Annual Renion A Huge Success.

I would like to thank all our members what turned up to our annual reunion in Blackpool, it were bloody great to see all three nights packed to the rafters and a big thanks goes to the Catholic Club and the Savoy Hotel for putting us up.
The highlight for me personally would be my team's stirring fightback in the keenly fought and sometimes ill tempered beach football match in which, after conceding a rather dubious opening goal from a shot that was so high our goalkeeper couldn't even reach it with his walking stick, we stormed back to first equalise and then gloriously triumph in a nail biting penalty shootout. The whole match was marred however when I was wrongly sent off after an altercation resulting in what the opposition laughingly called a "dive" when I was ruthlessly hacked down in the penalty area in the closing minutes of the first half - I was later reinstated after an appeal.
