Saints fans may be disappointed to hear the black, green and gold painted Robin Reliant 'sin-bin' is no longer in the club's possession but has a new home at HFS Timber located within Harlestone Firs. At Saints' director of rugby Budge Pountney's recent testimonial dinner, HFS managing director Silas Wilde out-bid other guests in the auction to secure the car for his company. Encouraged by his fellow guests, Silas secured the team-autographed three-wheeler which now has pride of place at their timber yard within the woods. Reflecting on the moment, Silas said "Ticket for dinner, £80; bar bill, £160; Robin Reliant, £4,000; informing the wife, priceless! However, that said, everyone at HFS is proud to support Budge and his charitable organisations and we wish him and the Saints every success in the future." The purchase is also appropriate as new HFS General Manager, Simon Foale, is also an ex-Saints player. Having joined the company in January, Simon is developing local business opportunities and building the retail division. HFS Timber supply high quality timber, which can be cut specifically to requirements, for trade or domestic customers. Fencing is the most popular product with a large range of styles available from stock. To complement this portfolio, HFS also manufacture a wide range of entrance and drive gates with optional automation, as well as trellis, pergolas and garden furniture. These products can be purchased in standard width sizes or a made-to-measure service is available. "All Saints fans are welcome to come and shop with us or just come and see the car at its new home." HFS Timber is just off the A428 between New Duston and Harlestone, opposite Wyevale Garden Centre. Please drive up through the woods into the yard, which is signposted. |
