Yes I know :-)

We only need 3 tops could probably get away with two.

If anybody is not a member please use this link to join online, it"s free that way. I think it is free anyway but best just join up in advance anyway.

happy to pitch and putt, also would be interested in ten pin bowling

[AAroddersAA]

I am really bad at ten pin bowling (or I was the once I played it anyway). Will give it a go though

[hi_am_chris]

Def should of been a few of us enter every event with a points system for where you finished in each one  

[josharp01]

Defo interested in tenpin bowling, possibly pitch and putt depending on when too..

Spoke to the Minature Golf Association of GB, who recommended the following places:

Coalville is 26 miles from Nottingham, so I don"t think we"ll bother with that.

and

15 miles away, and rumoured to have shut down lol...



Right, so I think we"re pitch and putting instead!... More info to follow sooooon.

I think I"ll probably have to withdraw from the synchronised drowning Matt.

I assumed I"d have forgotten about my head by now, but it is still tender and feels weird to the touch. Still strange things going on back there, though I have no idea what, cos I can"t see. I"ll have to get Debjani to take a look.

Anyway, based on my experience in the inaugural drowning championship last year, I know that when you crash, you don"t have much control over what goes where and I don"t think I am ready for even a soft bump on the back of my head just yet.

If you decide to include an egg-and-spoon race in your sports extravaganza, I"m your man.

He got bashed outside the casino in Luton - it seems he must have upset someone during the course of the evening"s poker.  The culprit is not yet identified, but the shortlist is narrowed down to just under a thousand

[nosey-p]

Please take my name of all lists, thanks

[AAroddersAA]

Do we have dates yet?

I think we should hold the pool on the Friday myself as t is likely to be the quieter day at Rileys. I will post up a list of people who are in the draw today or tomorrow to confirm.

[hi_am_chris]

Can we not have pool sat, sun or Monday as would have thought quite a few people would travel down fri morning? Not sure the vast majority of people will be there thurs?

[Matt D]

Pingpong can either be on Sat 30th or Sun 31st (they are closed Friday, so can"t hold it then).

Cost is £70 for 2.5 hours hire, which should be enough time if we run to the same format as our last event.

We"re looking at 10am > 12.30pm. So which day would be best? I"m inclined to go for Sunday AM...

[Jon MW]

Sunday sounds good to me

Where"s the venue?
