Jimmy Mac book launch Oct 23rd

Last updated : 19 October 2009 By Tony Scholes
A small number of tickets are available from the publisher Hudson & Pearson on 01706 210582.

If you are in a group of ten or twelve the tables will be allocated and numbered.

The price of £5, the lowest possible price, includes free prints of Jimmy, pie and peas and birthday cake. Jimmy's birthday is on the 25th.

Books will be on sale and will be available for collection if they are pre-ordered.

There will be signed Jimmy Mac memorabilia on sale including some quite desirable items. Prices range from single figures to the quite expensive. It is unlikely that we can accept credit cards on the night.

There will be a 'free' raffle and the main raffle will be in support of the Clarets Mad Youth Foundation and again some of the prizes will be Jimmy Mac memorabilia.

The evening is hosted by Jeff Brown and music will be provided by the Powder Jazz Trio. Will you all please learn the words to When Irish Eyes are Smiling and Happy Birthday dear Jimmy…

Several of Jimmy's former colleagues at BFC have accepted invitations to attend.

This will not be an evening of speech-making but we do hope to find one or two supporters we can make a fuss of, for example 93 years old Mrs Gladys Woodall who stlll has a season ticket in the Bob Lord Stand. We are especially looking for anyone with a birthday or an anniversary. Please get in touch.

Once again Jimmy sends his thanks to everyone for their support and particular thanks go to Burnley Football Supporter' Club for sponsoring the evening.
