Mayor of Manchester visits the Wildcats
Thursday, November 27th, 2008
We were really pleased to hear that the lord mayor of Manchester, Mavis Smitheman would be coming along to see us in action at our club, the YMCA, but we were a bit worried that our new t-shirts wouldnt arrive in time for the visit!
A group of twelve young wrestlers aged between six and seventeen performed wrestling techniques and gymnastic skills they have been learning under the guidance of coaches Bill Cooper, Tommy Roche and Dave Penkethman.
The lord Mayor was then presented with an engraved trophy by two of the clubs youngest wrestlers, who then, with the rest of the youngsters heard about the Mayor’s own pastimes….. parachute jumping and weight lifting!
