Over 70's tournament

Senior Soccer is booming!  

40 years ago the over 70's Senior Soccer league played their first senior game, which was then for the over 35's. They played at Will Rogers State Park in the Palisades, and Rod Stewart played, and so did one or more of his Faces band. Many of the original players have stuck together and recently 28 of them have formed 2 teams of over 75’s for the world championship trophy. There are 7 teams of over 70's who play regularly in the Palm Springs midweek tournament. They are planning to have more than 70 events, in the Coachella Valley, all mid-week, and would like to spread the word to anybody interesting in playing Senior Soccer. The local paper “the Desert Sun" published front-page photos and about 1 page of text inside. If you search "alive and kicking", senior soccer games on the papers web site then you can read the article and view a movie as well of the guys in action. So please send this email to someone who you think might be interested in staying alive, and kicking for 1 year More information from Mike Mackenzie 661 809 654   mackenzie@seniorsoccerschedule.com

From Cricket pad to notepad it's just a short stroke away for Stephen Speak,

Who has put down his bat (only temporarily thank goodness) and taken up the quill to penned his latest book Catch. Everybody loves a good fishing story. Catch has ten sort fishing stories that are as reflective as they are memorable. In vivid, unforgettable detail these stories recount the emotional, spiritual and tangible adventures of stalking fish all over the world. From the infamous Snake River in rural Idaho, to the sub-tropical mangroves of Queensland, Australia the stories convey a rich Variety of backdrops –
not to mention a colorful canvas of characters along the way.

If you would like a copy of this young mans from Bolton book Catch. Pease go to http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/3151776
