It’s around this time of the year we start thinking about those less fortunate than ourselves. The last few years we’ve collected donations for the homeless and the local food bank and the response has been breathtaking, thank you.

The majority of our members are children and as an adult, the thought of a child waking up without a gift on Christmas Day is hard to comprehend. With this in mind, we have decided to collect donations for the Halton Christmas Toy Appeal. This organisation not only helps local groups such as the food bank and women’s refuge but also helps individuals and families within our community.

We would like to ask all our members who are able, to donate a brand new toy or gift for a child of ages from birth upto 18 years of age, girls and boys. We intend to collect all donations on SATURDAY 4TH DECEMBER at the Hornet’s Nest between 10am to 6pm.

If you would like to donate but unable to make that date, please speak to Anne Marie Yates or Sharon McLean who will be happy to arrange a collection.

We are confident given the response to previous appeals that you will once again amaze us in your kindness and generosity.
Many thanks.

Ian Yates joined the club back in 1985 which was then Halton Hornets. Ian has held various roles, coach, club Chairman, and for many years until recently Club secretary.

He was ‘an’ instrumental member in the merger with Farnworth Ring ‘O’ Bells forming what is now Halton Farnworth Hornets.Ian was also the recipient of the clubs highest award the President trophy for his services and hard work for the club.

During his time at Halton Farnworth Hornets, Ian has seen so many players turn professional from the club and in reference to his comments in the 25th anniversary celebrations. “Never underestimate the name you are representing, to coaches, parents and players stay loyal and committed to the colours”

Ian’s workload as secretary doubled with an increase in registered teams, now at 24!

Ian has done so much for the club and although his role will be changing, passing the secretarial role to Paul Martin. Ian will continue to assist the club as Club Administration working along side Paul and the rest of the Executive team.
