ALL OUR YESTERDAYS : 2012/13
We’ve come a very long way as a football club in a relatively short time, and none who were fortunate to be here at the start of our most recent, amazing journey will forget season 2012/13, the season of our Great Escape. This lighthearted look-back, using images I created at the time, comes from our programme of 7th May 2013, when we played at home to third placed Cove FC in our last game of the season, needing a point to be sure of staying in the CCL Premier. Needless to say, we got the point with a 0-0 draw and some incredible defending. The spirit of Hartley Wintney Football Club lies in all the players, coaching staff and supporters who’ve been involved since the club was formed. But surely the spirit was never brighter than during our Great Escape. [ KOB ]
Flight Lieutenant Ashley Lloyd was reported downed by a grenade in the last escape mission codenamed ‘Camberley’ a week ago. Latest des- patches report him to be re- covering back in Blighty, hav- ing blagged his way to a local hospital before managing to get himself home. He suffered a dislocation and leg fracture. Excellent work F.L. Lloyd, con- gratulations on a successful escape and we wish you all the best and expect to see you on parade sometime during the next campaign.
Wing Commander Ben Dillon is reported to be comfortable follow- ing a series of escapes master- minded by himself and fellow Com- manders Minton and Lawler, de- spite heavy pres- sure from the Camp Comman- dant, Herr Mullen. Although on re- stricted rations (he was too big to get through the tunnel at the start of the conflict), Commander Dillon is now leading from the front during missions. We wish him luck during the remainder of the campaign.

RECALLING OUR GREAT ESCAPE
