The Try Reading project is now underway. This Wednesday (4th September) is the first day of an exhibition in Leeds Central Library which explains the Rugby League World Cup's rich and fascinating history.
Then on Friday 13th September Tony Collins will be there between 1 and 2.30 providing an insight into how the game started in Leeds.
There are plenty other events organised right across the North of England. See the details on the Try Reading website.

For those of you who have never heard the good professor in action, he is well worth seeing / hearing and his stories of how rugby league got started are very interesting ...

Then on Tuesday 17th September between 6.30 and 8, Jamie Jones-Buchannan and Richard Mathers will be in Leeds Central Library along with reporters Phil Caplan, Peter Smith and Tony Hannan for what promisers to be a very lively discussion.
Details of how to get a ticket are on the Try Reading web site.

Agree with the above - Tony Collins is an excellent orator.
