Update on Bunny Beston

After his stroke six weeks ago Bunny is still in hospital but is showing signs of improvement. His wife Yvonne has said that the stroke does not appear to have impaired brain function. His speech is back to normal and swallowing is also restored. He still needs physio to restore movement in his left arm and left leg and will now be going to progress to rehab.

Nanny Smith's Deli

The club would like to thank local business Nanny Smith’s Deli for becoming the new supplier of the Vets food on a Saturday and Sunday, and we thank Saturday Vets manager Ben Tomkins for brokering the deal.

To date, Rose has supplied ‘Platters of Joy’ for the Vets home team and their opponents. And very well they have gone down indeed with compliments from all away teams every week, along with the Guild Vets players.

Nanny Smiths Deli are also Club sponsors, who proudly support our Under 12 Mustangs junior side.
