Wow, our first follower who is actually a member of the club! Might be some incentive to start tweeting again. It's @Dean_the_Madden, btw! #
Well, our first apart from the obvious, of course. #

The 'A' team are busy coming out on the wrong side of a lot of close matches tonight. It's what they do best. #iBad #

End of Season Celebration

James — Wed, 30 Mar 2011 21:32:42 +0000

With Phil’s successes at the tournament (mystery mixed and doubles handicap), two teams promoted and one team scabbily missing demotion, we have got some things to celebrate as the season recedes into memory.

Rebecca has organised a simple, yet nourishing, night out for us.

Friday 8th April

Meet at Superbowl in Morecambe Prom. The 3 lanes booked 6.30 – 7.30
(I can book more if extra people want to play)
Meal at Babar Elephant (Indian)
on Morecambe Road 8pm

All welcome including partners!

Sorry, meant to post these ages ago – I took a few snaps around the table at the meal we had at The Dalton Rooms – You may be able to recognize some of the people through the filters applied to the pictures, you may not…

Go look at the set on Flickr.

Here’s a nice one of Keith to whet your appetite, wish it wasn’t so blurry, it’d be a cracker…

Xmas Meal 2010

James — Thu, 21 Oct 2010 19:03:21 +0000

Sorry to mention XMAS when it’s only October, but, social committee débutante Rebecca has only gone and booked the Xmas meal. This year’s venue is The Dalton Rooms in Lancaster, with a very tasty looking set menu of 4 courses for a remarkably austere £20.

When: Thursday, 2nd December, 7pm

Where: The Dalton Rooms, Lancaster (I just said that already)

How Much: £20 per person

Who: Club Members, partners (i.e. ~~sexual~~ life partners, not badminton partners), friends of the club

Usual rules apply. We need a deposit of £10 per person to secure your place. Places are limited, obviously, so it’s first come first served.

You can email your interest and menu choices to ku.oc.notnimdab-emlohsirrotnull@yraterces or to ku.oc.notnimdab-emlohsirrotnull@kcorBaccebeR – all monies to Rebecca or James or via team captains (if your captain is one of the ones we can trust).

Menu – Also, click here. Ignore the price on their website, it’s £20…

Had a cool W/E, Yorkshire House last night was ace and then the trip to Liverpool today with Toby. Lack of sleep a small price to do both. #
It occurred to me when I was sat in the museum cafe with Toby that we could easily be giving the impression that it was my access day. #
It was quite unusual for us to be out for a day alone. V and William had stayed home because William had a party he'd been invited to. #

About 4 things today made me cross or frustrated, but the luxury of being able to be so angry at such trivia makes me feel glad to be alive. #
1) George "life isn't fair for you, but it's simple for me" Osborne. #
2) Being unable to find my work pass, then later finding it in a secret pocket. #
3) Someone nicking my parking spot. Ooh, how very dare they!? #
4) Losing a game at iBad that I really, really should not have done. #
5) iTunes stealing my music consumption capabilities, the prospect of having to fix it, and not having the time tonight… #
I drove home tonight with a big grin on my face. What a pathetic idiot. F*****g parking space? iTunes? Get a grip. It's great to be alive. #
George Osborne, though, that is worth getting angry about. #
Right, I'll leave you alone now. Off for a beer and then bed. Don't have angry nightmares. #
