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.

1925
