Dry house?
Wednesday, Mar 21st, The Bell, Shepherdswell...A pub without beer! This did not bode well for the Pot Boys. The first round clearly showed the reliance placed on good beer by the PotBoys, as they lost 3-2 to the Wednesday boys. But, ably switching to alternatives (Guiness, red wine and whiskey proved popular), the Pot Boys took the next three rounds with ease. But for once, lunch was to be Bridge's downfall - the chicken chasseur may have tasted good, but it did not help the Pot Boys' play, losing the final two round to end up with a well-earned draw.
Thank you to Tony and John for organising it and to the staff at The Bell for good service and good food. Good beer would have been nice, but we are assured that it won't happen again.

Many thanks to René, Harry and their staff 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
