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!
Belfast, Minorca, Ljubljana, Oporto, Malta, Ibiza, the Dordogne… What’s next in this sequence?
Please suggest, by way of comment below, where you think the Allstars should go on Tour in 2011. If we get enough suggestions, I’ll start a poll on this blog, allowing everyone to vote for their preferred venue.
Our benign dictator Maxie will take your suggestions carefully into consideration before making a decision in his own absolute discretion.
Personally, I’d like to go somewhere hot, where we can go swimming in the pool after playing cricket. All our Mediterranean tours have been successful, so why tamper with a classic? Do you agree? Comment below!
NOTE: The title of this post originally referred to 2012. That’s not because we are not touring in 2011. It was because I am an idiot.
Paul Bowman has created two online photograph galleries from the 2010 Allstars Tour to the Dordogne for your viewing pleasure. They can be accessed by clicking the links below:
The galleries are hosted on Facebook but are available to everyone: you don’t need a Facebook account to see them, but only Facebook users can make comments on the photos.
Paul has very kindly said that if there are any photos you would like the original of, please you can drop him a line and he will will send you the raw file(s).
