Graham also had one article with him called
History of Scottish casual scene and Aberdeen soccer casuals it is worth
going into the internet and calling up it is at
www.hooligans.cz/in/eng/docs/clanek01.htm it is worth reading.
POTY
This year the player of the year vote is
being done on line at present on the London Hibs website. As usual you
will need to vote for 1st 2nd and 3rd.
Votes will need to be in by the 15th October 2002. We will
decide after the votes are in to what is happening after the voting.
BURNS
NIGHT
The Burns night is to be held on the 18th
January 2003 same place as last year. More details on prices etc are to
follow Alex is at present organising a good few guests.
For anyone who is interested……..
Comedy night suggestion
The main act is Dougie Dunlop (a very funny
guy and a Hibee), he's going to let me know
his support act shortly. We'll probably have a few pipers as
well for atmosphere.
It'll take place upstairs at the Fountain's
Abbey Pub on Friday 25th October, doors
opening around 8.30pm. Directions: come out of Paddington
Station and turn left down Praed Street, the Fountain's Abbey is
on the right. Tickets are only £5 but we
would prefer that they are bought in advance
so that we know how many we can sell on the night. I've had a very
positive response generally and don't want hundreds of people
turning up on the night and being disappointed
(numbers are of course limited). The tickets
haven't been printed yet but when they are (within the next week or
two, I'll let you know), they'll be available from
David Munn
If this gig is successful, then I have plans
to invite other comics. Hence, I'm keen to
broaden the appeal as much as possible and see if a few
such gigs can be sustained.
Next
meeting will be held at the Willam Wallace on the 12th
November 2002.
