Wyvern Rugby Club Dinner 2002

Once again the catering team at the Wyvern did us proud and, though there were fewer numbers this year, an excellent time was had by all.
Following are a few pictures to remember the evening by.

Tinny was hindered throughout his speech by a fart machine! This had been located under the presentation table in front of which Tinny stood. This remote control device was being operated by an 'unknown' person (at the time), but ...

Doing his best not to look like Gerry Halliwell

 

... the culprit was caught on film.

And more abuse came from the audience!

Here we see Jim Morris in his now infamous 'Tinny Hair and Headband' (last seen on Tour during the Torquay match when the ref actually had to ask if it was a wig?)

Tinny! Tinny! I've got the head band but do I need to be using a conditioner too?

There were lots of players and supporters there to celebrate the end of one season and the beginning of the new.
You can smell that one, can you?

 

 

Taz Bailey amusing Paula Wren ...

I reckon 4 or 5 months and I should be over this muscle pull

 

 

... before becoming engaged in a more serious conversation with Paul England.

Interestingly Paul was able to go the whole evening without pulling or straining a single muscle. Now he has to put this into a match situation.

And there were lots more people enjoying themselves:

Then of course there were the presentation of this season's awards:
Clubman of the Year

This year's voting made it a two horse race with an eventual tie for the top award.

The honour was shared between Team Captain, Tinny, and Club Secretary, Martin Howe.

Tour Pratt

There were several nominations this year with two out and out leaders.

Firstly there was John Atkins who, for those who were there on tour, did make a COMPLETE PRATT of himself on tour.

But there was no surprises about this year's winner. Here we have a photo of Jim Morris doing a re-enactment of the moment which clinched the award for 2002.

This short skit was titled "£10". 

 

The winner was, of course, Dougie James.

Back Player of the Year went to top try scorer Warren Lewis

I'd like to say I'm surprised to win this award; but I'm not!  Oh, and I'll see Tinny outside later to explain why he told my mother about me getting locked up on tour last year!

Forward Player of the Year went to back row all-rounder John Atkins

Thanks for the award and if Warren would like to borrow the gloves later he can!

(You might notice John's boxing gloves: these were courtesy of Tinny in order to protect his hands the next time he chooses to punch a wall!)

And finally we have a couple of questions?
Who is Tinny having to wrestle his tankard (previously full of port) away from? Did Tinny remember to say thank you to Dee for putting up with another season of phone calls and no weekends away? Click here to find out
