  Here is a selection of photographs of various eras of Widnes RUFC. They have been provided by club members old and new. We welcome any additions, if you have any photos of interest. They can be e-mailed to me at Geoff@widnesrufc.co.uk (in .jpg or .Gif formats, please) or leave them at the club in an envelope addressed to Geoff Council, and I will scan them and return them to you.
