I understand there is a forthcoming rematch between the above teams which is being held at the Farley (Theatre of Dreams) next week some time.
I cannot find any details being posted on the event?
I know it was a huge success last time it was held and well worth dropping down to the Farley for a few drinks to watch the old boys get another thumping..... |

The original thread was http://www.croydo...read_id=75.
It was a great weekend last time around, and I think the Old boys have nearly enough turning up for three teams on the different days.
I got my letter from Mark through the post yesterday. Have heard that the Croydon team are so worried about the ageing, dont know the rules, has been old boys, that they are recruiting Andy Esgrove (Tolworth) and Danny Evans (Rochester/Kent) to play.

I popped in the Farley when the last event took place.I remember thinking that it was hilarious. The current Croydon representative team were about 10-2 behind in a race to 15 ! But then the alcohol took effect on the "old boys".The current team were huddled around a pint of orange squash with umpteen straws ! Amazingly the current "stars" came back from the dead. It was an incredible turn around. Perhaps if the demon drink was restricted to post match celebrations,the result would be different !! A few egos might be left in tatters !! |

My point is Daniel, there appears to be a charity event occuring which is directly connected with the Croydon Pool League, and no doubt like me is of interest to the members of the League? There appears at present to be no mention on the site of the forthcoming event hence my post. Whether I turn up or not bears no relevance to those involved but I am interested in the event none the less and will donate some dosh to the Charities concerned.....

There was a thread started a couple of weeks back as Shaggy has mentioned (And provided a link for)
Dates are as follows:
Friday 16th Nov (from 8pm)
Saturday 17th Nov (from 8pm)
Sunday 18th Nov (from 2pm)
It should be a cracking weekend.
A few of us won't be able to make the Sunday due to Surrey commitments, but this will be a minimal amount.
Can't comment on the last one because I was on holiday at the time of the match, but a massive success by all acounts.
I can assure you however, that I won't be huddled around an orange squash with a straw.
I don't share my squash with anyone. . . .

:box: Mr Mills, I cannot recall you representing the CDPL between 1988-92 but if this is the case you are more than welcome to turn up at any of the sessions. I will need confirmation first before I contact Bob or Joe as I won't be present at the weekend due to work committments. |

Swetts has invited me to turn out for the current team on the basis that I have still have the correct t-shirts.
So I'll be there Friday and Saturday, no can do Sunday as have County.
Looking forward to seeing some of the lads. |
