Access to the annual reunion is by way of a ticket which has to be applied for from the Shrewsbury office only and shown to the security staff as the entrance to the stadium car park.
The application form comes out around late February and a copy of the form will be added to this web page for those that do not have it sent to them. All the details required are on the form and everything must go through the Shrewsbury office, around mid to late May the tickets will be posted to you.
Due to increasing costs and a reunion fund that is ever decreasing a ticket charge has now been introduced to help secure it's long term future, which we should all get behind.

To further assist with the funding of the event a Prize Draw has been set up which has been very succesful to date, but it will need your continued support whether you can or cannot attend the event please.
Full details of the Prize Draw and the event itself can be found below along with all updates and news as we receive them from the LI Reunion Coordinator.
