WOW!
What a terrific season the members of the Hockey Club Executive Club have had, and this success can be attributed to everyone's willingness to support and to take part in the numerous and various activities organised by the many volunteers from within the group, not to mention the camaraderie generated by the enthusiastic support given to the matches played at West Cliff on a Saturday irrespective of what the weather had to offer!
However, none of this undoubted success could have been achieved without the tireless striving for new heights of membership involvement and enjoyment by our much respected Leader, Cliff Hassall to whom we owe so much; thank you Cliff!Christmas Lunch
at
The Running Pump
December 2009It was with much eager anticipation of things to come when it was learnt that the Christmas Lunch was to be held once more at our favourite venue, The Running Pump.
The following pictures were kindly taken, and supplied by John Whalley.
Tony tries to cheer up the sad old dog, no not Graham, he is well content with his pint!
The photographer thought he would have a better view looking down from a great height!
Still in the elevated position the view becomes clearer though
a member at the back looks somewhat confused!
Peter looks a little sceptical at James' global warming predictions, and Chris looks bemused at Keith's explanation for the need of the BAE Systems Baksheesh fund!
Three smiling faces, and only half, of half a pint, between them!
Ben holds his glass in readiness and Mike looks resigned!
Lunch is about to be served ....... I think!
Yes, here it comes!!
Melon!
Mike seems well suited, though John seems a little doubtful, perhaps it was just a bone stuck in his throat!
Jackets like that were made to last!
Perhaps elevation wasn't necessary after all as delivery of a plate of meat was all that was required to obtain maximum exposure of the flesh!!
A very relaxed Keith and a very contented Harold!
Perhaps it's now time to count the calories, to eat less and to drink less too!
Whilst continuing to talk Tony unwinds another screw top, better than corks, much easier!
No, surely the food wasn't that bad, was it?
Peter listens intently or John tries to rouse him from a deep, deep sleep!
Sush, say no more, my lips are sealed!
Cliff makes a point to Peter!
