Mark Twain wrote The Celebrated Jumping Frog Of Calaveras County
or
Kenneth Graham wrote Wind In The Willows, toad/frog and I am certain the toad was shot.

One Russian writer wrote book about an amphibian man who might have been shot as well.

He came from the Halifax area and died a good few years back quite young...

What is so special for us about Nascot?

 

[Jsybarry]

Nascot is one of the forerunners of the teams that merged to form WFC. Yorkie, if you are going to say that they became Watford St. Mary's, then from reading the Centenary book, there was a 3 year gap between Nascot folding and the first mention of Watford St. Mary's.

What does Cae Fardre, Church Village have to do with a rugby first?

 

[hornethologist a.k.a. theo]

I googled the answer but I'll save it for a bit in case anyone knows this without looking it up.

 

[yorkshirehornet]

erm.... difficult.... anything to do with the mast that was burned down in 2004.... First mast burned down when a wales match was on tv?

 

[Jsybarry]

Yorkie, no it's not. As you've probably guessed with the World Cup on at the moment, it relates to Union rather than League.
