I looked up the flight details last night and the minimum price is coming out at £58 return, more likely (i.e. friendlier flight times) coming out at £112. For that, I figure it's gonna be better to drive it.

Might take a look nearer the time to see if there's any last-minute discounts, or maybe if enough are interested we could look at a group booking. I'm a bit wary about chartering our own plane as that's what the rugby team did in Alive and I'm not crashing on Dartmoor and resulting to eating Smurf. Plus I have visions of Smurf starting the cannabalism before the plane develops any problems...

How have we transpired to lose that game eh?

Open goals, own goals, shots cleared off the line and agonising Gazza-in-Euro-'96-Semi-finals moments. Still, cracking cup match, and we played some pretty nice football at times.

Who have we got this weekend? And are we gonna get a plane to Newquay then?

Sounds good. Bad time to be asking for cold hard cash though Mr Smurf but I'll see what I can do.

To add to the things to look forward to list - I have received a letter from a club we played a couple of seasons ago in the Berks and Bucks - beat them 4-0 or something and they didn't have a shot on goal (I was in goal). Lewis scored a goal of the season contender (maybe winner?) in the first 5 seconds. Scouse nutter was the ref.

Anyway, they're holding a 6-a-side tournament one weekend in the summer - it's only £25 to enter a team. Figured if the dates are good we might be able to enter a team or maybe even two?

I'll bring the letter along on Sunday and show it to you Gaffer.

Right you lovely boys:
Good news we are provisionally booked in the Newquay Reef Surf Lodge on 16th June for 2 nights.
Bad News i need to send off full payments £30. The sooner the better.

Man I ache. The first 10 minutes were scary - not good for a 32 year old to be running around with a chest as tight as that unless that chest belongs to an 18yr old blonde.

Strangely felt better for the last half hour - then the last 20 seconds were possibly the funniest 20 seconds I've known for a long time.

Great fun. You just don't get that at other clubs.

I'll let you know Hilly that i had to turn Tango down last week cos i got a raise at Wonka's, a packet of smarties and a chocolate teapot!!!!! Coming from a caveman like you i take it as a compliment, oh and here's a little something to help you at the weekend,

Offside; occupying a position on the field where the ball is not allowed

Fighting talk Grundy? I know for a fact that Willy Wonka wouldn't allow any violence in his establishment, you would become an orange faced outcast and you would be hard pushed to find work elsewhere except perhaps down t' mines where you would be just a shadow of your former self mistaken for a black midget.

£20 Per Person Half Day

They cater for stag Hen and group parties as well as individuals and they run buses to other beaches as well as using Fistral Beach

Seems most people i have heard from at the moment are for up for this date,we will go on the fiday(Times people leave depending on work committments)and return on the Sunday.We normally get back around 4ish on the Sunday.
Not sure of deposit situation at moment think Shane said first nights pay,so it will be £15 deposit.
This is the last weekend you can book up to stay nightly,after that you have to book full Weeks.It was an OK place we stayed and in a pretty good location so the sooner i get the yes's from people the sooner i can book and make sure we get the accomodation.
We can sort the surfing out once we have a roof over our heads.
Spread the word to people who dont have access to blogger then we can get it sorted.

So, is that confirmed...? Sounds good to me.

ohhh Hilly, thats fightin talk from where i'm from.
I know the one thing to put you off your balance anyway...............

OFFSIDE!!!!!

UNOFFICIAL STATEMENT/QUESTION:

Smurfy do you need all the readies up front or just a deposit? Oh yeah and Grundy forgot to ask do Oompa Loompa's get a half price discount as they're only half a person?

I shall be there, ready to wow the local ladies with my surfing skills in the daytime and disco skills in the evening. Might get a little more sleep on the Friday night this year so that I'm not falling asleep in the pub before we go surfing.

Mebbe try and book a different surf school this year too - not cos they were crap but because it'd be nice not to have the mile-long hike with a surf board to and from the beach and across a fucking golf course...

Finally, might try and leave the club/pub/wherever each night on my own as there's less chance of getting into a fight or kissing a man.

Count me in Smurf, how many nights do you normally go for? and is the plan to go on the friday?

OFFICIAL SHEFFORD FC STATEMENT:...

The date i have in mind for Newquay 2006 is Friday June 16th.This is staying at the same place as last year at £15 per head per night.
This is the last weekend available on a nightly basis before September so the weather should be pretty decent and the world cup on large screens.
Let me know asap so i can book loads in advance to make sure we get in.

Thank you Statto. Not sure if I'm looking forward to training tonight or not. Obviously enjoy training but have enjoyed all the food and beer that Christmas can bring and missed about the last 4 trainings before as well so I may suffer and vomit and stuff...

Happy New Year Lads...... and lewis.
Caversham town only just managed to beat Henwick 4-3 in a previuos round of the Berks and Bucks. Average results as well, played 7, won 3. lost 4. Concede a few goals as well, so lets hope we can pull off another good cup result on sunday!!!!!

Good Luck Boys in your post christmas/new year run in to the title!!

Hope you all had a good christmas and new year and matt got a good pair of new boots from shedta and his reindeer!

Have a good second half to the season!

Training on this week?

Happy New Year n all that
