Put the date above in your diary, tell your loved ones that they are welcome to spectate and come to the Wick for Club Day.
During 1865 just after the 14th pavillion was built for the Wick, the first ever club day was held. As everyone who is familiar with the late Victorian era will tell you, young boys were often dressed as girls by their parents to toughen them up in later life.
Here the 1s help David Bartle Wilson's great great great grandfather to prepare the teas. Sadly the old pavillion did not have gas or electricity, so the boys were forced to run the hard boiled eggs from the local Indian restaurant, The Grumpy Sepoy.
This year, luckily, club day will be a much less torturous affair for the participants. There will be a six a side tournament and any number of fast food / barbecue food options. The six a side tournament starts at 11am. Please tell Fudgey if you are planning to come along because he is organising.
