Chaps and chapettes
In case you haven’t already noticed via the website or message board, the prestigious 2008 MUFTA awards and dinner will be taking place at the Murrayfield Hotel on Friday 17 October – arrive around 7pm for food at 7.30pm.
Dinner will be of the three-course variety, with three or four choices available for each course, at bar menu prices rather than a fixed price so you only pay for what you eat – should be the right side of 20 quid for three courses unless you’ve got very expensive tastes. Once the menu options are confirmed I’ll publish these on the message board – hopefully in the next few days.
I need to confirm numbers with the hotel in the next few days so please could you let me know asap whether you want to come along. Partners and sundry hangers-on are welcome.
Now to the important business – the awards nominations. The “sensible” awards – 1s-4s players of the year, MDCC most improved player etc – will be decided by the playing committee. But the equally coveted “silly” awards, such as the on/off field comedy moments of the year, will be voted for on the night using a ground-breaking voting technique that involves putting your hand in the air.
This is where you come in. The awards categories are listed on a Word document that I've circulated by email - if you haven't received it please let me know. Please fill in your nominations and return them to me by email to imsorryihavent@cluemail.com no later than Wednesday 15 October. If you’ve got any new awards categories to suggest then please do so – there’s space for this at the bottom of the form.
Alternatively, you can put your nominations on this thread, feel free and I’ll pick them up from here. Nothing obscene or (too) defamatory please. Categories are:
- Comedy Moment of the Year (on the park)
- Comedy Moment of the Year (off the park)
- Worst Dressed Muf
- Worst Mufs Haircut
- Champagne Moment of the Year
- Best Tea
- Most "cricket spirited"/ sporting opposition team
- Worst Excuse for not Playing
- The “MEDIC!!” award for injury or illness in, or around, the combat zone
- Most Impressive Beer Belly Award
- “Daybus Memorial Toy-Throwing Award” for best cricket-related loss of temper
- Other award categories welcome - please feel free to nominate!
Oh, and please bear in mind that Lifetime Achievement Awards were given out last year to Iain Martin (Worst Haircut) and Martin “Vesty” Ward (Worst Dressed Muf). So you’ll need to use your imagination to find some new, equally worthy winners. (Astonishingly, Mr Belly did not receive a lifetime achievement award for the beer belly category so you are free to nominate him again.)
Cheers, hope to see you on the 17th.
