Chistmas Toads Party - report

It was all going so well...
everyone had filed into the Con Club after walking miles after parking their cars. They were exchanging anecdotes of Toad matches played so far, the various throwing techniques that had been adopted over the season so far...
but it had to happen... we expected a surprise appearance of Father 'Toad-Christmas' to walk through the door... but no.
 
In walks Pete the Taxi and in true classic pose, takes his jug handled pint of bitter and refused to hand out the raffle prizes. Bahh Humbug.

Apart from Pete's attendance, we had a guest appearance from Simon Goodman who was still able to maintain concentration despite having a flash camera focused on him.

Otherwise, the gathering comprised of the usual toad banter and team games jockying for opponents and tables. A variety of well honed tables were on offer. And no toads were lost during the evenings games.

It was 9pm and the covers were taken off an extensive banquet which was provided by Paul Hill and the HMI catering Corp.

And just when you thought it couldn't get any better....
We gathered around to listen to Dave Rannie announce the raffle numbers, the highlight of which was watching Ben Ward claim his 'cheesy balls' award from the winner's enclosure.

The evening's team matches resulted in a final then being played between ASBO's and Elephant & Castle, the result of which was seeing the Elephant & Castle crowned Panto-Toad Champs for 2012.

LAST MINUTE CALL FOR SANTAS' HELPERS

Its the Toads Christmas Party tomorrow evening and there's a last minute shout out for getting as many toad tables into the Con Club in order to play... guess what?
YES... Toad in the Hole....

Anyone able to get their home table there should be contacting John Wardle asap.

Also.. don't forget that each team need to bring along a raffle prize.

Thanks

Toad HQ are pleased to report that there's a sudden run away leader from Div 1 for the away 8s...

Hope you all have a great time...

Closer to Crowning King Toad!

It was a hard fought and nervous encounter last night, in both the Volunteer and the Laughing Fish. The atmosphere was set amongst some early signs of Christmas decorations which did not distract from the Toad playing.

With high scoring regularity, every small piece of lead came under intense interrogation as the toads somersaulted into the hole... the crowds, with sore hands from applauding the number of 8s being scored, felt they were witnessing something special.

But there would be only 2 victors to go forward and competing for the title of King Toad this season, as they dispatched some regular finalists from years past on their way.
Tim (DCC) will be playing against the notoriously sharp-eyed Shane (Chalk Pit) in the final later in the season.
