Thanks Quins : Sun Mar 15, 2009 9:26 am  

Hi all
My family organised a surprise birthday present for my mum at the Wire game yesterday. We hired a box and managed to keep the whole thing a secret until the day.
My mum and I were met at the turnstyle by Buck and Dusty with a card and balloons, amusingly she thought this was because they knew it was her birthday because we’re season ticket holders and didn’t know the rest of our family were down from the north until we’d sat down in our usual seats.
The people who organised everything from the club’s end did an excellent job, we got everything we asked for, we even got specific players to give her a signed shirt after the match (Louie claimed they’d fixed the scoreline especially).
Most of our family, although living in Yorkshire and Lancashire, had never really seen RL before, we couldn’t have got a better first time experience if we’d tried. Tony Clubb’s tackle near the end was quite a talking point after the match.
In short, just wanted to let everyone on here know Quins did us proud yesterday, in every possible way.
Cheers
Simon

Glad it all went well.
This is another example of the club moving in the right direction and getting it right.

We’ve been planning it for several months and they were very helpful from the first mention of it. Things that could have potentially made life slightly more complicated, like fixing an exact time for our arrival to fit in with Buck and Dusty preparing for their absale were just all in a days work.
When you go to the Stoop with a load of people who’ve never been before, you appreciate how those little extra things, like the absale, really adds to the over all experience. Usually we’re more concerned with making sure we know what the team is (I could get used to being given a teamsheet before the match though).
