Geek Tip of the Week

First of all thanks to all who responded to my recent email and apologies to the few of you who were not receiving emails. The problem(s) have been located and gaffed together until the bug has been properly squashed. Anyway - some of you may or may not want to be getting all of the stuff going on here. You actually have a lot of control over what you get.

Grudge Match DPR Hot Dogs v Bashers Business

Division one humdinger. Traditionally the first match of the season but the anti-basher is showing his fear by scheduling it later. Get in for a bite of dog meat - we know you've always wanted to try it.

Drinks Break Thursday

As usual a great meeting of the minds will be taking place Thursday evening. Meanwhile at the Big Bamboo will be Bashers drinks. A nice early start this week due to no nets. Undoubtedly many good times will be had and forgotten. The president's Father is even rumoured to be making an appearance! Don't forget your Bashers loyalty card and it wouldn't hurt to have you home address written out somewhere too.
