17 May
Dragons agm and Awards Night
Discuss important issues during the day, get drunk and applaud/laugh at your teammates in the evening. The awards night is traditionally the big club social of the year.
While there’s still the big game to come on Saturday, we’re not going to have any more training until the January 7th. Instead we’ll be heading to the Mochyn Du, off Cathedral Road, for a pre-xmas drink or tw0 next Monday, starting from 7pm.
Because Cardiff High is closed for half-term, we’ll be training at the Slug and Lettuce in town from 7 pm, rather than in a sports hall as usual. Training resumes as normal on the 5th November.
April saw our club awards night and the league awards, in which several Dragons players gained recognition. Only 1 Dragons player managed to make it into the team of the year, compared to 4 for Bristol City which shows how well we played as a team to beat them. Twice.
Full winners and more photos below.
Wednesday 7th March, 7pm, BINGO, Castle Bingo (on Newport Road). Contact Sian for details.
Saturday 10th March, 7pm End of Season Party, Josh’s house.
Saturday 21st April, EKL Awards Night. In Bristol somewhere.
There will also be our club awards night sometime in April, which is always a good night. Any suggestions for venue or so on to Helen, please.
Thanks in particular to Helen’s organisational efforts:
Tuesday, 12th December: Mixed Netball 6-8pm
The Korfball Kings and Queens (catchy name, huh) came 4th, and we only lost by one goal to the eventual winners.
Saturday, 16th December: Drinking (and y’know talking and stuff)
Bar 33 (on Windsor Place), 8pm. See you there.
Tuesday, 19th December: More Drinking
Joint social with Cardiff City
Friday, 22nd December: Christmas Social
Tiger Tiger, 7.30pm. Tables already booked, but anyone else is welcome to come along later to join us for drinks
We all went down to the Hollywood Bay for some 10 pin bowling (or 9 pin in Hannah’s case), except Sian, who decided to go to Newport Road instead.
The first games were won by Gareth and Taff respectively, the second by Julie and Joey. Magnus cheated disgracefully - but nonetheless congratulations from the club to him and Anna, who are expecting their first child. Josh had a less successful evening, finishing last both times and then winning the world record for the most poorly worded anecdote.
Taff and Joey then went mano a mano on the dance machine. We hope to have video footage of this on the website soon, but until then ask Caroline if you want to see it (Chris, she’s tall, light-brown hair, someone should be able to point her out to you).
All good fun, and thanks to Helen for organising.
Halloween Social will be held at Sian’s house, 7.30 on Friday 27th October before heading into town around 11.00. Fancy dress and Party games.
Christmas Social will be held at Tiger Tiger, 7.30 on Friday 22nd December. Contact Helen for more details and to confirm that “yes, of course” you’re going. Then give her the money asap.
15th September, Pub Golf.
By then we’ll have been back in training for 2 weeks and will doubtless need a good social to give us a break. Times and pubs to be arranged, but put the date in your diaries and start planning your costume.
