Change Of Kick-Off Re:Memorial Game At Dorking FC - 7th September 2008

Hi Everyone, due to an F.A. Vase game being played in the afternoon we have had to change the time of kick-off for the game between Brockham and Ockley. It will now be 7.00pm under floodlights on this Sunday 7th September 2008. Hopefully this won't change your plans too much so look forward to seeing you all on the day. X

Memorial Football Match For Our Lukey - Sept 7th 2008

Hi All, I can't believe I have to write this even after seven months of Lukey boy not being here. For Sal and I it will be very nice to see everyone but very tough when it is all over. The under 15 boys of Brockham and Ockley of last season will battle it out for a trophy in honour of our boy. It will be held at Dorking Football Club on Sunday 7th September 2008, kick off 11.15am. I'm going to try and referee the game which I hope I can enjoy as well as remembering what Luke would do in certain football situations. As I said before it would be great to see everyone before and after in the bar. There maybe a small admission fee which will go towards the total raised for the Air Ambulance. Just for me to say let's hope it's a good day!

Holiday in the Sun

We've recently got back from a holiday with my family in a very hot Spain. Julia and Alan very generously hired a large villa near Marbella and invited both sides of the family (Al's side the first week and Ju's side the second.) Neil and I flew out there on 31st July and my sisters and Mum all arrived within a few days. Ju & Al's boys, Chris and Doug spent most of the time bombing us in the pool as we lay relaxing on the sunbeds. Little darlings. We barely saw a cloud all week and the temperature spent most of the time in the high 90's. It was just what we all needed, a bit of time out relaxing, eating, drinking, reading and swimming. Obviously some highs and lows but being together was lovely. Neil seemed to have a challenge every day, went running with Al, Chris and Nikkie several times. He swam in the sea out to a buoy a long way out, despite the fact we all told him not to!! He lifted Alan onto his shoulders in the swimming pool and spent the next few days with backache. He played Alan at golf and was kindly given a handicap, which Al probably regretted as they finished even. Good to have a change of scenery, lovely company and a time to think and relax. Now back home where there are plenty of clouds and the temperature is in the mid 60's. It's lovely to be home! Wouldn't want to live anywhere else though.
