Congratulations to Sir Dicky Evans who received the honour in the recent New Years List. Well deserved. A great man and a Pirates legend.
Dicky Speaks:-
"It was with the utmost surprise that I received a call from the British High Commissioner for Kenya, Neil Wigan, a few weeks ago telling me that I was invited to accept a knighthood from His Majesty King Charles in his New Year’s Honours list for my services to business, sport and charity in Kenya and Cornwall. I couldn’t have been more surprised or more honoured. It was not until now that I have been able to share this news with you. It is impossible to thank everyone individually for the help that they have given me over the years, in life, business, sport and charity. This honour is simply recognition of everyone’s efforts over decades, without which none of my ventures would have succeeded." More on his website at https://livetobe100yearsold.com |

Superb news. Though (in jest) I would point out that this means that Trailfinders and Pirates have real Knights, while Doncaster does not ;)

Should we build a round table? Congratulations to Sir Richard. Very well deserved for a lifetime of service to many great causes.

At least the King appreciates what happens in the Championship.

Broken down. Beyond repair.

I suspect the King as with other awards had very little say in the matter!
