The Crosscars - Awards Night Date Announced

After almost as much dithering as is usually involved in a 2nd XI single, I've finally decided that Awards Night will take place on the evening of Saturday 28th August at Arbo.

This is usually the social highlight of the season, although it may be run close this year by the 60th Anniversary Dinner. So do come along. If you haven't been before, you can expect the evening to feature the following:

• a very garish Hawaiian shirt, in nylon;
• several quaichs, at least one of which will be filled with port - this should be avoided by anyone sensible and all those playing in the 3rds' game at Dunfermline the next day;
• a bearded compere and a "glamorous assistant";
• a rubber duck;
• the James Bradley Memorial Princess Hissy Fit trophy;
• a large lump of rock tastefully mounted on a wooden plinth;
• CoCo having a gentle snooze;
• and much hilarity.

I'll send out the ballot papers by e-mail later this week. In the meantime if there are any special awards you'd like to add to the usual line-up please let me know, also by e-mail so as not to spoil the surprise.
