Next World Series game

It's an away match against the Wednesday Boys, at the Bell. Wednesday Dec 5rd, 2012.

Remember... this is an early (8pm) start!


Turnaround

Wednesday, Oct 3rd, The Plough and Harrow, Bridge...

The Wednesday Boys came full of hope at clawing their way back in the series. Indeed, ater tieing the first leg, they then had a hat-trick of 4-2 victories, giving them a 6 game lead. Then came their downfall... lunch. The Pot Boys work best after a good lunch and proved it by a complete whitewash, wiping out the Wedneday Boys' entire lead. It all came down to the last leg - and indeed the final two games, as it was tied at 2-all, then the Pot Boys won game 5 and it was down to the final game to decide whether the match was a draw. At the end it was "Notch one more up to Pot Boys".

The Wednesday Boys did have one consolation, Roger won the high score whip with a hand of 24.

Thank you to Tony and John for organising it and to Ranulf and his staff at The Bell for good service and good food.

Rest in Peace, Jim

The saddest news that could hit the Guild - the passing of our "President", Jim, on 21st June, 2005.
Jim was cremated at Barham Crematorium on 30th June with 14 guild members in attendance. Afterwards, at the Plough and Harrow a Big Board game was held in his honour, with his grandson, also called James, leading the President's team to victory.

Underwater Cribbage

Yes, that's right! 4 intrepid pot boys - Dave, Viv, Peter M and Mark - led by Dave are going to play Cribbage in scuba gear at the bottom of the swimming pool in Shornecliffe.
We want to raise lots of money for charity (Macmillan cancer relief) doing this, so if any pot boys have ideas for sponsors or publicity, let's hear them. We'll be using special magnetic playing cards supplied by Spirit Games

-- First Practice--
The first underwater session was held in the swimming spool at Dover on 8th February and thanks to the expert training and guidance of Dave, none of us drowned.

-- Second Practice--
A second session in Dover resulted in an actual game being played, with Peter and Dave winning (just).
