Vp dinner 26th November     

Dear Vice President (current, lapsed or valued sponsor)

 The new season is now well underway so it’s time to hold the first VP lunch for 2011/12. It’s a bit short notice as we had to win the Semi Final for the fixture to be confirmed. With it being a Cup Final we have to allow for the possibility of extra time, so fit everything in it will be a buffet lunch. As always it’s a great way for new and old supporters (vocal & financial) to meet each other at the club on:-  

Saturday 26^th November

 1^st XV @ Home – v. Felixstowe ( Suffolk Shield Final)

Last season’s VP suffered a bit from events on the pitch and I’d like to start my second year as President by getting back some of the atmosphere from the promotion season. So it would be fantastic if lots of you can join me and fill the patio with VP’s to cheer on the team.

 As it’s a buffet the cost will be a very reasonable £10 per head. Guests are as usual very welcome but we need to be underway at midday to ensure we are finished in time to refill your glass before kick-off.  

Please note – we can only cater for people who respond to the invitation so please confirm your availability or otherwise by any of the methods below no later than Tuesday 22nd November, however time is of the essence and the sooner you reply the sooner we can finalise details of the function. Dress code is jacket & tie and the only special item you need to bring with you is your membership fee if you have not rejoined yet this season.

 We will be delighted to see you and are sure you will have a great time.

 Kind regards

 Steve Bowak

President

Away Vp's to Swaffham on April 10th. 

Heinous Crime

 A terrible incident occurred at the clubhouse last Saturday 19th September when 2 crimes committed one after the other resulted in our Young Player of the Year Plate and a number of other trophies leaving Haverhill – presumably in the direction of a small Norfolk market town.

 After their easily repelled amateurish attempt at a trophy hunt failed last season Swaffham returned with better preparation this time and appear to have been more successful – this despite the valiant rearguard action from Stavros flatley who’s quick thinking prevented the Tournoi Toilet Seat being misappropriated.

 However the Carrott Crunchers cunning plan was in no small measure aided & abetted by the complete absence of back-up for Stavros; as the Haverhill team left the bar staff and a couple of beer soaked VP’s to defend the club’s prized possessions against a hoard of bandits.  

Retribution and revenge is the only sensible course of action. Fortunately our simple adversaries had already agreed to invite our Vice Presidents to a lunch before the return fixture later in the season and this takes place before the end of season dinner.  

This message is both a call to arms for the best scavengers amongst our VP’s and a harsh lesson for our current players. Your club needs you!

 Players - If you want to leave the opposition mob handed in your club house on a Saturday night then there will be no trophies left to present by the end of the season.

 Swaffham – lock down your town. We’re coming to get our stuff back and some reparations.

 Which was the greater crime? Only the VP’s can decide and probably only the VP’scan exact retribution – let’s have a council of war this Saturday 26th September and prepare for an invasion of Norfolk 10th Apirl.
