OLD ALBANIANS
THE TEAMS
Looking to the future, the loan has first to be repaid and then we hope to build tennis courts and squash courts until Beech Bottom is the true home of all the associated clubs of the Old Albanian Sports Association.
It has taken over twenty years to progress from the two ex-army huts. erected by a group of enthusiasts to our present palatial brick building, and our thanks must go out to all who have contributed in the gradual progress and improvements at Beech Bottom over this period.
The Rugby Football Union has loaned ÂŁ2000 to enable us to complete the present changing rooms which would not otherwise have been possible for several years to come. Mr Ramsay is further associated with the O1d Albanian Club with whom our various sports clubs have had very happy associations over the years.
When the Sports Association bought Beech Bottom in 1927. the Rugby Football Union supplied four fifths of the capital required, a debt that was not finally repaid in full until the Second World War.
We are very proud and honoured to welcome Mr. W. C. Ramsay today to open our pavilion. He was President of the Rugby Football Union for the season 1954-55 and has been Treasurer of that body for the past ten years. It is true to say that without his and his predecessors help, the Sports Association and Beech Bottom would not be in its present healthy position.
