Plus Tom Brown is adding this BRGA Vamp artwork to our Vinyl Board artwork, so we can do vinyl Babe Boards again:

SUMO

I kind of figured the Sponsored Bush Tucker Trials have run their course (all the dumb guys I know, including myself, have already done one), so this year we've hired SUMO SUITs and will run a "King of Sumo" contest.
Entry is £5 (to cover the hire fee, and hopefully raise some for the charity if enough participate).
You can either go into a random draw, or issue a Sumo challenge to any coach you play on the first day.
If the challenge is declined, you go into the draw, and the opposing coach is either fined £5 for cowardice or agrees to wear a Chicken Hat.
The Sumo Final will run saturday evening, the winner gets a King of Sumo Crown plus the top 4 get a Sumo challenge award.

It's gonna be "Thrudtastic"!

Still determined to actually get to a Thrudball, still might clash with family holiday though. :(

You would think that after many years of "Fail", you would put a big red mark through the usual weekend Thrud was held on the family calendar!

Tell Bognor is a holiday. :smoking:

The Bloodbowl tourney 11th-12th August is a definate, the it's a knockout tournament 10th august is still TBC, as I still need to find over £2000 in sponsors and / or 10 teams of 5 people, each of whom are willing to raise £200 each ...

Virral has just given me a whole host of great ideas on how to squeeze the money we need out of sponsors ....thanks Richard!

Plus there's going to be a Team "He-Man" Versus "Team Thrud" Quiz this year (in-joke, but no, really there will be...)

You mentioned it's in the same place as last year, where abouts exactly? Your location showing as Boxgrove so am assuming somewhere close to Chichester?

Sorry if this is a daft question.
