Recent and Upcoming Social Activities - 2006

Saturday 4th March 2006 The Tennant Invitation Masters Golf day.

To celebrate FBT's big 4-0 aN inviatational golf day was arranged at Caldicotts newly refurbished 18 hole short course.  Jim was the organiser of the event and for some unknown reason organised the tee off time to be at ruddy 8am.  Those silly enough to get up at 7 and participate were as follows,

1. Jimmy
2. Sims
3. Pies
4. KBJ
5. Teddy
6. Battersea (French)
7. Mabel
8. Brimmy
9. Brains
10. Payne
11. FBT

Unfortunately a heavy overnight frost prohibited the group from starting at 8am but thankfully enabled the group to get some much needed practice in on the driving range before starting. 

Despite the freezing temperatures and the greens being stone cold hard the group was ushered to the first tee 30 minutes later at 08:30.  The atmosphere was full of tension and there was a big squabble about who should play with who.  Finally it was decided to split the group up into three groups with the pro's up first (Sims, Teddy and KBJ) next up was the part timers (Jim, Payne, French and FBT) with the last group being the no hopers consisting of Brimmy, Brains, Pies and Mabel.

On the first tee there was a big crowd watching and Sims stepped up first and showed his fellow team mates just how good he was, with ball ending up on the fringe of the green.  To be fair everybody had a solid tee shot on the first except for the old man Brimmy who cracked under the pressure and boomeranged his shot into the trees to his right just 5 meters in front of him.

The group then split up and met up at the end of the round to discuss what everybody had ended up with. Below is the end score board

Position	Name	Score
1	Tim Sims	71
2	Mark Johnson	77
3	Richard Kerrison	80
=	Keith Brown Jnr	80
5	James Kerrison	81
=	Paul French	81
7	Simon Kerrison	85
8	Chris Tennant	90
9	Brian Kerrison	95
10	Andy Myhill	750
n/a	Liam Payne	Gave up!

So Captain Sims starts the season with a bang!! but can he take this form out onto the cricket pitch...that's the real quiz?? Only time will tell I guess.  Please check the photo page to check the photos taken on the day (thanks go to FBT) which includes a photo of Mr Sims proudest moment...... receiving his Tennants Invitational Masters Green Jacket.

One last mention of the day has to go to Mr. Andy Myhill for his courageous effort on the golf course.  Not only was its Andy 's first effort of trying to play golf (well I hope it was) but on the second tee he was unfortunately tripped by a rabbit whilst walking down the steep vertical slope which the hole possess.  The momentum caused by walking down the slope resulted in him flipping a double somersault in the air and landing dangerously on his left ankle.  Screams of pain were heard as far away as Beirut and after a brief 10 minutes of raging laughter by his fellow golfing partners (Mabel, Pies & Old Man Brimmy) they suddenly realised he may be in real trouble!!!  My ankle My ankle were the screams!!!  Brimmy with the wise head then sprinted (well jogged) to the club house to call the Air Ambulance to try and save Myhills left leg.  Mabel and Pies comforted the whimpering Myhill who seemed to be drifting in and out of consciousness.....  Then as the sirens of the ambulances became louder and louder and the helicopter started to land, out of nowhere Myhill got up and started to walk again!!!  It's a miracle Pies and Mabel thought!!  Brains unaware of what just had happened it seems, then just shrugged his shoulders and said 'well it didn't really hurt that much....but I felt a little burn down my ankle so didn't want to risk anything!!!!!! ' Oh dear, the whole of the Norfolk Ambulance Service was then apoligised to for the inconveneince caused and the boys went on to play the round of golf.  Needless to say Mabel had lost his putting head after this incident and he putted worse than at Magalluf....yes it's possible!!  Brimmy was just awlful as usual which Pies took full advantage of and amazingly won their group.  Well done Pies!!  Brains never fully recovered from his compound fracture to the left ankle unfortunately and hobbled a score of 750.

Stories of Past Achievements - 2004 and beyond

Over the past few years the Caister Cricketers have managed to not only perform badly on the pitch itself, but actually perform even worse while 'socially networking' all over the country together - both the night before a big game, and as you would expect, after it as well....

Step forward Brains Myhill.  After a night out in Red Square 4 years ago, he managed to tell Jim and Ted (who were accompanying him) no less than 25,000 times how much he used to drink in the RAF and that 25 pint night was nothing to a man of his stature.  However, his drinking ability was not put to the test on this occasion as the boys decided to call it an early night after 3 bottle's of WKD Blue.  It was therefore extremely alarming for Ted and Jim looking on, when after walking home, the 3 of them had reached the Town Hall when Myhill couldn't control himself any longer.  He erupted like a volcano being attacked by a tornado, covering Traffic Lights, the Bus Stop, almost all of the Town Hall and its partnering buildings with his own blue infested puke.  After reaching home it is then reported he managed to cover his front room, the carpet, the stairs, the walls and the whole bathroom with a projectile vomit of 15 yards before collapsing into his own mess.  He has not been spotted out in Yarmouth since....

Chris Tennant.  Brittania Pier. TWICE.  As if drinking yourself into complete oblivion - breaking ur ribs after failing to cushion your blow onto the wooden floor boards in 2001 wasn't bad enough, the boy went one further in 2002 by necking bottle upon bottle of tequilla, launching himself like a kite off the Pier, smashing his ankle to pieces in the sand upon landing, and needing a steel plate inserted to enable him to walk again.....

Mabel Kerrison, Friday night, Chelmsford 2003.  A night out in their Caister Cricket Club jumpers for Jim, Ted, Mabel, FBT and Paul Robert Green French was a strange one.  Not only did Mabel wake up on a roundabout, his teammates were alarmed to find him collapsed in the bog asleep in his own puke with his boxers on back to front the following morning.  An answer has never been forthcoming on how.....

2004 has since seen a night in Cambridge before the North Elmham game - see match report, where the boys again donned their now famous Caister Cricket Club jumpers, and the night was fairly short of incident apart from Mabel snogging a 4 foot dwarf from Scotland called Shoda, and Paul Robert Green French spending at least half an hour in the Little Chef bogs on the way home - those that were there though he hand unwittingly killed himself after smelling what he had apparently dispensed of....
