hoppy added 16:43 - Jun 16 As well as those mentioned above, Liz Edwards and the Supporters club were also very involved in arranging the Legends evening with Matt Holland and Terry Butcher, held over at Ram Meadow, along with the Legends match, raising money for the My WiSH Charity's Forget-Me-Not Dementia Campaign. It's good that this work has been recognised in this way. Well done Liz and all involved. https://www.itfc.co.uk/news/2017/april/town-legends-match-proves-a-success/
