May was the undisputed favourite. This was because:-

  1. nobody understood the question,
  2. Old Boys who preferred March had boycotted the meal,
  3. there was a danger that the Dinner would take place on both dates,

Mention was also made of Dave Palmer and Ryan Jarrett for bringing the web site to life, and Alan Snelling and Peter Lusted for organising the Dinner.

Football Report – 19th June 2009.

Posted Monday July 6th 2009

Having re-read the last football report (presented to the OBA committee and included in the minutes of the meeting of 6 March 2009 – to be found in ‘The Boring Bits’ section of this site) which was uncharacteristically optimistic and ventured to suggest that we had the very real prospect of finishing 3rd of the Sittingbourne 5-a-side League (Div 2) I have to report, and this will come as no surprise to the many avid readers of past football reports, that in fact we finished 6th or to the more unfeeling, last.
