Jimmy Mac book launch tickets

Last updated : 09 October 2009 By Dave Thomas
Tickets are available from Bob Lord Reception (but not on match days), or via Dave Thomas on 0113 2555350, or 07961 846636.

It would help enormously if tickets were sold as tables of ten, with one person acting as 'collector' and contact. But this should in no way not stop anyone who wants to come on their own or in smaller groups from ordering tickets.

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 a table of signed Jimmy Mac memorabilia on sale including some quite desirable items.

The raffles 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

We hope that some of Jimmy's former 59/60 team will accept invitations to attend.

I have obtained a copy of Burnley Are Back to show. The highlights for us OAPs are the Jimmy Mac interview and the shots of him ball-juggling at Turf Moor. Many an eye went moist with nostalgia when we saw that particular clip. And we are also trying to obtain a copy of SKY's Time of Our Lives which on September 21st will feature Jimmy, Alex Elder and John Connelly with Jeff Stelling.

Order forms for the book are being sent out to anyone on the mailing list. Pre-publication price is £17.95 as opposed to £19.95. This biography is a large format A4 magazine size book of 280 pages. If you want your name to be added please EMAIL Dave Thomas or phone the above numbers.

The auction for signed Jimmy Mac programmes on the MB and the current top bid is £150. This too is in support of the CM Youth Fund. Click HERE for auction thread.

Jimmy sends his thanks to all at Clarets Mad for their support.
