Deano heads for home!

Dean Morley will be making a return visit to the UK for the British Open. Kebab shops and pubs in Birmingham have been warned!

Morley
 

Former Grimethorpe Bb tuba player Dean Morley will be boarding the Quantas big metal bird on Friday evening to return to the UK
from his new home in Brisbane.

Grimey return

Dean will be joining his old comrades at Grimethorpe to assist them in their attempt to add the British Open Crown to their illustrious trophy cabinet.

Grimethorpes Band Manager Terry Webster refused to comment on Deans request for the usual £1.00 per mile petrol allowance, although he may get a discount on a kebab and a pint of Boddingtons4BR

Long distance

Dean was acustomed to commuting long distances to play for Grimethorpe in the past but this certainly tops anything he has experienced in the past.

Grimethorpes Band Manager Terry Webster refused to comment on Deans request for the usual £1.00 per mile petrol allowance, although he may get a discount on a kebab and a pint of Boddingtons.
