ImageAfter a lapse of several years the Annual Club Dinner was revived in 1963 and was held, with great success, for three consecutive years at the Cafe Royal in Manchester. On each occasion the Club were privileged to have top guests from the Rugby Football Union. In 1963 Sir Lawrie Edwards, a Vice-President of the R.F.U. was the Guest of Honour, he was followed in 1964 by Mr W. C. Ramsay, Honorary Treasurer, then in 1965 by Robin Prescott, Secretary.

During Easter 1963 the Club went on tour for the first time since the 1930s with a visit to Glasgow. In October 1963, Lancashire staged their final County Trial at Green Lane and a month earlier the Club had been honoured by having Ian Stewart, who was just embarking on two years of captaincy, Roger Markland and Malcolm Oliver selected to play for the Lancashire Presidents XV in a game at Broughton Park.

During 1964/65 negotiations were concluded with Stockport Corporation for the making-up and paving of Green Lane, in return for a small amount of the Club's frontage. Those who did not know Green Lane before this improvement cannot possibly imagine how bad the approach to the Club had been prior to this improvement, the coach for away games left from the Chapel House Hotel.

Schoolmaster Phil Thomas was the First XV captain in 1965/66 and enjoyed a very successful season, winning 22 of the 33 games played. A double over Davenport, now named Stockport, and a highly enjoyable Easter Tour to the Republic of Ireland were the highlights of the playing season. At this time the Club ran six regular teams and on occasions a Seventh XV. On the social side, Sir Augustus Walker, President of the R.F.U., was Guest of Honour at the Club Dinner which was held at The Engineers' Club, Manchester, and a very successful Ladies Evening Dinner Dance was held at Lancashire County Cricket Club, Old Trafford. Noel Atkinson was in his first of two years as Secretary and Arthur Firth was in the middle of a three year run as Treasurer. Arthur had been a hard-tackling First XV wing-forward in the early 1960s.

Ian Nixon, a former Manchester University scrum-half, captained the Club in 1966/67 when the first team won twenty-five and drew one of their thirty-four games. The side included winger Roger Markland who in the 57-0 defeat of Bowdon, scored thirty-six points (6 tries, 6 conversions and 2 penalty goals).
There were a considerable number of changes in dub officials for the 1967/68 season. Roger Davies (Secretary) and Robin Smith (Treasurer) both started three-year periods in office and Roger Taylor became the First. XV Captain. An Easter Tour, centred on Bristol, was a tremendous success with three wins in three games and the team finished the season with the creditable record of seventeen wins and two draws out of thirty-six games played. Colin Beer took over the captaincy the following season when the team finished with an almost identical record of seventeen wins and a draw out of thirty-five games played. Colin was a former England Schoolboy International winger who joined the Club from 6 am staple in 1964 and played for Moor at centre, fly-half and lull-back during his distinguished career. The Vice-Captain to Colin Beer in 1968/69 was David Hall, the son of Reg Hall. David was a hard-working back-row forward and a regular first team player for several seasons.

When Roger Goodier took over the captaincy in 1969/70 he became Moor's sixth captain in as many seasons. He was joined by former skipper Ted Whiteside as the Club's first official roach. The team won twelve and drew lour of the thirty-eight games. During the Season Roger introduced the very successful 'Player of the Year' and Geoff Costello became a very worthy first winner of this prestigious award. Unfortunately, Ted Whiteside left the area at the end of the season. He had made a valuable contribution during his years at the Club where his other official positions had included a spell as Team Secretary. In 1970/71 Roger Goodier provided some continuity by becoming the first player in ten years to captain the Club in successive seasons and John Knighton took over as player/coach. They enjoyed a very successful season only losing fifteen of the forty-one games played with twenty-one wins and five draws.
