Jolly Boys Knees Up Friday 25th April 2008, 10:20 am
Our resident England grass bowls player Tom Cawdell has organised us a night of high quality entertainment.... Yes after all the speculation of last year, we finally have our BBQ night sorted.
On the menu will be Beer, BBQ and Bowls. Yes you heard right Bowls! The venue is Luton Bowling Club, Bowling Green Lane with a start of around 7pm on Friday 30th May.
On a serious note, this will be a great crack and a good chance for all the lads to keep in touch during the 3 month break before preseason starts. Big thanks to Tom for sorting this out and we'll make sure we have a couple more nights organised during June and July for the whole team to get involved in.
Lets hope Tom raises his game this time round unlike last years Conservative Club experience haha.
Cheers

Training Session Monday 31st December 2007, 02:08 pm
As we haven't played any football for a month due to fixture changes and the holiday break, we have arranged for a Training session to be held on Thursday 8pm-9pm @ Lea Manor Outdoor, in order to familiarise everyone with the round thing they call a football and try to sweat out the excessive pints devoured during Christmas and New Year.
If you can't make the session please let us know asap so we get an idea of numbers etc. Remember its another defence of the County Cup this Sunday so get your running shoes on this week and work on getting some fitness back.
Cheers

The County Cup fixture against Houghton Park on 9th December 2007 has been cancelled due to waterlogged pitch, the rearranged fixture has been set for the 6th January 2008. We will try to get some Saturday/Sunday training sessions in before this date as it will mean we haven't played a competitive game for over a month!
