Team Management has been an important ingredient for success of the Club with the late Col Pulford (late fifties early sixties) being represented by son Terry and grandson Todd on the evening. The late and great Alan Muir will be represented by his entire family.
Representing Stan Mason – one of the co-founders of the Club – will be his great great grandson Jack Carrol-Tape – a playing member of the Tigers Under 18 Grade Rising Stars team.
There will be many more in attendance of which should be a fantastic occasion for the oldest club in the League. Many Members of the Tigers 100 Club LEGENDS team will be in attendance and awarded due recognition by way of an individual plaque.
A DVD covering the history of the Tigers will conclude the evening. MC for the 90 Year Dinner will be Paul Walshe – face of the Tigers 100 Club Dinners.
