The financial year ended with C4U being up by about 55% on last year - which is encouraging but need to keep driving forward. Now working on the business plan for the next five years.
Apart from that I was also doing a stack of work on web sites and generally working all hours - except for a business luncheon function on Tuesday which was held at Missenden Abbey - a very nice location indeed and caught up with a few people.
Friday night was the start of a superb hockey weekend. It was the Junior awards evening held in the Marquee at the sports club. The extended Watts / Birger Tomlinson family were all present and correct and a very good evening of presentations and dancing was had by all. Unluckily we won on the raffle and Jamie took away a great big arrangement of lollipops. We were so tired we didn't quite get up at the same time as R & J on Saturday morning and their breakfast was .....
However, I'm pretty sure this had no bearing on this next picture.
Rebecca's second top tooth finally fell out swiftly following the other one. She also has two brand new teeth which have surfaced at the behind her current ones - quite a flurry. Amazing the trauma of them coming through only 4 years ago and then falling out seamlessly (almost). Rebecca's tooth fell out in the morning. However I was rather distracted by the afternoon's hockey game.
It turned out that although the 3rd XI were relegated a few weeks ago, the relegation line had recently moved and if, against the odds, we could snatch another 3 points against an always well organised Henley team we could unbelievable stay up. I've been playing for about 15 years now and am almost 40, the odd injury - surely it shouldn't be bothering me anymore. However, I was so nervous all morning and by the time of the game just stacked full of adrenaline it was absurd. Anyway, we only went and won 4-3 - a magnificent team performance from everyone on the pitch great passing defending and finishing. I was euphoric all afternoon and into the evening (and whilst writing about it now!!) - the evening of the end of season dinner dance.
The season's finale was a very very good evening - well done to Rowe for organising another great one. Didn't catch up with nearly enough people who I only briefly said hello's too - also thanks to Beanie and Bill for dropping Sarah and me off and picking us up - though I foolishly left my jacket at the clubhouse durgh.... I didn't take any decent pictures of the evening - but there are a load on Facebook from other people.
Sunday was a much quieter day, mowed the lawn, did some work, had a roast lunch and took R & J for a short walk.
Also managed to help out Martin for a couple of hours over the weekend who moved house - well done to him and Mel.
