THANKS EVERYONE.

FINAL FUNNIES FOR 2019

Yes it was hot on friday and it was a Scorches Scruffy that arrived for comp after his 1 hour plus walk to the club. He does not like being in the sun, so the question was ‘why didn’t you run here ? As you would only have been half the time in the sun !

Friday night and several withdrawals due to the heat. Yet when in the hall everyone was quite impressed as the fans had done their job. No hotter than 32 degrees on the front courts + 34 on the back ones- yet walk outside and the 40 + nearly knocked you off your feet.

Abdullah was one to call in and say too hot to play- yet he is not even in a team !

John Bennett made his debut at Coburg in comp on Friday night Was obviously waiting for the weather to warm up before he would play .

Gaye at her brilliant best in a challenge against Jimbo. The Where’s Wally calendar. 2 hours plus and recruit a few helpers to solve the January test. But it was concerning when Gaue stated I count the dog as people ! Jim will be hard pressed to beat this time but we gotta worry about STRETCH . All morning had kept his mouth shut so nothing for our readers -then he saw the calendar and said it’s A LP RECORD or a JIGSAW. so the normal response Now I have to call Martin as Mr Slingo is the go 2 man every time Stretch opens his mouth or Jack La gets something else wrong. Stretch thought maybe JIm might stick up for him when he announced Me and Jim are Buddies. All Jim said was ‘On a clear day you can hire Sky writer

Now how about Jim. Who noticed the empty bottle of Coke with the name JIM on it stashed into his bag ?
And his video clip BORDERS ON CONTROL ??? the live version on You tube has attracted 75 hits . -the Jim K video version is now over 76.000. And who knew this ? Jimbo himself !

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE AND A HAPPY 2020 -Keep an eye on this web site and we will update when we would like to have your help working on the court floors before we re open
