End of Season '07

Just found the results of last years end of season celebration - framed on my wall! Nah, not really, but courtesy of the Lanes here's how the bowling ended up:

143 - Aaron
134 - Spencer
132 - Jules
128 - Nick G
124 - Robin
107 - Nick W
103 - Jason
100 - Gman (I've got a big bowl and I'm not afraid to use it')
99 - Ben H
93 - Ben B
91 - Patrick
81 - Lloyd
80 - Joe (headband for the rest of the night - nice).

A close correlation to goals scored I notice ...

Now I missed the go karting, but I hear Ben H came last by a long, long way - and was even beaten by 2 Stallions without a license and who have never driven. 'Ohhh Dad!".

So some thoughts to this year's end of season - hopefully we get at least 1 more game in - got to make a race out of the golden boot for a start!

Some suggestions have included: paintball, Phoneix game, laser strike, more bowling and go karting, mass hysteria, bbq, stallion tattoos, pimping Ben's ride etc etc. Throw suggestions this way. I kinda like the idea someone suggested of hiring out an indoor court for a couple of hours and releasing some football skills and high elbows on each other before going drinking. Obviously all events come with plenty of drinking. We got to celebrate a good season.

One other byproduct of the rain is that our fines have halted, so we don't have as much cash as we anticipated. And so few of you f**kers have paid up - so we need a decent collect.

Give it some thought ...

I think the go carting and ten pin bowling went really well last time....some scores could be settled if we did them again...I could try cracking 100 in the lanes and i could hop in to any other kart than the donkey i had the misfortune to get in to last time. However the idea of taking each other on in football is also an irrestible proposition...when have any of us ever played against each other...some scores could REALLY be settled if we did this...slight logistical issue with being sweaty and needing a change of clothes though.

I know I shouldn't be honest but those scores were actually only from the first game of ten pin. We then split into top half and bottom half for the second game. Unfortunately I managed to finish last in the game of the hopeless bowlers (by 1 pin from Joe) and therefore qualified to keep the pony over winter...

I'm always keen for paintballing but the karting was great last year as well. I'd prefer to be able to walk during summer so if we play indoor I'd like to be on the same team as Mike (assuming that would make a difference anyway).

I say something different from last season. Paintball/laser strike, indoor, cheap whores, all sounds good. As long as Ben gets humiliated.

Yeah conveniently left out the second game Aaron, I'm pretty sure I won it so I'll see if I can find the score card.

I have had what I think is a brilliant brainwave too - lawn bowls as our end of year:
cheap piss,
competition,
don't get sweaty, and
cheap piss.

Thoughts?

Great idea Nick - where? I'm sure there will still be sweat (and tears).

And I won both games of bowling ...

Also I think we need to include a visit to our sponsors on that day too, especially if we can get more sponsorship from them for next season.

I could probably arrange Khandallah Bowling Club as I arranged a first team end of season bash there a couple of years ago and two of my mates at work are the bar manager and President there....

Well, the closer to town the better and I've played up at the Mt Vic bowling club before which is just before the bus tunnel.

And I'm sure it won't be too hard to book a couple of greens/ends (whatever you call them).

It's only a phone call to find out anyway so hopefully we play football this weekend and can get a concensus from everyone.

Yep, goes without saying Jamie. perhaps a pregame few hours in the B&B - might make the bowling more interesting!
