Chester-le-Street Rugby Club is calling on past players and members to help it celebrate its silver anniversary.

The club plans to mark its 25th season with a dinner at Durham County Cricket Club's Riverside ground, Chester-le-Street, on Friday, April 15.

Guests of honour will be founder members Bill Chapman and Jack Burns and the speaker will be former British Lion Steve Bainbridge.

The club plans to have a memorabilia area at the event so people can look at old photographs, press cuttings and videos.

Tickets cost £40 - including a commemorative tie. To book, leave a message on the answerphone on 0191-387 1995.
