Anyone who has opened a newspaper or turned on a radio this morning will have heard that the Allstars’ own James Hindle is to marry at last. After living the playboy lifestyle for many years, James proposed to the lovely Rose and (after completing a thorough due diligence exercise), Rose accepted.

All the staff here at the Allstars Blog send James and Rose their warmest congratulations and best wishes for the future.

The Awards Dinner previously scheduled for the 26th November 2010 has been postponed. We’ll bring you details of the new date as soon as it is fixed.

Today is a very special day for a very special Allstar. Our very own Felix Haddow-Allen is marrying the lovely Kate, making him the luckiest man alive, and breaking hearts all over London and the South-East.

I’m sure that all of our readers will want to wish Felix and Kate the all the best for a long and happy life together.

As promised, on the right hand side of this page you will see a poll where you can vote for your favoured destination for the Allstars’ overseas tour in 2011. Just because you don’t usually tour, or won’t be touring in 2011, shouldn’t stop you from voting — after all, Maxie’s not going to take any notice of this anyway.

If you do vote for “Other”, please say where in the comments section below.

UPDATE: the Dinner has now been postponed until a date TBA.

This year’s end of season dinner will be on Friday 26th November, at the Red Lion in St James. It will be a celebration of a hugely successful season, to which all and sundry and their WAGs are invited and very welcome.

The format will be similar to recent years – actually more of an informal buffet than a dinner, in a function room above a pub. For those new to the Club, it’s the evening when we gather for a few beers and some food (about £10 a head) to mark the end of the season, and present awards to the five Allstars Of The Year for their contribution either on- or off-field.

Nominations are now open for the Allstars of the year. Awards can be given for any reason, so please email your suggestions to Maxie.

Please also email Maxie to indicate whether you will be coming and whom else you will be bringing (we need a fairly accurate indication of numbers).

See you there!
