SPECIAL VISITOR FROM HOLLAND
Last Saturday's final game of the season against Fulham, allowed the branch to play host to a special visitor who is in Manchester on work experience from Amsterdam. Frank Koningen, travelled with us to witness our last bizzare home game, Frank had already been across to Goodison park during his stay, however he was really looking forward to visiting COMS.
There are some photo's on the gallery page of the day, and below is a meesage from Fank who kindly emailed us on Sunday.
Craig,
First of all. Thank you very much for this day. It was not only the match but everything was great. From the pub to the stadium and back in the pub. A day that I won't forget. 
First something about me.
I'm Frank 20 years old. I live in Hoofddorp. That's 5 miles from Amsterdam. My football club that I support is Ajax. My course is Finance. In our education we have some training periods. Some people can do some experience in a foreign country. I was placed by Crowne Plaza Manchester Airport. I have a training period of 8 weeks. I stay by a host family in Hazel Grove.
Saturday 26th.
11.15 started the day in the pub where I meet Nigel. Craig had bring me to the other pub. Were I came in the "citizens people". What a nice people. I came alone and comeback with a lot new friends. Great! Then the reason why I came. The match between Manchester City and Fulham. What a beautifull stadiam! Almost the Amsterdam Arena! The match was good only the result was a little bit disapointed. Back at the pub we took some pints before I went to the restaurant with 2 families. It was a a very nice day and will thank all of you!
Thank you very much! Frank.
CHARITY WALK
St Annes Hospice are currently organising a Manchester Midnight Walk at the moment, which will take place at the City of Manchester Stadium and I wondered whether any branch members would like to take part.
The Midnight Walk will be one of their biggest fundraising events of the year and takes place on Friday 23rd May at midnight, leaving from the City of Manchester Stadium on a 10km route around the city centre and finishing again back at the stadium. We are very excited for a great event and are hoping a few celebs will join us too.
I’ve attached a flyer giving more information and our website address is http://www.manchestermidnightwalk.org.uk/
please email Craig at craig@hazelgroveblues.co.uk and maybe we can put in a group application.
