The View From The Weekend
30/10/2010
The Saturday A beat Evergreen 2-1 in the Downs League.
The Saturday B Team took a bit of a thrashing in the 2nd Round of the GFA Minor Cup, losing to Hambrook Res 0-8.
The Suburbans beat Tytherington Rocks Res 1-0 (Away). Obviously Tytherington does not rock that much.

KIPTIK
The KIPTIK Day of the Dead event at The Plough was a great success and was absolutely rammed. Bad luck if you turned up and were unable to get in but the pub was full from shortly after 10pm. They managed to raise nearly 1300 of your English pounds, which in real money is nearly half a small water system, breaking all records for fund raisers at The Plough. Well done to Zoey, Quiffey, Ru, Will et al for organising it and thanks to everybody that turned up and had a great time. Thanks also the bands, DJs and everybody who helped out on the night.
The highlight of the night was of course Rosie forcing Kaz to pay £4 on the door to get back into his own pub.

This is a lovely story of hope, ambition and hard work. It could be the story behind the many African footballers who delight crowds each weekend. Bandian is an 8 year old football fan in an African village. He realises he will have to work 750 days to pay for a proper leather football and despairs. When a doctor brings him one, the village kids paint it gold. Will Bandian make it to Europe?

It is that time of year when supermarkets are reminding us that Christmas is coming. So I thank Tescos for nudging me into thinking about our CACK theatre trip.
I would like to suggest that we go to THE TOBACCO FACTORY in Southville to see PINOCCHIO ON SUNDAY 12TH DECEMBER 2010 AT 2.30PM.
If we can book before 1st November we will: a] get tickets; and b] get a really good deal.
I am happy to make a group booking for you if you can let me know by TUESDAY OCTOBER 26TH 7PM.
To give you an idea of the “early bird ” deal they are offering- it would be £30 for a family of 4 [2 adults,2 children or 1 adult ,3 children] For further prices please look at the Tobacco Factory website.
So I look forward to hearing from you before 26th with numbers.
Please email me at :nickitownsend@rocketmail.com

Christmas Party
The Festive season will soon be upon us, time for the Xmas Party!
This year it will be on Friday 17th December, 8pm onwards in our beloved Plough. The theme is ‘The Office Christmas Party’ – 80s style – so think power dressing, fat bellies, bad suits, cigars, brick sized cell phones, the office letch, the office tart, the office gossip, the office agony aunt/uncle etc!
We’ll have Muff Said and Who’s Afear’d, we got Paul Moylan plus the legendary Simon Denny on a special visit, we’ll have 80s karaoke and Santa’s Grotto (guess who’s gonna be Santa?!). There will be a stationary cupboard and it will be the responsibility of ALL staff to make sure that it is used (in)appropriately!!
Shots WILL be administered on arrival….
It’s gonna be huge – put it in your diaries and pump up your shoulder pads…
Results
Next week from Monday to Wednesday Easton will be graced by the presence of Nico from The Lunatics and his beard.
