Pot Boys Pipped in World Series Match
Wednesday, July 9th, The Bell Inn, Shepherdswell...Ten Pot Boys (Graham, Peter F, Mervyn, Raj, Tony, FJ, Andy, Peter M, Frank and Mark) travelled to the depths of rural Kent to visit the Bell Inn - risen, like a phoenix, from the ashes of destruction. A wet Wednesday, but it couldn't put a dampener on the spirits of the players. A whitewash in the second round looked to set the scene for another Pot Boys victory, but the Wednesday Boys bounced back just before lunch to clean the slate. Full of lasagne and curry (except Frank), the Pot Boys let their guard slip, just enough for the Wednesday Boys to establish a 2 point lead. That was all that was needed to take them to their first victory since November 2007.
Thanks to John and Tony for organising the match and to the pub for a terrific half-time dinner.

2008 Annual Dinner
The twenty-fifth annual dinner was held on Friday 4th January 2008 at the Red Lion Inn.The menu was the traditional fare of soup, steak & kidney pudding, apple tart & cheese.
19 Pot Boys sat down for dinner - a most appropriate number. Peter and Peter put on an excellent quiz, which was received most enthusiastically. In the absence of the President, who was unwell, The Big Board game teams were captained by Mervyn and Frank and somewhat promptly won by Frank's team.
Many thanks to Mike and Viv of the Red Lion for putting up with us and providing a great dinner.

Rest in Peace, Jim
The saddest news that could hit the Guild - the passing of our "President", Jim, on 21st June, 2005.Jim was cremated at Barham Crematorium on 30th June with 14 guild members in attendance. Afterwards, at the Plough and Harrow a Big Board game was held in his honour, with his grandson, also called James, leading the President's team to victory.
Underwater Cribbage
Yes, that's right! 4 intrepid pot boys - Dave, Viv, Peter M and Mark - led by Dave are going to play Cribbage in scuba gear at the bottom of the swimming pool in Shornecliffe.We want to raise lots of money for charity (Macmillan cancer relief) doing this, so if any pot boys have ideas for sponsors or publicity, let's hear them. We'll be using special magnetic playing cards supplied by Spirit Games
