What a great night Sarah and I had last night! The taxi arrived on time, we had wonderful company and very decent grub for the meal, and although I didn't win the big trophy (that went to a chap who has done a brilliant job of getting the pitch into decent order) I got a sort of "consolation prize" when I got the Chairman's Award. I was asked to make a speech so I pointed out that it was the third time I'd won it (from three different Chairmen) and asked jokingly if I could keep it. When I got back to my seat I noticed that my good mate Malcolm, who died last November, had beaten me to three wins by two years! The younger member of the Men's squad managed to make up witty songs/chants for most of the winners which had us all in stitches, and the Women's squad got very pissed. All in all, a typical rugger "do".  And best of all Sarah really enjoyed herself. |

Oh that sounds brilliant. I was a bit worried when you said you got back to the table you noticed your good friend Malcolm, who died last November. I thought you were slipping into sixth sense 👻

I thought you were slipping into sixth sense 👻 No, I just looked at the names on the trophy! The thing is, I hadn't been to one of these evenings since 2019, and two of Malcolm's wins came in 2021 and 2022. |

Llongyfarchiadau, Will.
A well deserved award, and I'm delighted you both had a good night - I feel that was quite a step for Sarah, was it not?

Llongyfarchiadau, Will. A well deserved award, and I'm delighted you both had a good night - I feel that was quite a step for Sarah, was it not? Diolch yn fawr Mulv! It was. Last week was a really good week for her as she met up with four lots of friends and had the Rugby Club do. She's knackered now. It would have been good if we could have spread it all over a couple of weeks, but having got in touch with folks to ask them to make contact I couldn't really dictate the timetable when they did as I asked. I just hope they'll all keep in contact on a reasonably regular basis. |
