From correspondence it appears that in 1946 the Club were offering lo buy out H. Nelson' entire stock of six pairs of rugby boots (sizes 7, 8 and 9). The Club begged four old balls from Manchester University. Pies appeared, even then, to be the main post-match fodder.

On one Saturday in November 1945, W.F. Mason's pies had gone down so well the previous week that four dozen were ordered. The alterations made by the Army to the pavilion and the consequent use of the Army's ablution block made changing and bathing facilities a trifle primitive. From memory, ten old, soiled and generally abused household baths provided the entire bathing system for two, and later, four sides.

On 23rd. September 1949, The Club's 50th, Anniversary was celebrated with a Dinner at The Reunion Club in Heaton Moor. A galaxy of rugby personalities from all over the country attended. However, in spite of the many difficulties and with much hard work of a few really devoted members the whole Club moved forward.  In 1949/50 Stuart MacDonald Captained the team prior to leaving with his brother Peter to join Sale. There was quite a family connection here with his father and uncles having played for the Club prior to World War I, The six victories of 1946/47 increased to nineteen under Geoff Sykes in 1950/51 and out of the twenty-nine games played, a further three were drawn. Important players like Steve Pape, a scrum-half from South Wales and Duncan McLean, who in 1946 won two caps for Scotland, joined an influx of new members who came to the Club from Burnage High School.

These members were followed by a large number of medical students from Manchester University - Norman Shaw, Brian Chant, John Garland and Peter Morris to mention a few.

In 1952 Fred Jagger died, after serving as President in continuity from 1934. In the following year, a further blow befell the administration with the death of Bill Dixon who had first been Honorary Secretary as far back as 1930. The Club appointed Reg Hall as President and, along with people of the calibre of Ian McKay, Jim Marsh, Ian Sinclair, Ken Jones and Alf Bullivant, progress was maintained.

Reg Hall had returned to the Club from Preston Grasshoppers and during the post-war years took on a tremendous workload in various capacities for the Club. If a job needed doing, down even to the marking out of the pitches, Reg was willing to do it. His name became synonymous with the Club and even in the local press and Lancashire circles he was known as "Mr Heaton Moor". He was his own man and many are the young players or older officials who suffered from his tongue, but his contribution to the Club cannot be underestimated.
