Hi Derek, just saw your part on the blogg, is that right.
Very interested about your report on my forthcoming book. ‘The Flight of a Magpie’. It will be launched on the 28th of April in Waterford city in the Granville Hotel at 8.00pm.
The legendary former captain Bob Moncur is coming form Newcastle for the launch.
Do I know you or your family backround, or where did you live in waterford.
Keep in touch

Billy,
I’m not sure if we ever met. But its possible, as my best friend in Waterford since school days is your fellow Newcastle supporter Kevin Daly.
Best of luck with the launch, I’m afraid I won’t be able to get there but I’m sure it’ll be a great night
cheers.
Derek

Derek,
Your article re Darren Lockyer’s Roma visit has been added to the RLCM News. Please feel free to continue advising RLCM.
I was out there in ’94 to see him play, unfortunately he was away with the State U14s or 15s [?]. But we had a good time with Peter Flynn. We are printing the Zone 4 Schoolboy programme for next weekend being held on the Gold Coast, which Ray Bruton is involved with, maybe another Lockyer might be found.
Regards
Gary Roberts
