Jack a resident of Whitland is a former Ironman, a Current Player and Past Captain of Whitland RFC and has strong family ties with the town he says “ I have a strong affinity for Whitland town and am impressed with the quality of the calendars. They will make great presents, and so much work has gone into their production”.
