For bowling, if you fancy playing, just turn up on the day.

For pingpong, we"ve had a slew of last minute dropouts (10 in total...), meaning we"re down to just 12 players.

So, if anyone wants to play pingpong, please post on this thread and I"ll add you to the list. We could do with 16 > 20 players in total for this to be a fun event.

Hi matt, I think Antony Wolsey (team Poland) will be up for it if you want to ask him? He will prob be getting dragged along either way

[hi_am_chris]

Btw i have a laptop , xbox 360 controls and fifa 12, fifa tournament anyone?

[Matt D]

Nice one Chris. Will catch you at some point tomorrow.

Quick bump for anyone interested in bowling tomorrow. If you fancy playing, just turn up! (11am at the bowling place directly opposite DTD)

Looks like about 6 or 7 of us so far.

The bowlers that took part today were:

1. Matt D
2. Jo S (Team GB)
3. Mary M
4. Ian M
5. Andrew C

"twas a fun game. Thanks to Jo for suggesting

Final scores:
1. Matt D = 145
2. Andrew C = 142
3. Mary M = 120
4. Ian M = 120
5. Jo S (Team GB) = 104

I then suffered the ignominy of turning up to DTD still wearing bowling shoes  

[Matt D]

At the time of writing there are currently 8 spaces (Eight!!) for Pingpong. If you"re interested, post on this thread, come and say hello to me at the update desk, or grab me when I"m doing an update round!

[Matt D]

Final bump for tomorrow!

We now have 13 players for the pingpong, so 7 spaces left .... or 3 spaces left if we play with 16 like last time...

Any late entries, let me know-o!

I note the lack of thanks for me letting you all beat me so as not to make you all feel inadequate!  Matt I think a rematch at a centre of my choosing is definitely a must!!!

Oh and....the general consensus yesterday was we all preferred you in the bowling shoes!!
