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!

Boys and Girls,

Barbarians Football Club are pleased to announce a NEW competition to club members only (Cos it's illegal to gamble in China :)

We're playing for the Golden Boot...the most coveted prize after the cup itself...Who will it be?? Will it be Rooooooknneeeee, Messy, Droggers or one of the new guys like little Chicharitoe...anywway, you are the expert so you tell me! :)

Entry is 100rmb for one World Cup player...all the money is put into the pot and then whoever is the ACTUAL golden boot winner, the pot is divided by those people (club members) who have that player. For example...if 20 people play this competition then the pot will have 2,000rmb. If Wayne Rooney is the ACTUAL golden boot winner, and 10 of those people have Wayne Rooney, then they will each get 200rmb. Got it? Easy really...

As usual please contact me directly via email or text to register your player. I will keep a record and update you as often as possible.

Richard

Gents,

Here’s the latest….A few movers. I am very surprised by the lack of bidding on some of the big countries like Spain, Germany, France and Italy…England clearly is the favourite judging by your bidding.

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 2,760rmb in it! Everyone can still keep bidding for the above teams in 10rmb or 50rmb lots. There are plenty of other decent teams left as well…teams like Switzerland, Paraguay, Uruguay & Slovakia and a few real outsiders like Honduras, New Zealand and Greece.

Anyway, remember, you can email or text me your bid…keep them coming…the more in the pot there more the prize money

Richard
