London Hibs Burns Night - 31st January 2004

held at The Freemasons Arms, Covent Garden

Update 10/3/04 - just in - a letter of thanks from our guests -

On behalf of the recently formed Hibernian Former Players Association I would like to thank the members of London Hibs for the wonderful hospitality shown to the four ex-Hibs players who attended the recent Burns Supper in the Capital. Even although they had been made well  aware of what to expect by several other players who have attended the event over the years, the level of generosity exceeded expectation, and all were agreed that it was a quite wonderful weekend. There will no doubt be a great demand for invites next year. Keep up the good work on behalf of the Hibees.

Wishing the boys well on Sunday.  Glory  Glory.........

Tom Wright    HFPA Secretary.
