Should be a rather fun time :) looking forward to seeing a few familiar faces and having a bit of fun (Oh and taking it down)
-
Raven for the win !!!
Or get too pissed to care ;D

I am going to have to make a late change to the team for Travellers Rest. Tracy Mooney can"t make it and so is being replaced by Neil Cooke. Tracy has already paid vai 888.com and Neil was just planning on giving her the £50. Is there anything else that needs to be done regarding this change.
Looking forward to this, and looking forward to seeing the lads from Hetton and Sean"s Nelly"s Heroes (shown as Lord Nelson Pub) again. Any team that is planning to outdrink the Hetton lads (and lass) had better be able to handle their drink. ;D
