The players Trip held their 100 Club Draw last Saturday night with the eventual winner being Daryl Fox. Congratulations to Daryl, who I think may have donated some part of the prize back to the footy trip fund which eventually saw his "son-in-law" have his mane clipped back to expose his large ears.
The night was run impeccably by the master of ceremonies bobby Bouchier, interspersed with social discourse of the highest order and reasonablly priced drinks. The draw was conducted with the majority of ticket holders present to witness the numbers being drawn from the barrel.
As the last few tickets were drawn and the stakes become higher, those who had there numbers pulled out put on quite a show. There were dummies all over the floor and "toys around the cot" as they realised that their chances of winning the pot of gold were gone. Quite amusing for all the on-lookers (most of whom had already lost their chance early). Special mention here to Tank, Wenmo, Roo and Fennell (Scanners unlucky)
A fun night for all who attended, culminating in the shearing of Wenmo, who had pledged to have his head shaved for a $500 donation to the trip. The jug was passed around to get the required amount and I think Bobby put in a large amount that was already in the trip fund for the boys to get it over the line. To that point I reckon they had raised $24.50. Wenmo went thru with his pledge and the clippers magically appeared for the deed to be done there and then. Halfway through the haircut his darl Stacy was contacted by phone and his over-exposed ears were given a stinging. Not a happy camper!! Last seen poor old Wenmo was complaining about cold ears at training and the boys were calling him Shrek!.
