Tom on cue for 100th birthday

TOM Darlington celebrated his 100th birthday in style with a game of snooker down at his local British Legion Club.
Tom, who was joined by family and friends at Stockton Heath Royal British Legion, still enjoys a weekly game of snooker at the club where he has been a member for 30 years.
In recognition of his special occasion Tom, from Grappenhall, was presented with a special long service award by Eric Williamson, the County Chairman of Cheshire Royal British Legion.
A widower for more than 20 years Tom was joined at the event by his two daughters Christine and Elizabeth.
He didn’t see active service as he had a reserved occupation as a cost clerk at Fletcher Russells. He later became an accounts manager at a local newspaper.
As well as snooker he still enjoys dancing.
The secret to his long years is “keeping active” and enjoying his snooker!
