Aldergrove's AA Bantam Rep team headed off to Finland on Boxing Day 1987. We'd love to hear some of the player's memories of the Finnair International Tournament, if anyone would like to share... like maybe my cousin Jamie 😉 =)

Today we're paying homage to a lovely Bradner lady, Mrs. Charlotte Fatkin, who was born on this day in 1883. She passed away on 14 March 1983 at the age of 100 years, 2 months, 1 week and 2 days.

Aldergrove & community news from 80 years ago - retirements, business changes, soldiers coming home from the war, agricultural advancements, news from some of the neighbourhoods and films at the theatres in Langley & White Rock. Aldergrove was still 11 years away from having its own newspaper and 4 years away from the opening of the Grove Theatre.
