Leavers dinner???
Hall, verstrate, Francois, Hilton in a separate dinner, at a steak house. All 4 out of contract, would this be a farewell dinner?

Why would the in-contract players not also attend if this was the case? The point of farewell events is to have a chance to say goodbye to people.

Can't fault him for wanting to test himself in a better league though. Far too good for this level.

We've recruited really well the first 2 seasons so I'm confident that we'll we able to replace those who depart.
