There is a list of possible tournaments on the Diary Page. It seems as though there will be no big European tournament this year and so a lot of people seem to be deciding to go to the Mondiali Antirazzisti. Dashboard is also taking a team to Freiburg. There is also a tournament in Argentina next January if anybody fancies a trip south of the equator, Punky is the man to speak to about this.

A weekend of camping and kicking for the kids is planned for the bank holiday weekend at the end of May. It will be at Beaches near Chepstow. Sue and Coops are the best people to talk to about this.

There is talk that the Cowfolk should put on a tournament next year to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the club. However, if there is tournament congestion it is possible that we may go for a 21st birthday party instead. Watch this space.

The Club Calendar has broken even but there are still some left. They are reduced to £5 each and can be bought from The Plough. Nige still has some attractive enamel badges left.

The end of season bash will probably be on the weekend of the 20th May. Eddy is the man to talk to about this, if you can get a word in edgeways that is.

Will says that the Bumper Book of Cowboys’ History will probably be finished by the Autumn so look forward to a glittering literary event to launch it.

Jess says that she is standing down as Chair of the Full Club. If anybody wants this position they should make themselves known.

Finally, congratulations to Stroddy and Mrs Stroddy who became proud parents of a son when the stork visited last week. However, Zoey seems to be hanging on for extra time and penalties.
