If the Cowfolk are doing it, this is where it’s at…
Eddie Hapgood
A few years ago the Easton Cowboys helped sponsor a plaque to commemorate the Arsenal and England footballer, Eddie Hapgood who was born in Barton Hill. The plaque which was designed by Mike Baker of Living Easton (and which carries the Cowboys name as a major sponsor) has been moved due to building work and will be unveiled again on *Friday 21st August 2009 at the rear of the Sovereign Housing block on Barrow Road, Barton Hill at 4.00pm*. It would be great if a few Cowboys (especially you gooners) could make it down to celebrate this local working class hero.
Mugging Meeting
There is a meeting tomorrow (Wed 5th) at Easton Community Centre, 7.30, regarding the recent spate of muggings. Cops and councillors will be there, but there will also be people arguing for a united community response rather than CCTV and bobbies on the beat.

Work Group
At the meeting it was suggested that the group could
- work on the wording of the club constitution,
- outline content of an induction pack/booklet for new and existing members
- consider how we monitor use of the message board
- provide a point of contact for any issues linked to the values and ethos of the club to be taken to.
The group will bring their suggestions to the next Bi annual General Meeting for the club to vote on. The next BGM will be held in late September. The first meeting of the working group will be held on Monday 24th August 7.30 – 9pm at Hawks Gym. Each team needs to put forward 2 people to attend. Any questions / problems contact Jess at jessorlik@hotmail.com
Brasil Tour Write Up
Will writes thus –
It’s now two months since most of us returned, but time musn’t pass without a mention of the Brazil tour in the Peashooter. Seventeen (or was it eighteen?) Cowboys and Cowgirls made out to Sao Paulo, a motley crew that featured representatives from most parts of the club. Most of us stayed for two weeks, although some more adventurous Cowfolk made a longer holiday of it.
The football? Well, our opponents were often superior in terms of touch and control. They were, after all, Brazilian. But they didn’t have it all their own way. A Cowboys team were runners up in a 5-a-side tournament that was held as part of a straight edge festival we attended, we won our beach match with the Rio punks on the Copacabana and we emerged victorious in our final 11-a-side game, against a team of ageing Communists called Red Machine.
