The Shippers meeting on the 23rd January 08 @ The Shipley Club featured Willy Topp and David Baldwin from the BCFC Commercial Department..

.A good night was had by all as Willy and David answered questions put to them by the Shippers membership.
It's just as well David speaks Spanish as Willy or Billy as he prefers was quite puzzled at times.
So were we as he told us his great love was Man Utd and his favourite player was Ronaldo.
However he was a great hit with the Shippers who are now official sponsors of his boots.

A quite word as David Baldwin explains a point to Joe..
