Meurig (Mike) Jones, Caersws
Whatever it took, he was there, supporting club and country.  A more committed clubman you couldn't wish to enrol. From the return of quoits to Montgomeryshire in the early 1970s, until ill-health forced his retirement twenty years later, you could find Meurig, or Mike as he was more affectionately known (Michael to his friends north of the border), participating in whatever way was required.  Pictures of Mike Jones with his club, Caersws, singles and league competitions, lasting friendships and a spot of sillyness along the way.

Larkhall & Raploch success 1925
Bill Kirkland shows the gold pocket watch won by his grandfather William Kirkland who was part of the winning side from Larkhall& Raploch of the Lanarkshire league in Scotland which won the Scottish&Lanarkshire cups in 1925.
