For those querying Novice of the Year - the rule was that players who were no higher ranked than Novice on Tornado or Amateur on Garlando at the start of the year or in their first NW event were eligible.

Just a note to say that this Friday 24 Dec being Xmas eve, the regular Friday session is being brought forward to Thursday 23rd - the word 'Curry' seems to have been mentioned somewhere I think...

Post by **Boris** » Wed Dec 29, 2004 3:09 am

Had a call from Les to say most of the regulars will be down the Rainbow on Thursday 30th and not New Years Eve on Friday.

Not to say the Rainbow wouldn't make a preferable alternative to staying home and being sad on NYE, but I've got other plans too

Brian · Post by **Brian** » Sun Jan 02, 2005 3:39 am

is friday the most popular night for foos at the rainbow?

Advance Notice that next Sunday (16 Jan) will be the Rainbow Foosball Club's annual

Curry Night

A mission to the curry mile in Rusholme starts in the Rainbow at 9pm.

Can people say if they are coming so we can have an estimate of numbers.

And I think Mark is too. So there's us four. (I think.)

I'll go if you go (I think)

Can I be cheeky and suggest that a 9pm start in the Rainbow is a bit late? Was the plan to foos first and then go for a curry, or just meet there and leave at 9pm (more likely 10pm from my Rainbow experiences!).

Given that kind of start time, whether I go straight home, or stay in Town for some drinkys, it will be a very late finish.

I'll come anyway, but just wondered why we're not meeting earlier.
