I could do with someone fitter, the body of an adonis and with great talent only rivalled by the late great George Best on the Coningsby team if you want to play.

You're too kind, of course mate no problems, though I do charge a slight fee for the hire of my footy skills.

I may throw my eldest to the lions and suggest he has a kick around as well. At 13 he will run rings round the old gets!

I'll bring a bottle of meths.
 
TBH I see myself in a supporting role, supporting the bar that is :PDT_Xtremez_30: (coat collected am leaving now).

Sorry Kernow, we ain't coming. Tried to form a joint team with Brunssum with no success. We decided against travelling with only 3 players. Colostomy bags were all packed as well as my Devonian passport to allow me entry into a Cornish house.

Sorry guys, if it helps, I would have refereed as well.

Hopefully next year.

You know you have let the side down. Invitations for Devonians to stay in a Cornish House don't come round very often. As afterwards it involves bleaching the whole house to get rid of the Plymuff stench!

No worrys mate, sure we shall catch up at some point.
 
Anyone know how long the competition has been running? The organiser is in discussion with the sports board to get next years event made into a duty - so that folks could get help with travel etc.

I will ask around, though HS or Tommo might know as they have been around since the Air Force was formed!

I had heard that he was serving on continuance:PDT_Xtremez_42:

Don't worry we will have a beer or two to toast you off to the sunny south
 
That makes me feel a lot better, knowing you lot will be bladdered!! For info, the comp has certainly been running since at least 91, but it could be earlier than that. Ask a really old sweat like HS, Forgotten Name etc etc.
 
Have got the Pres of Sports Board visiting my gaff soon so could always drop it into the conversation.
 
Easy Tigers!! My first Tournament was when I was at Stanmore in the 90's; can't say much before that 'cause I was abandoned on a Sqn at Laarbruch and probably wouldn't have been asked even if it was going on! The PMA Mafia (if there was such a beast) would probably know best (and you won't hear me saying that very often!!). I'm in the midst of packing too and will wave to you Tommo as I pass JHC (:PDT_Xtremez_28: ) but we're sending a drinking team (Shiney Arse & Shiney Scot) and fully expect to go out to the Girly team from oop north in the first round!

Good Luck fellas & have a greasy egg & bacon roll from Peg for me!!
 
TG17 5s - North Luffenham 1989

TG17 5s - North Luffenham 1989

My first TG17 5s was in Sep 1989 held at RAF North Luffenham; I was at RAF Bracknell at the time as an LAC. Cost £2.50 for a taxi from the camp into Stamford if I remember correctly.

Could future events be held during the week as other trades do (not all admittedly) - and would this help beef up the attendance? Might be easier to sell to the Long-Haired Chief of Staff for those who are under the thumb.
 
Despite several last minute problems (limited number of refs, small problems with the goals etc) the competition got underway yesterday morning.

After some very close matches (including a nail-biting final in the cup between Uxbridge and Northwood), we finally had our winners:

TG17 Plate Winners 2007 - High Wycombe
TG17 Cup Winners 2007 - Northwood

Many thanks to all who attended - the weather was perhaps a little too warm - especially towards the end when everyone was feeling run down - we hope you all enjoyed your Peg burgers, and (fingers crossed) hope to see you all (plus more!) next year.

Twas a great day, only sorry that I could not play due to a nagging sock injury. Thanks to all involved in organising. Note to self for next year, do not eat before catching sight of TBJ in sports kit!:PDT_Xtremez_34:

At least I have sports kit, teletubby! It was a very good weekend; it's always good to catch up with people you thought were dead. Perhaps next year we can have a concurrent veterans tournament to see if we can coax the likes of Humble Scribe, tommo9999 and Bitte Ein Bit back into a pair of shorts.

Runs for cover.

Are you sure that we could organise enough medics to cover that?:PDT_Xtremez_31:

Now there is one very scary picture. :PDT_Xtremez_09: Again twas all said on Saturday, but a big thumbs up to all involved on Saturday, both with the organising and all those who attended. Hopefully, a few other camps will pull their fingers out and get a team in as it would be nice to fill Uxb with as many shinys as poss (Trade Review not with standing)

ps - Humble Scribe - good job you couldn't make it as we managed to reach the semi's. Nah, nah nanana!!!
