July meeting - and the SMSE Player Of The Year Award

Yes folks, it's that time of year again. It's seven years since Spence and I started SMSE at the Upper Bell pub in Bluebell Hill, and over the last three years, the last meeting of the club year has become established as the occasion when we award the trophy for the SMSE Player Of The Year ©. The SMSE POTY is the (SMSE) player who has made most progress during the preceding twelve months.

In 2007, the inaugural year, it was Alan Rogers.

In 2008, we made the award to Kevin Wooten.

In 2009, Mike Beer received the trophy for that year.

So... who's it going to be this year?


We asked for nominations and suggestions, and we got them. And so it's too late now. Spence and I have only been and gone and done it - we've decided on this year's recipient.

So... are you going to be there to receive your award, whoever you are?

It Could Be YOU!

(well, not if your name is Alan Rogers, Kevin Wooten, Mike Beer, Spencer Scott or Jim Nugent, that is)

Where?

Temple Farm Working Mens Club, at 15-17 Cedar Road, Rochester, Kent ME2 2HB, [phone: 01634 717172 ]

If you have Satnav, you can use the postcode [ME2 2HB] as your homing signal.

If you're using less hi-tech methods of navigation, here's a map of the area:

You can probably see that Cedar Road runs off Darnley Road, but doesn't quite meet. That's because the local authority, suffering an attack of the madness that affects all councils, blocked off the junction with concrete. "A" marks the spot (and it isn't far from the blocked-off junction), but you need to travel via Cuxton Road (the main road - A228) and Hawthorn Road in order to get as near as possible to the club.

When?

Wednesday 7th July at 19:30

Why?

...er... file not found.

See you there,

It'll be good to see you there, antoine - have you been to the new(est) venue yet?

UPDATE: Trophy - the finest that Timpson's sells - now purchased and engraved. Though not before I had inadvertently specified :

"xxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, SMSE Player Of The Year 2009" :oops:

When I went back to Timpson's to collect it, they had spelled another word wrong, so did it all again, FOC - and this time with the correct year included...

So... are you wondering who it is? It could still be you (whoever "you" are).

See you all on Wednesday.
