Thrudball 2013 - 10-11/08/13

Guys did you know it's only 36 weeks till Thrudball 2013??

I'm going to try to put together a little committee of helpers and try to arrange regular meetings every 6 weeks.

The first being 15/01/13 (30 weeks to go then!)...

would appreciate any help you guys could give organising this years Tourney.


Have ALREADY been trying to sort out Caterers...

I would personally like to have Turners Pies do food for this year.

If by some quirk of fate you DON'T know, they won the British Pie Awards 2011!!!

Have got a quote for £600 for pie and mash main meal saturday, plus buffets sat and sunday for 40 people.

Whilst this is almost twice what we paid last year, he has knocked a quid off the prices and will pay the VAT himself. Plus their stuff is AMAZING, hot OR cold...

Plus the main meal comes all boxed up so no washing up! Plus they are local in case they forget us (remember Joint Effort in 2010?).


I would suggest if we go this route we up prices by a fiver to maintain some margin on the food.

Please vote below by 6/12/12 whether you think £15 for Award-Winning food all weekend is a Good / Bad idea.

Lol early but hay. I'm in as always an urm pie. Let me no what u want me to do

an extra fiver for award winning pies doesn't sound too bad to me

you may want to post on the NAF and get the dates listed too

Turners are awesome!

I've asked Mike if he can get his dad to talk to Turners to get a confirmation email off them, as so far they've not confirmed back to me...plus Mike'd dad knows the owner well...

Yo! The Exiles expansion continues! Where will I not go to post and say hey to fellow BB'ers?


Frank, I was trying to find a date for Thrudd 2013, and the power of Google brought me here

Is the date here good? Can I pimp your weekend to the other Exiles?

Thrudball is 10-11th August, 2nd Weekend in August, Mate, same as last year.

Excellent. I'll start rallying the troops. I've already got 4 or 5


And an extra £5 for good food is ok :nomnomnom:

Booked again when I'm away.

Anyone would think you do it on purpose Frank.
