This Friday, 11th March, sees the return of our popular Retro Gulls event at Plainmoor, with the Club’s community-based initiative continuing to focus on promoting health & wellbeing in the over-50s.
Taking place in Boots & Laces on Friday 11th March between 2-4pm, our latest event will see former United stars Dave Rudge and Paul Trollope taking to the stage to answer questions from the group regarding their time with the Club, before pitting their wits against the group in what promises to be another keenly-fought and wide-ranging quiz.
After joining the Club from Hereford United, former Aston Villa midfielder Rudge went on to make 71 appearances for the club in all competitions, scoring four goals during the 1970s, whilst fellow midfield man Trollope graced Plainmoor two decades later, scoring 17 goals in 132 appearances after arriving from Swindon Town, before moving on to Derby County.
United Club Chaplains Jordan Williams and Tim Smith will be our guest speakers to tell us a bit more about their roles at Plainmoor, as well as being on hand to answer any questions posed to them by.
Retro Gulls events are provided by the Club free of charge for all United supporters aged 50 or over. Although booking is not essential, to reserve your space, please email [email protected] or phone 01803 328666 (Monday-Friday 10am-2pm)
About Retro Gulls
With the health and wellbeing in residents aged 50 and over widely recognised as another important aspect of community care within Torbay, supporters aged 50 and over will be invited to attend events in Boots & Laces once a month, with United stars present and past due to be in attendance for each meeting.
The Club will be focused on all things Torquay United, and will provide the opportunity to get Torquay talking. These events will give our ‘Retro Gulls’ the chance to discuss the current team, and those of yesteryear, with both fellow supporters and United stars past and present.
The events will vary each month, with future activities set to include fitness sessions, skittles, programme swap-shops, quizzes, bingo, workshops and much more!
Dates for the next two events are as follows:
- Friday April 1st 2pm-4pm
- Thursday May 12th 2pm-4pm
