David Ford the popular and much collected Saddleworth water colourist sat in the middle of the Watersheddings pitch over 10 years ago, just days before the place was demolished, and made a sketch of the old Hutchins Stand and "penny or threepenny rush" (depending on your age.)  He recently came across the sketch and decided to do an original watercolour titled "Sunset over Watersheddings" for this year's Doctor Kershaw's calendar.  David's calendars, featuring his original watercolours, have been a major fund raiser for Dr Kershaw’s over the last few years raising tens of thousands of pounds. When David heard of the Roughyeds official endorsement of Dr Kershaw’s as their charity he decided to offer the club signed limited edition prints of "Sunset over Watersheddings".  Receipts from the sale will go to the club.

Unframed signed limited edition prints are £20 each & framed, double mounted signed limited edition prints £60.

Nigel Marland has bought the original and agreed that it can be used for limited edition prints for this Christmas.  Orders can be made at the club offices on Lansdowne Rd, Chadderton, 0161 628 3677 with cheques made out to ORLFC.  Please state whether you want the framed or unframed version.  The limited edition will depend on the number ordered and will be signed by David Ford in person with 1/ ? by the side depending on the number of orders. It would be appreciated if orders are in before end of November to facilitate delivery for Christmas.

Surely a brilliant Christmas present for any Roughyed fan?
