1963 Club granted a licence to sell Excisable Liqueur.
In 1904 The committee voted, on the casting vote of the President, to register for an Excisable Liqueur Licence. Unfortunately due to a misunderstanding by the secretary ( he tried to register for match days only ), this registration was never made and it wasn't until 1963 ( yes 1963 ) that the club was granted a Licence to sell Excisable Liquor.
