Thanks to supergrass Fraz, I have photographic evidence of Dean wearing his team shirt in Marbella on a Sunday night. I believe a fine is in order...

Nice away win against the Daydreamers!
18 down most of the game... 8 down going into the last leg... won by 8... don't they know who we are?
Bob did the team proud with 2 consecutive spares in his 63 and Fraz with 61 (No spare. Again) done good but Sooz (Called up to play at 6pm. Again) notched up an 11 spare half way down the last leg to give us the cushion to win the game!

Fraz says...
After deliberating over a pint after the game in the Boars, I have decided that Dam has to go to the (just above Dean) bottom of pecking order. And I am still the best player in the world.

Good team effort to beat joint-top team Nobblers at home. Finally got to hear an overdue "Stanley Ovation"...
Se-e-ecret Tour news: Dates are now Sat 5th - Tue 8th June 2010. Tour leader Reg is booking flights and paying deposits in the next few days... Now, does anybody not know what they're doing on 5th June next year?
Other news: Dam is going to get a lottery syndicate going... treasurer needs to check if we can pay Camelot via DD from the building society account...
From the treasurer: In an unprecedented action, Dan has paid 2x £10 clubmemberships in advance! So, starting next week, any £10 non-playing fines incurred will incurr an additional £1 per game interest fine for every subsequent game that the fine is not paid. That is to say: if you miss any games, you must pay £10 for each missed game at the next game for which you are available, else you will incurr a £1 fine for each unpaid £10 for every subsequent game while the £10(s) is(are) unpaid... All clear?

AGM took place last night at the Boars, meeting opened at 8pm. In attendance were Pete, Reg and Chloe.
Election of Officers: Director of Skittles - Pete (proposed by Reg, seconded by Chloe). Captain - Reg (proposed by Pete, seconded by Chloe). Bottom of Pecking Order - Dean (proposed by Reg, seconded by Reg). No players were promoted to the Hall of Fame.
The following were agreed:
No new signings for the forthcoming season as Rake is moving from part to full-time status.
Rules and fines were discussed and amended, main change being that scoring 5 or under is now a £1 fine and scoring a duck is now a £2 fine.
Meeting closed at 8.35pm.
Subsequently, Fraz paid the first fine of the season (£2) for calling an RDW and then turning up late.

Se-e-ecret Tour took place over 4 days from Sat 4th to Tue 7th July, ably organised by this year's tour leader Lisa Dam. Leaving the Boars Head at 8.45am (not 9am!) we headed off to er... Bristol Airport. Until we got to check-in, only Dam knew the tour destination. In fact, as EasyJet's check-in desks were open to all destinations we didn't know where we were going until we actually had boarding card in hand... destination Krakow!
The transfer from Krakow Airport to our hotel, the Galycia, must have been the longest 15km airport transfer ever... instructions were easy enough... get the bus to the train station, take the train into Krakow, get the no. 10 tram to hotel. Seemplz!.
Unfortunately the kind people at Krakow Airport put a bar just outside the terminal exit. After almost an hour of being only a few feet into Polish territory, we eventually got the bus to get the train and we arrived in Krakow city centre. Not knowing how the tram system worked, we retired to the nearest pub to get advice off a friendly barman. An hour and three pints later, 7 of the team had enough advice to tackle the no. 10 tram and made it to the hotel (the remainder bottled out and took a taxi - not in our instructions so I feel a fine is in order).
Tour involved the obligatory drinking, mayhem and go-karting (which Reg claims to have won even though JT has the fastest lap time...); 9 of the team went off to visit Auschwitz on the Monday and the photos should tell the rest of the story...
...except one minor incident. On the first night, somewhere around 3am, DJ decided to go sleepwalking in just a pair of boxers. He woke up around 2 miles from the hotel with no recollection of where we were staying... DJ can tell you the rest.
Excellent tour and destination well organised by Dam. Reg has already picked up the tour-organiser baton for 2010.

So here goes first rant of the season!! Well there isn't one this week the team performed great especially Damage with his 71 with the whole team following him up to achieve our highest score of the season 444!! Those who were dropped this week and who are playing next better keep note, I'm ruling with an iron rod from now on. Read the rules, live by them and you will be ok!!

| About the team |
The Boars Head team has been playing in the Berkeley and District Skittles League for many years, but a change of ownership at the Boars Head Inn (the team's home alley) saw Pete Stump take over as captain with a completely new set of players to represent the pub for the 2003/04 season.
Steve "Reg" Mansell soon took control and formed a team based on nepotism, favouritism, bribery and whether or not a player lives in (or has ever lived in) Park View Road in Berkeley.
The team is currently playing (languishing!) in Division 2.
