Veterans Football report to 1 May 08
May 9, 2008 in Football
The current five a side season finished for the Old Bordenians Veterans on 1st May. We believe that we finished 6th out of 8 teams in division 2 which is not bad for a team consisting of players largely over the age of 50. More accurately, it’s not bad for a team consisting of large players over the age of 50. Having spent most of the season at the bottom of the table we had a good run towards the end of the season and picked up quite a few points and I think 6th place is about right.
The reason that we cannot be certain of our final position is that the League is still in turmoil following the mid season resignation of the one man who ran the whole thing. One of his roles was to update the website tables but those who stepped in to administer the League until the end of the season haven’t got around to doing that yet; nor have they provided a league table since February. So we’re all in the dark but all will become clear at the AGM in a couple of weeks time. We can then post the final Division 1 and 2 leagues onto this website.

2008 Old Bordenians Association Dinner Report & Photos
May 5, 2008 in Events, Pictures
This year we aimed for an environmentally friendly meal and a neutral carbon footprint. Judge for yourselves and see the full Environmental Report below (photos of the evening can be found at the end of the report):-
All food remaining was recycled – we hope the boys enjoyed their shepherd’s pie for Monday’s lunch.
Smoking was banned – even in the bike shelter.
All wine left was mixed together, rebottled and sold on Ebay.
John Lifton, who had travelled from New Zealand, intended cycling back.
Our numbers were boosted on the night to 96 by 5 unexpected guests, whose cheque and forms had not arrived, despite being hand delivered! Fortunately a quick word with the caterer, five seats and a table and normal service was resumed. If you thought you were lacking a roast potato or slice of beef, now you know why. It goes without saying that the caterer was instructed to ensure that Alan and I received full portions!
