Fantasy News 2022
No 8 Edition
Time for another update and we have three competitions to add - the scores for the Brazier Trophy, the Millennium Claret Jug, and part 4 of the Seasons cup.
The first of these went to Sweetie Greg, Two and Six Buckingham, Plug Wayman, and 'Hole in One' expert Graham Killington. It’s a sign of the times that two of these creative names did not come from me, but I should point out I’m ahead in the 2 for 6 race with The Don as I’ve now got two to my name.
The millennium claret jug was shared by Flash and Cosy who beat his drum heavily on the second 9. It was down to Roger ‘Cups’ Tallentire to list Gordon’s wins this year on WA belying his protestations that he never wins anything. Roger is saving up for a trip to New Zealand and has already melted down 10 of our cups to pay for it.
Frenchie won the last round of the 4 Seasons and he’s another ‘I never win’ golfer although I did overhear him saying he wished he’d stopped taxi driving sooner as the swindle is more lucrative.
As ever well done to all our winners.
In other news our swim captain, Henry VI, is reported to be pleased his ponds are back with water in them and he is pleased we got permission for an Olympic site pool on the 18th. The new ski run for use in the colder months will be on the 8th and several seniors have already tested it although Poppy Les thought it was for filming a Top Gear episode and used it as skidpan.
Then there’s our penguin lover who’s now booked to see Father Christmas in Lapland. When he said Lapland, at first I thought he was going clubbing, but apparently not. Please don’t spoil Pingu Oakley’s trip by casting doubt on Father Christmas existence.
In a surprise announcement O'Steve is going to be captain in 2024. This was only after he agreed to wear shorts all year as recent captains Dave Sunhat and Jimmy Handley exhibited captains’ kneecaps well into the November at Poppy Day. Speaking of showing off legs our own Skinner Latte recently got into bare leg trouble with a bee so his legs are no longer to be seen.

In more surprising news, I hear that some of the South Essex mob may return after finding the grass isn’t any greener there. I don’t know if that includes ‘you know who’ but perhaps he just wants to congratulate our 2024 captain on his appointment.

PS. Been with my dentist for over 20 years when I got an email saying ‘please confirm this is your email’. I suppose they thought if I didn’t receive it, I’d write back saying ‘no it isn’t’.
PPS. For years I’ve been trying to explain we play in a Bogey competition as a Bogie is part of a train. Bogie is on the fixture list again. Perhaps snot (i.e. bogey) is just not woke now.
