Gents,

LAST WEEK GUYS!! get it in...keep the pot building...more in there the more comes out ;)

Please keep the bids coming in regardless and of course feel free to call me/ email me for an immediate update on current bid levels

Anyway, here’s the current bidding

So, the pot now has 3,030rmb in it! Everyone can still keep bidding for the above teams in 10rmb or 50rmb lots.

I can’t believe no-one has bid on teams like Switzerland, Paraguay, Uruguay & Slovakia and a few real outsiders like Honduras, New Zealand and Greece.

While some of the HUGE favourites are still going REALLY cheap like Spain, Portugal, Germany, Italy, Argentina…then there are the middle teams too.

Last week before the big competition starts…you’ve got to start getting your bids in now lads…don’t leave it until it is TOO LATE!!!

Richard

Gents,

The season's awards' party is upon us and eee by gum, we deserve a drink or two!! It's been a tough year for this team...still, as always there's been some highlights, some lowlights, some f*cking funny sh*t and some things we'd all like to forget about...

So, we're going to gather this Saturday at our sponsor Danger Doyle's 7.30-8pm to get have a nice buffet dinner, have a load of drinks and then have the season 2009-10 Awards for the following:

As & Bs:

Manager's Player of the Year

Player's Player of the Year

Golden Boot

5's A's & B's:

Manager's Player of the Year (MVP)

(plus another award I believe - TBC)

Darts:

Manager's Player of the Year (MVP)

Most Improved Chucker of the Year

and the most important trophy of the year:

BARBARIAN OF THE YEAR 2009-10

and of the course the annual boat race, where the B's always cheat...however, it would be nice to have enough 5's and darts players there so we can actually have a PLAY OFF first...haha...we'll see!

We NEED all our club members to bring a partner, friend or stranger along to make the numbers swell and it more of an interesting night.

It's the usual 150rmb per ticket, with free drinks till 12 (not spirits I think TBC)...then we get our discounted prices after the cut off time. There's international friendlies and of course the club will be taking bets for the World Cup competitions.

Anyway, please the flyer (designed by Tatlai Wong Club Legend) for more details and PLEASE BRING SOMEONE AND SUPPORT YOUR TEAM MATES when they win their awards!!

Looking forward to having a drink with you this Saturday night!

Richard

For anyone interested, or for anyone has a nagging question about darts, I'd just like to confirm that the Beijing Barbarians Darts team is by far the best darts team in the world, and I strongly recommned that anyone who wants to represent us at the throwing level and/or the boat race level is more than welcome to!

Respect the darts! Respect the Club!
