"Thank You" isn't enough. I'm simply overwhelmed.

Yesterday I received a package from Shaun Drinkwater that made my eyes fill with tears. Richard kept handing me tissues as I explored the contents and read the message enclosed.

On another thread I had made a comment regarding arriving back in the States with no items from Haven. Not a photo, a program, simply nothing and laughed that our friends here probably doubted the Club's existence.

Shaun Drinkwater and William Rudd did something so kind, so thoughtful, that my eyes are getting misty again. My surprise package yesterday consisted of a Cumbria shirt and Calvert hoody from Mr. Rudd and a Haven PNG top, two scarves, a hat with pin and TWO photographs, including one of the incredible "Marras on Tour" immediately following the news of our safety in the Championship last year from Mr. Drinkwater.

The PNG Shirt and two photographs will be framed and mounted this week ready to be displayed in our home with place of pride.

It was the Fans and Supporters who created my enthusiasm and commitment to WRLFC2010. My belief remains that the Club exists solely due to its incredible followers and long before I learned what a prop was I knew what a powerful and positive force those who came through the gates were to the Club's future....

...but to do something like this? I can't stop being a teary eyed silly woman who knows she is truly blessed.

Very nice thing you have done there Shaun
