Dear Members,

         Another short edition for you this month..

CLUB NEWS

OLD CLUB BOSSES

This is a final reminder to you all that if you wish to purchase any of our old club bosses then let me know by no later than Wednesday 25^th July. After this date they will be disposed of as we need the space in the hall for their replacements.

CLUB TROPHIES

I am still awaiting the return of the following trophies:

Senior Darts :   Billy

Junior Darts  :   Jack

NEW MEMBER

A warm welcome to Adelle  Fleming who has joined our ranks after a prolonged period of shooting. Some of you may know her as “Mrs. Gareth”!

LASSWADE EUROPEAN POSTAL LEAGUE

As the round for May did not take place and as I have not heard from Mark, I will now assume that this year’s League is duly cancelled. It’s probably just as well as due to poor outdoor turnouts we would be hard pushed to get enough experienced members to take part.

DATES FOR YOUR DIARY

All events are at Lasswade unless indicated otherwise.

 

JUNE         A quiet month.

JULY         As for June

AUGUST   Wednesday 29^th   Last outdoor session for 2007.

A nd Finally:

Two guys were walking through the woods when they came across this big deep hole.

“WoW… that looks deep” “Sure does… Toss a few pebbles in there and see how deep it is.”

They pick up a few pebbles and throw them in and wait…No noise, “Jeez…That is REALLY deep… Here …throw one of those great big rocks down there, those should make a noise.”

They pick up a few football-sized stones and throw them in the hole and wait…and wait…nothing.

They look at each other in amazement. One gets a determined look on his face and says, ”Hey over here in the weeds, there’s a railway sleeper, help me carry it over here. When we toss that  sucker in, it’s GOTTA make some noise.” The two drag the heavy sleeper over to the hole and toss it in. Not a sound comes from the hole. Suddenly, out of the nearby woods a goat appears, running like the wind. I t rushes toward the two men, and then right past them, running as fast as it’s legs will carry it. Suddenly it leaps in the air and onto the hole. The two men are astonished by what they’ve just seen…Then: out of the woods comes a farmer who spots the two men and ambles over. “Hey…you two guys see my goat out here?”…You bet we did! Craziest thing I ever seen! It came running like crazy and just jumped into this hole!” “Nah.” Says the farmer, “that couldn’t have been MY goat. My goat was chained to a railway sleeper.”

 

So ends this edition. Next edition will appear in August/ September.
