Date For The Diary



Ladies,
Got a lovely email from the Wombatster yesterday urging us to get this football match in Preston booked. I include an exert from her email below.

We have to keep in mind that we are all busy people and getting us all together is going to be really tricky – so before you say you can’t do the suggested date, please think long and hard.

I have a very good mental image of the day and it really would be a fitting tribute to have it in Preston with Kath’s parents and friends cheering us on:

"I remembered this girl we used to all play against called Jess McBeath, she was captain of Stirling at around the time you were gaffer or thereabouts. Well, anyway I met her at a conference at University of Central Lancashire last year, the uni's in Preston. She works there doing research into football studies AND she did her PhD in womens football (but thats just by-the-by!) And here's my link. Wouldn't it be good if we could get the match for Kath organised in Preston and I'm sure Jess could organise some oppostition maybe with old uni girls and a pitch maybe at Preston. Anyway, this was just something I was thinking but wanted to run it by you before I might email Jess? What do you think?"

So please give me your comments on the following?
- How you all fixed on the weekend of 2nd September (think hard)?
- Shall we let old Jess help us out with a decent opposition, or is that too serious?
- What do people think about a fives competition?

Although I would really love to come down and play I have real problems getting weekends off. I have booked the following weekend off for a wedding so its unlikely I will be able to get two weekends off in a row.
Oct or anytime after then would be ideal as I will be unemployed!

I might hold you to that Wombat.

Will see what I can do but doesn't look too hopeful. It seems tourist advisors are not allowed to request time off, or that is the opinion of my idiot boss.
If that date does go ahead, let me know asap so I can start pretending to be ill from now.

Cathy/Hayley - In Scumdee this weekend. Drinks on Sat night? or lunch on Sunday perhaps?

Wombs, you make me laugh a LOT!

Speedy, I second what Wombat says -we can't do it without you and that's an order!!

I am writing this from my exercise bike (leading by example)
