On Saturday 25th April, the Rugby League Collectors Federation will be holding a programme fair in the Black Bull on Knowsley Road in St Helens.
It starts at 10. 30, admission is free and all rugby league fans are welcome.
On show to look at or buy will be a large collection of programmes (recent, old and very old), DVDs, badges, photographs, magazines, books, novels, collectors cards and other items of interest to most rugby league fans.
At 12.30 there will be an auction of over 100 lots. They include programmes for three Widnes games:
1909 at Huddersfield
1911 v Australia
1939 v Dewsbury
also
1908 Huddersfield v Merthyr Tydfil
1910 Northern Union News

Also on display, but not in the auction, will be the Rugby League Challenge Cup. For the price of a donation to the Steve Prescott Foundation you can have your photograph taken alongside it but please bring your own camera.
[b]Visit //www.geofflee.net for details of my novels 'One Winter', 'One Spring', 'One Summer' 'One Autumn' 'Two Seasons'. and "Three Good Years" All six feature Rugby League against a humourous Lancashire/Yorkshire background and are inspired by the old saying about work: "They could write a book about this place. It would be a best seller."[/b]
