Martins' Sporting Life

Sep 1.jpg

At long last we begin the monumental task of representing the sporting activities of Martins Staff.  The sports features in Martins Bank Magazine are the big opportunity for staff who have taken part to be shown “in action” – and a flick through ANY copy of the magazine quickly shows the sporting prowess of those who go to extremes to be helpful.  It will probably take years to do justice to the numerous Bank and Inter-Bank teams that run, jump, swim, bat and participate in just about every sport known to man, so the plan is to gradually build up a menu that eventually does full justice to Martins’ sporting Life…

London and Manchester meet one another…
