Is the Past Better? : Sun Nov 25, 2012 6:31 pm  

Huddersfield RLFC [Giants] are putting together a Rugby League Heritage Project based on the club and the town. It will come to fruition in 2014 to celebrate: 1. 150 since the club's formation; 2. 100 years since the Team Of All Talents; 3. 100 years since Albert Rosenfeld's 80 tries in 1 season - still a world record rugby try-scoring feat; 4. 100 years since the start of WW1 [note, we are 'marking' the start of WW1, not celebrating it]. We have a website - www.HuddersfielRLHeritage.co.uk. If anyone has anything they would like to contribute [or know of anyone who might], please contact me. Hope you enjoy some of the online items. My favourite is the 1881-2 Fixture Card, it is 6" x 2.25" fully open. Closely followed by the 1895 booklet.

I'm pretty sure he'll have meant 'mark', rather than 'celebrate' in the context of WWI.

I don't know, you try and share something with the wider RL 'family' which might be of interest and 'people' turn politically correct.

I'm sure the vast majority knew what I meant.

It just seemed a bit ' random ' lumped in with the RL stuff , no great problem
