Christmas Party 21 December

Right then, now then, now then, right then...the details of our Christmas Party and that: the total monies for this evening will be £50, or a bullseye if you're from the under classes. £20 for the meal and wines and what not and £30 for the game which I understand will be some sort of bounty game.

I should think kick off will be somewhere in the region of 7pm.

When I said these are the details, what I really meant was this is roughly what's happening. In my experience Christmas parties should have some wiggle room to accommodate last minute moments of inspiration.

Christmas Party 21st December

12/15/2009 03:31:00 pm / Posted by Windrush Valley Card Club / comments (0)



People,

The Windrush Valley Card Club's Christmas Party will take place next Monday - December 21st. Details, like Ethiopian children, are thin on the ground (is that in poor taste? I've been on my own for two weeks so I've lost some social graces I'm afraid) - but anyway, details will emerge over the next 24 hours or so please keep checking back.

It'll be a turkey/beef dinner with many wines and other drinks followed by a bounty type freeze-out poker game.

Kick-off times and prices will be posted ASAP. Somewhere in the region of 7.3opm and between £50 - £80 I reckon.

Hope to see you all there, there really is no excuses for not celebrating the birth of the baby Jesus with us, unless you're an 'orrible evil islamic Turk or something of that sinister nature, but even if you are you should still come anyway.

Here is the final league table. Chris Peros is our Champion and why not. League points will be converted into raising chips on a ratio of 25 chips per league point. A further 5,000 raising chips will be available to each finalist for the very reasonable sum of £50.

By my calculations which I've just done on my fingers we should have somewhere in the region of £1500 to play for if everyone claims the extra chips. You could buy 15 awesome Space Lego sets for that so it's worth playing for.

The final shootout will take place on Monday September 7th - kick-off 8.10pm.

Our penultimate game of the season was a bruising encounter one which none of us who played in it or witnessed it will forget until at least tomorrow lunch time.


Our final game will be next Monday's £30 freeze-out with buffet (£40 buy-in) after which we will have a week off. The Grand Finale will be played on September 7th. Only 9 buy-ins required to qualify for the game - each league point converted into 25 raising chips. An additional 5,000 chips can be bought on the night for a bullseye, two ponies, or just £50. IT'S UP TO YOU.




The Final Countdown

With just two games of the season remaining it's all getting so exciting I'm literally shitting tension. Who people, who will be the 2009 Windrush Valley Card Club Champion? Will Chris of Peros' chip lead be enough to see him manouever his way through the grand final field? Or will we see one of the shorties David their way past Peros' Goliath with a pokering equivalent of a sharp pebble to the eye?

In your eye you big hairy Arab bastard


Andy Perrie, Pete Spedding and Nick Dobson are one game away from qualification; Jason Oliver will need to play both remaining games.

A seven letter word for "attics" is of course Garrets.

Monday's game was an horrific carnage involving draws and out-draws not seen since Wild Bill Hickock was new to the game. Andy Perrie was the last man standing and this means with only three games left in the season nothing really exciting has happened as far as the league table is concerned. But this is it anyway:

As we speak we have 13 confirmed runners for the Final game in September with another 6 runners who can still make it. Those runners be: Neil of Gladding, Paul of Lazenbury, Nick of Dobson - who has not been seen since the Rosè challenge and we have heard tell of serious concern amongst his family members for his welfare, Jason of Oliver, Pete of Spedding and Monday's victor - Andy of Perrie.

If anyone has seen Nick Dobson please contact us immediately.
