MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR

Wishing everyone associated with Walking Football at the Soccerdome a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Special thanks go to our very own "Fab Four".


They look after our every whim (well almost) throughout the year and boy do they earn their Christmas break. Well Done Girls. See you all again next year.

ANOTHER GREAT WALKING FOOTBALL CHRISTMAS PARTY

Yes - it was that time of year again on Saturday 16th December 2017, for the old fogies to have their annual Christmas Party celebrations. 



Once most people had arrived, Kel set about his usual baffling quizzes, followed by Play Your Cards Right and Stand Up Bingo. Kel has been asked not to do Stand Up Bingo next year, as some of the older guests (and one younger one) found it difficult to stand for any length of time.



Play Your Cards Right did go on for quite a while, but as Stefan quite rightly pointed, the problem lay with the Ali Shuffle.



The lashings of real ale went down well, especially after partaking in Bec's wonderful (exclusive to the Soccerdome) scouse. It was disappointing that there was no jelly and ice cream, as most guests had forgotten to bring their Poligrip.



We would have liked David Walliams to come do a stand up spot but instead, mainly due to running out of funds, we had to settle for Brian "The Unicorn" Williams instead. In fact most people didn't notice the difference.



A lot of the guests had been allowed to stay out especially late, providing that they guaranteed their carers that usual medication would still be taken. Although one lady actually tried to insist that Vodka Slushies were her usual medication.



All in all, it was a very entertaining evening. a big thank you to Bec, the manageress and to the two pole dancers, Sarah and Ale. Also thanks to Bec's better half Jason for doing the disco and to Kel for all his usual entertainment.



But most of all a big thank you for the great turn out for our third annual Christmas party.



"You've all done very well", said young Mr Grace.

BETTER LATE THAN NEVER

Many apologies for not keeping this blog up to date. It's been a funny old year. However I have been keeping things posted on the facebook page. New name for the blog as well considering we are now well under the Soccerdome banner. Plus it's a pleasure to be treated so well by our four Soccerdome heroines. I will try to keep the blog more up to date but in the meantime here is a clip from Roddie's classic film "The Old Men Strike Back".
