The Cricket is over for another year and luckily our minds are not crowded with memories of great victories, well hardly any victories at all…..Nevertheless, we reached the midweek Buckingham Advertiser Cup Final and we graced the Top Division in the OCA for a second year. Indeed Great victories for a small village team!
We know that there is much more to our Club than just the performance on the pitch (luckily!) and we shall celebrate all that makes us The Mighty Gibbon together on Friday 27th September, at The Pavilion, when the Pig shall oink its’ last before providing all with food and drink.
A warm invitation is cast to all players, partners, our wonderful Tea Ladies, supporters, umpires, ground staff and all other miscellaneous club alcoholics alike, past and present. The evening is sure to be as joyous as it shall be entertaining!
The evening shall be casual attire and commence with the bar opening before 7pm for an ‘early-doors’ one to kick start those that need it.
The Pig will be ceremoniously opened to reveal its plunder for the night ahead and hopefully its entrails will take the drinking deep into the night.
Then we shall have an MGCC Through The Ages Quiz starting at around 7.45pm. This will be a quiz based on our 30 years in the OCA and virtually every player shall feature one way or another, from those who played the first league game in 1988 to the game last week (same result anyway!) There shall be teasing yet amusing rounds including “Family Fortunes” where family member performances are pit against each other, and “It couldn’t Happen To a Nicer Fellow” where a few of the less inspiring performances will be aired for you to guess the culprit! Yet all shall be in good spirits and easy for all to guess – even if you weren’t there at the time. Come along and make a Team that spans the ages to earn your team points. Of course, there shall be Prizes aplenty!
We will (most probably) have Chinese food of all tastes and varieties delivered for feasting at 8.30ish. During which the Captains will revise the Season for us and present our Annual Awards.
More than anything we would sincerely like to welcome past players and partners and toast the support we have had this year from so many of you including: Bobby Summers, Taf Gibbons, Martin Deeley, Hubby, Gavin, Les, Mullis, Dave Clarke, Barry, Bazza, Fred and many more….home and away!
Please let us know if you will be attending via the Club Whatsapp, or contact Kyle at ca_needham@yahoo.co.uk
Cheers!
