Our
traditional Ladies Night was held at Egypt Mill in Nailsworth this
year. The event acknowledges the often behind-the-scenes support
that our partners and Circle/Tangent have given us throughout the
year - and an excuse to have ball!
Wotton
41 Club requested our assistance in fielding an away team for the
41 Club Skittles Cup. What they didn't tell us was that they didn't
want to win! Sadly we did, so they're through to the next round.
Great night at the Dog & Fox in Ashley.
Gordon
Tonks used to be the landlord of the Star Inn in Wotton, and was
a lifelong supported of both Round Table and 
Running
the Round Table Barbecue and selling glows at the Fountain Crescent
Open Day.
Christmas
party at the newly refurbished Town Hall. Somehow a vote got passed
that it would be Fish 'n Chips this year instead of the traditional
Christmas Fare!
Find
out what we got up to on our Vice Chairman's "Vice" weekend
to Palma, Mallorca. Full report 
Thanks
to Chaz Wright for a very informative tour and talk on the art of
brewing and putting up with 15 drunkards in his cellar. My favourite
was the Uley Bitter, but we also sampled the Laurie Lee's Bitter,
Old Spot, and Pig's Ear. The beers are made from local spring water.
Very nice <hic!>, and a great shame there aren't any outlets
in Wotton!
Brewing
on this site started as Price's Brewery in 1833, at a time
when there were 13 pubs in Uley(!). Closed in 1900, the brewery
survived the planning vandalism of the 1960's when permission was
granted to demolish it, and was restored and reopened in 1985. It
has a capacity of 60 barrels per week, and now being Grade-I listed,
can't be expanded. 
A
calm and peaceful evening canoeing along the Gloucester Sharpness
canal - to a pub (of course) - and back again by the light of a
beautiful sunset.

Despite
dastardly tactics by the opposition, Wotton's 'A' team (Ian and
Darren) power home to a well deserved victory, winning the Evesham
Raft Race!
At
The Kingshill in Dursley. Sadly, we were beaten by the narrowest
of margins by 41 Club! Something to do with the fact that "borrowed"
some of our players, I reckon!
Despite
Rob's best efforts to break the machinery and Dave's attempt at
the slowest-moving strike ball record, a great evening out at the
Megabowl in Gloucester.
After
a disturbing moment when we thought Dave P's impromptu talk was
going to be a striptease, in fact he kept us fascinated with a talk
on hill walking in Skye and the sort of equipment he uses.
Unfortunately
we didn't compete! But we were treated to a very interesting talk
on the subject by
