Friday Footy
Some of you may be aware that ‘a bunch of lads’ get together at the RWBSA for a game of football. This has been organised by the local football club as a ‘pay as you play open age’ session – and a number of Hounds have been known to take part.
The Aviva Community Fund has been running for a number of years and gives entrants ‘the chance to get funding for an important cause in your community’. ‘Friday Footy’ is therefore looking to take advantage of the scheme but needs your support. So, rather than try to paraphrase the website, please take a look here, register and vote accordingly.
Future Club Events
1 Nov – A ‘double header’! Not only is it the first ‘Chilli Night’ of the year, but also the clubs Virgin London Marathon Draw!
Chilli will cost you £3 and, as an added bonus you get to watch faces smile or groan as names get pulled out of the hat (or wherever the Chairman has placed them). With so many names in this years draw, it’s sure to be interesting, so make sure you’re there to enjoy the fun!
9 Dec – Xmas Bash. Stay tuned…
Poets Corner (1)
The Light Aside
Let's be silly
Let's have fun
There's more to running
Than the run
/ Let's pat doggies
High five kids
And bang on people's
Dustbin lids / Let's joke with marshals
Along the way
And give some cheek
It's all in play / Let's make this great
For everyone
Let's be silly
And have some fun
Poets Corner (2)
Bit Uppy, Bit Downy
His name could be Jerry
His name could be Fred
The man with a sign on his head
His favourite colour is blue
Or could it be red
The man with a sign on his head
Is he chasing the pack
Or is he ahead
The man with a sign on his head
Is he running quite slowly
Or wearing out tread
The man with a sign on his head
Is there Trubble at' Mill
From which he has fled
The man with a sign on his head
Is he the Best Man who's late
Or is it him to be wed
The man with a sign on his head
Is his car in the garage
And his bike in the shed
The man with the sign on his head
Sue Corrigan stands clapping
Is it something he did
The man with a sign on his head
He's leaving us guessing
There's so much unsaid
The man with a sign on his head
Whatever he's doing here
Hope he's contented
That enigmatic man
With a sign on his head
Poets Corner (3)
Bucket of Blood (Not Appearing Here) probly
It's Getting quite late
You're out through the gate
Just a quick little three before bed
You set off for town
There's nobody around
And light from the window shines red
The night's crisp and cool
The moon's out and full
And in the corner of your eye
There sits a pumpkin
With flickering grin
Gives you a wink as you run by
A dog starts to bark
Somewhere in the dark
And there is still nobody around
An old lady, her cat
With broom and pointy hat
Are struggling to get off the ground
A man less his head
Who should really be dead
Wanders about looking for his horse
And a spectral glow
Looks on as you go
It sends shivers down your spine, of course
A Screech Owl in flight
Pierces the night
Bogey man watches from the doorway
Now a demon is there
With flames in his hair
He's attempting to lead you astray
Leave him in your wake
You're back at your gate
Your partner's a welcome sight
'Did you enjoy your run?'
Same old, same old hun,
It's always quiet on a Tuesday night...
PS
Mr Skellington sends his apologies.
His clothes are still at the drycleaners...
And finally…
Yes, it’s been a slow news week. My, erm, thanks to our resident poet Paul Fishwick for his contributions. Can you do better? Give it a try and send it in.
