Below is an e-mail message to Paul Franklin and the Club from Mike Cavanagh
Paul,
Thanks and the very best to you and your family over the festive season.
I don't know if I have already mentioned to you but I have now moved to Bangkok - have joined a rugby
club which regales in the name of Old Bangkok Bangers RFC.
I was back in the UK a few weeks ago so was able to attend Terry's funeral which I was pleased
about. Let's hope we don't lose too many more old friends next year - 2006 has not been a good one for us.
Anyway all the best for the new year - I will be keeping this e-mail going while i am in Thailand so
please continue to use it as a means of keeping me in touch with what is going at Eastleigh. Also, keep sending me the newsletters
as I will get them through the mail re-direct.
best wishes,
Mike Cavanagh

Happy 30th Birthday on 5 April 2008 to Andy Browning on the day he helped win the Hampshire Plate
for ERFC.

Macca for England !!
The Club hereby deny any knowledge of the rumour that Mike McNeish has been called into the Six Nations squad by Brian
Ashton. Although Macca pocessess all the skill, speed and height to be the next England fly half, he has issued a statement
saying he wishes to remain on the subs bench at Eastleigh RFC. I’m
sure this will come as quite a relief…..at the England camp.

Paul I
do appreciate your updates although I don't get to the club as often as I would like I an going to the Ireland
game with my son so will not be able to join the luncheon do but thanks for the invite On a sad note I don't
know if you can remember Steve Buckley who used to play for us in the back row for a couple of years and who I still know
through the local squash club. Anyway he died on Tuesday just 53 following a 3 year battle with cancer. Keep
up the good work and hope all goes well for the team on 24 th Kind Regards Bob (Robert Carkeet)
All at ERFC,
Thanks for keeping me informed about things down there in the sunny south. I recently attended
the wedding of a good friends daughter only to find that the groom, one Andrew Browning, is a member at ERFC...does the girl
know what she's let herself in for ??
Regards, Roy Wolfe, Life VP, Oxfordshire.

Message
from Martin Roberts
Dear Paul
Please pass on my heartiest congragulations to Eastleigh Rugby Club on their fine success this
season. It's pleasing to know that the Club is doing really well, I only wish I was nearer so I could be a part of it.
I'm leaving the Navy next month and so am currently looking for employment to keep up this lifestyle. I have remarried a couple
of years ago and have a little one year called Carys to keep Morgan [ now 9 ] company. Well done again and give my regards
to the old crew.
Yours Martin Roberts

e-mail to BRT from ex-player Bill Brook now living in Australia.
G/Day Brian,
Have just recieved the Hant's Chronical and what a lovely surprise to see the champs in the top spot. Should have been on
the front page though. Congratulations from Dot and I to you and the whole club for a most splendid effort . You problably
don't realise what a thrill it is for us to see the club going so well. We often talk about the older days especialy down
in the Dungeon. We ( Dot ) were having a clearout just yesterday and my old moth eaten shirt came out in the light of day
, the holes stared to blink in the light so we put it back in the cupboard for another year or two, What memories we have.
I see ken is still with you, please give him and those that remember us our fondest regards. Keep up the good work and Kindest
regards from us both. Dot and Bill Brook
Letter to Club Chairman from our local MP
Chris Huhne writes " This is just a note to say congratulations, and sorry again for being unable
to call in as I had hoped during the reception on Saturday. I would also like you to pass on my congratulations to the team
for a famous victory in the Hampshire Plate, which is both very good news for local rugby and for the town. You mentioned
on the phone that there would be other opportunities at a lunch ahead of a match next season for us to meet up, and I would
very much like that. Congratulations on a great success.
With best wishes ..."
