**** IMPORTANT REMINDER ****

Guys,

On behalf of everyone in the Committee – I am posting this to make sure that all registered Bashers are aware:

The Bashers GEOFF HOWE BENEFIT QUIZ and AUCTION NIGHT has been POSTPONED to JULY 1^st at CAMEL BAR!!!

Dear All

In case you have not already heard, the date for the Geoff Howe Benefit (World Cup Quiz Night and the Auction) has been postponed from Friday June 25^th to Thursday July 1^st. The event opens at 6.30, with the Quiz commencing at 7.30 sharp. So be there at 6.30 to organize your teams and get good tables.

We apologize for change, but please understand that the World Cup is on, and an appropriate venue has been difficult to secure arrangements for such an event. The Camel Bar have thankfully saved the day for us, and the date is especially good because it is the first in weeks WITHOUT a World Cup game scheduled.

So please inform anyone who you have previously told about this event that the date and venue have been changed. We apologize for the inconvenience, and your patience and understanding would be appreciated. We are all trying our best to support this effort.

The attached flyer shows the new time and date and return to the old venue – the Camel Bar. There are some great new prizes and we will be sending another flyer around early next week with the full updated list and description of prizes. Some details are currently available on our website: http://basherscc.org/blog/2010/05/18/raffle-for-geoff/

We look forward to seeing you all there!!

Never Trust a Cricketer… …

Never Trust a Cricketer…

Come all ye fair young maidens and harken unto me,
Never trust a cricketer, whoever he may be.
Randier than a sailor who’s been six months at sea,
Never let a cricketer’s hand an inch above your knee.
First, let’s take the pace man, pure speed from first to last!
My darlings, do be careful; his balls are hard and fast.

WC Quiz

No not a whole evening of questions on Water Closets, although there may be some. No it’s the Bashers Trivia World Cup 2010.

Usually gaiety and cerebral exercise with some big old prizes in a new venue with a Filthy new quizmonster.

Bashers Soccer City located a stagger away from the Camel on Yongfu lu, Number 47, fourth floor to be exact.

Entry will be 100RMB per head again. We’ll be starting early this time so we can try to be done by 1opm when the North Koreans will invade play Côte d’Ivoire (Pothole & Made In v Oscar & Cranky). The Brazilians (Stats & Brokeback) and Portuguese (Ivo & Pusher) might have to watch their match in the gents washroom.

Also of course we’ll be drawing the final winners for the Big Geoff Benefit Raffle so really what possible reason would you have to miss this one?

This is going to be massive!
