In 2009 the North Berks Football League will achieve its Centenary.  To celebrate this landmark the Council of the Competition intends to commemorate the milestone with various activities and functions.

 

A preliminary and provisional list of events is shown below:

All Clubs are encouraged to forward similar details of their history (to Ian Brown )of their history, however short, to enable a comprehensive collection of information to be chronicled.
