Fully twenty-seven seasoned warts celebrated the passing of the 13/14 wartin’ season, including a fair mix of the old, the new and the indifferent. A light dusting of snow lent proceedings a rather pleasant feel, whilst the now regular newbies, Adrian, Edwin, Fiona, Josh and David L showed considerable restraint Read more
So opined the evergreen Mr Fulton whilst bemoaning the fact that he only recognised half the faces in the pub. Meanwhile, a quietly recovering Steve Martin and our antipodean cousin Clive L discussed the dangers of kangaroos – especially if they jump through your windscreen and proceed to disembowel you Read more
Strictly in the interests of gender equality (where were you Mr Cole?), leadership of this evening’s Southern Wart from Hathersage Swimming Pool was assumed by Ms P. Collier.
