CONNIE HOYLAND
We are sad to report that Connie passed away recently in February. Our sincere condolences to Tommy and all her friends and family.
OLLIE NORWOOD
Unfortunately due to the corona virus pandemic we have not been able to meet up with our sponsored player Ollie Norwood at any of our lunches. The Sheffield United Commercial Department has arranged for all sponsored players to do a message for the sponsors, you can see Ollie’s message to Senior Blades at www.seniorblades.co.uk
