Sunday 7th June 2009
The annual Northern Reunion of British Professional Wrestlers was held at the Labour Club in Ellesmere Port, Cheshire, on Sunday 7th June 2009.
With Bob Bell's efforts concentrated on recovering from his recent stroke, his wife Jean, with the help of Buddy Ward & Terry and Monty Swann, organised this year's event. Bob and Jean were keen to thank the Ellesmere Port Hospital Stroke Unit, whose funds were boosted by the donation of the proceeds from the raffle. Monty once again played his part, providing another excellent curry to complement the cold buffet for guests who had travelled from far and wide. The unfortunate mix-up which had resulted in another "Northern Reunion" being held on the same day meant that the attendance was down on last year, but a good time was had by all, culminating in an unanimous vote to continue at the same venue next year.
Here are a few photographs taken on the day. Please email the identities of any wrestlers not named in the captions. Apologies to those concerned!
