This year is the 65th anniversary of the founding of Mumbles Rangers and it seems an opportune time to look back on the history of the club.
In 1990 the club published ’One Man’s Dream’, the story of Mumbles Rangers Boys’ Club. In this years newsletter we have précised the first forty years from the book and added the past twenty-five years bringing the history of the club up-to-date.
The newsletter has a print run of 1000 and is distributed to every Vice President, Player, Parent, and Coach within the club each receiving their own personal copy. If you require additional copies then please ask. Enjoy reading and if you have any Mumbles Rangers memories, memorabilia or photographs from the past that you wish to share please let us know as we would very much like to add them to our archive.
