Title: Fresher of The Year
Post by: Lucy on April 01, 2009, 12:34:46
Hey hey!

Another very important date to put in your diaries is FRESHER OF THE YEAR!

This shall take place on the 7th of April.

On this date we shall decide which fresher is the best.

So if you haven't sweetened us up enough already...it's time to dish out the sugar!

Hope to see you all there!
It's a super fun night.

Sorry dude, it's already been decided. I'm not saying that you didn't win - I don't know the answer and the committee are usually pretty good at keeping the results close to their chests. I'm just saying that it's too late to brown-nose your way into getting the trophy!


Also, let's see if we can break the trophy even more quickly this year!

 :D I wasn't trying to gain favor. If I was, it's a half-arsed attempt.

I think we all should win!!

And that was an even worse attempt at being humble man  :P

Keep telling yourself that Rog.

Leighton, you're a pathetic little worm. I'd imagine you're in with a shout.

Cliona Pierse was the original recipient in 1995.  The cup was donated to the Club by the parents of James Boylan in his memory.  He was a former Captain who died in 1995 after suffering a brain haemorrhage.  He did his bit to make the Club what it is today, and even though most of us would never have met him we shouldn't forget his relevance here, in much the same way that we would like future recipients of the Dee Cup to know about her.

Anyone wanna fill in the remaining names?  In fact, I'll award a handsome cheque* to anyone who can get all the names from 1995 to 2008 correct.







*Cheques will not be honoured. Terms and Conditions apply.

Money? Who said anything about money? Cormac said that he would give you a cheque. They're totally different. One's a piece of paper with numbers on it that's worth something, the other's a piece of paper with numbers on it that's worth as much as you trust the person who gave it to you...

Good news Caz!  Your cheque is in the post!

If you want you can buy me a few drinks to show your gratitude.  You needn't wait until the cheque arrives though - you know how slow the post is these days....

Hey Caz

I came home last night to find a wet envelope sticking out of my letterbox, and a Dutch Gold-coloured puddle on my hall floor.

You wouldn't happen to know anything about that would you?

Thanks, folks.

I'm pretty sure I also deserve the "biggest-dry-shite-of-a-fresher-of-the-year" award. ;D

I think the others made up for me, though...
