07/03/2010 - 300 Up for Christian

Congratulations to Christian Macrae for reaching 300 Club appearances on Saturday 6th March.

Christian has clocked up 300 appearances during three spells with the Club and during that time has scored 138 goals.

Christian was part of our Montgomery Cup winning sides in 1987 & also in 1991 when he scored a hatrick in the final against St. Francis Hospital. He was also a key member of our Premier Division winning side in 1990.

At the ripe old age of 47, infact 48 later this month, Christian is still going strong and his level of fitness is truly commendable.

Well done Christian.

24/02/2010 - Playing the Race Card

Well then, there are a few questions that need to be asked; the main one is - Why hasn’t someone written this before? The officious answer is that I was waiting to get more feedback so that I could give a well rounded and full review of the whole night. The honest answer is that I couldn’t be bothered and Blore was too busy. Anyway, I’m here now.

For those of you that can remember, 6 February 2010 saw the Cuckfield Town FC inaugural Charity Race Night. I’m going to try and run through the night in bullet point format as an aide memoire:

  • Cheap Booze
  • Fit women
  • BAFTA award winning presenter in 70’s suit
  • Jody in a counter-espionage jacket
  • 180+ people
  • BAFTA award winning presenter in pink lycra
  • Laughter
  • Betting
  • Darkness
  • Winning
  • Lots of drinking
  • BAFTA award winning presenter in Speedos
  • Pig racing
  • Tears
  • Fun
  • Projector overheating
  • Excellent night

Even if you weren’t there, you can see that with all the ingredients above, things couldn’t go wrong. I have had some feedback, all of it good. Everyone loved it.

Christian Stevenson was a massive hit on the microphone and kept things moving at a good pace. Bert’s Mum & Dad kept MDB in check at the bar and Team Tote excelled. Ruth used all her sales experience to sell raffle tickets and lots of other people pitched in. The real unsung heroes of the night were Bert’s sister in law (Mags) and niece (Sophie) who did all the horrible backroom work for the bar… they were brilliant!

As well as the feedback, there were 5 little things that showed the night was a success:

1. That it took 3 of us 45 minutes to put more than 1000 empties in the bottle bank the next day;

2. That we made £3,000 profit (£1,500 for the club and £1,500 for Court Meadow School)

3. That 180+ people came … and stayed

4. That it was the biggest profit making and largest event ever put on by Cuckfield Town FC in their 138 year history;

5. That Bert, MDB and I felt the need to literally pat ourselves on the back the following day

Erudite isn’t really a word you would normally associate with Mick Barnes, but erudite he was in his observations about the last race of the night (I’ll paraphrase):

“If someone walked in off the street now and saw the hall in near darkness, lots of people shouting, a man on stage in his pants and pig racing on the screen, they would quickly conclude that this was a night just for locals”.

Thanks to everyone for their support and help on the night and keep an eye out for the write-up in the Middy.

These guys got lucky with a pig on the night!

07/12/2009 - St. Pauls Training

Guys,

Tuesday 15th December is the last Tuesday night training at St. Paul's School. We have now secured 2/3rds of the 3G pitch at Downlands on a Thursday evening from 8-9pm.

The Committee have been seeking to obtain 2/3rds at Downlands for some time. As you know the surface is far superior to St. Paul's and having 2 pitches enables the Managers/Coaches to split the group to do team specific drills if desired or to have a larger surface on which a larger group can train rather than having players standing about.

There will be no training on Thursday 24th December or 31st December for obvious reasons. Back to business on 7th January.

 

REMINDER - THIS SATURDAY 12TH DECEMBER IS XMAS CURRY NIGHT OUT AFTER FOOTBALL.

Cheers,

Bert

02/11/2009 - Club Objectives Unleashed!

Hopefully everyone is starting to get a whiff of the positive atmosphere around the Club and it's hoped that all club members will want to be part of a successful and ambitious Club.
 
As a committee we have decided to put in place a number of objectives for the Club to aspire to over the next 5 years. To achieve them we will need everyone to be aware of them and help us get there!

They can be found by clicking on "Club" in the left-hand menu and then "Objectives" on the drop down list.
 
It's a really exciting time for the Club and I know from having played football for (too) many years that there's nothing more enjoyable than being successful. We now have the framework and the direction to be able to do that. Make sure that you're a part of it!!
 
If you've got any questions about the objectives or how the Club is being run then feel free to ask me or another one of the committee members.
 
Thanks
Nolan Mortimer

18/10/2009 - What A Night!

A massive thank you to Matt DB, Nolan and the mighty Mick for putting on a brilliant Question of Sport quiz last night.

I'm sure that everyone who attended will agree it was a tremendous success and was immense fun! Although our mighty team was beaten by one point by three blokes in dodgy knitwear, we can have no grudges as we lie back on our classy American Express towels next summer...
 
There were many amazing moments; Barnesy thinking that the idea of a microphone is to SHOUT into it and talk for hours and hours before asking a single question; Jim, Jim, Jim, Jim, Jim and the real Jim dancing to "Thriller" behind the bar; The Original Colts recreating the "Eye of the Tiger" dance in the world's smallest place; My wife agreeing to pick Me, Malc and Rog up 45 mins later and then coming in for a sing-song.... The sing-song!!! Matt DB singing "Wonderwall" with such passion, and the Elvis tribute.... Jack winning the Cucumber contest, only slightly bettered by Bert's unbelievable demo... Chris making it late on after a hard week looking far too dashing and singing like a drunk man when sober... Shorty's bewildered look throughtout the entire quiz as he realised being in a team with two girls may not be the best move...
 
Well done again to the organisers, and well done to everyone for turning out.
 
What a night!!!!

30/09/2009 - At His Peak!

Jim Beale has just got back from climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in Kenya/Tanzania. Some of you may have followed the fuss made on Radio 1 earlier this year when Chris Moyles and other minor celebs did the same thing. What it illustrated very well was just how difficult it is to climb and how much effort it takes to complete the task.

Jim put in the effort on behalf of the 'Cure Parkinson's Trust' so that others like his father, who has suffered with the disease for three years, might be helped further.

It would be great if our members could show Jimmy some support in recognition of his efforts and donate something as sponsorship. The easiest way to give what you can afford is via:

Well done Jim! Welcome back!

07/09/2009 - Chez Named Club Captain

One further appointment proposed at last week's EGM was the new role of CLUB CAPTAIN.

A number of candidates were discussed and following a Committee vote I am pleased to advise that TOM CHEESMUR was appointed.

Tom will act as a figurehead for the players and will provide a vital link between players (across all sides) and the Committee. Tom will support Committee policies and visions and is someone that the players can go to if they have any problems, issues, feedback or ideas they want to give the Committee. He can then filter back to Nolan (Chairman) or other Committee members if there is something that needs to be addressed. 

Tom has been with the Club 6 years and has played 86 times scoring twice.

Please join me in congratulating Tom on this honarary role.
