The contribution of Joe has not been confined to tonight's arrangements; as many of you will know Paul Jones has been co-ordinating our activities, in partnership with the Twinning Association, to bring over 150 young people from Hennef, Germany to Banbury to participate in the "Friendship in Football" Tournament which will take place at the Spencer Stadium over the weekend of the 29th/30th July next. On the following day our friends will be at The Ricoh Arena where they will be given a conducted tour of the facilities." _____________________________________________________________
