The Cupboard Monster MARKETEERS CARNIVAL CLUBChairman: Steve Wright Captain: Alan Windsor Treasurer: Dave Kirk Jnr Secretary: Mark Cheffy Hello there, I hope everyone is ok and had an Easter weekend, I’m sure the many of you who bought me an Easter gift simply had no idea where to deliver it, so I will let you off. So what has happened in the wonderful month of March? The Club held a Quiz in the Blake Arms which was well run By Jason & Rachel Davy (and a very big thanks to them) and was well attended. In the end the quiz was won by the all conquering never been beaten team of Alan Windsor, Matt Knapp, Ian Barber & Grover who got the drinks for us when we needed more alcoholic refreshment. The next quiz is being held in The Blake Arms Hotel Function Room Friday 11th April 2008. please make an effort to come along, it is a very enjoyable night and raises a huge amount of money for the club. What else has happened I hear you ask, well? The clocks have gone forward (which has really buggered up my sleeping habits) of course as mentioned earlier we had a nice long Easter weekend, Gods own Football Team overhauled a 5point gap at the top of the Premiership to establish a 5point gap themselves and of course the Marketeers took part in the Old Folk Show with one of their now legendary performances. After a few rehearsals come the Thursday night we were ready to go on stage and to be honest it had to be seen to be believed, this year’s theme was Babies and as with some of our recent efforts the emphasis was on humour. With the majority of the personnel in baby-grows and the larger members wearing only a nappy and a bib, the stage was set for 9minutes of unadulterated fun. The audience certainly enjoyed it as Sam ‘Skiddo; Chidgey was seen to be wiping away tears of laughter (well we are hoping it was tears of laughter) from his face after only a couple of minutes. After a good 1st night we regrouped on Friday to do it once again, before we went on we took advantage of the food on offer back stage and cleared the plates in minutes. Another good night on stage was followed by a good night off it, as we and several others celebrated ‘Uncle’ Bob William’s 40th birthday. Back the next day suffering from sore heads we made our last appearance as the babies from hell. Once again the crowd lapped it up and we made our way to squib for an evening of festivities’, here at the squib a remarkable 17 Marketeers pogoed simultaneously on the pool table (this includes, Big del, Dan & Wrighter) after some calculations the next morning it was worked out that there was over 1.3 metric tonnes dancing up and down on the table!!! It’s a small miracle it didn’t snap in half under the strain. If anyone missed the show and would like to see for themselves how we all looked as children it was filmed by Jones and I’m sure it will be on www.bridgwater-photos.co.uk very soon Apart from the OFS people have been very busy out the halfway, work is progressing well and the frame of the cart is starting to take shape. However there is still a tremendous amount of work to do, if anyone finds themselves with a spare hour or so, there are always people out the cart on a Monday, a Wednesday and normally Saturdays, please please if you have a spare hour pop out there and lend a hand. It is always very appreciated and much much needed. If anyone would like to know when people are deffinately out the cart please contact Cart Co-Ordinator Allan Elson . Right I leave you now to enjoy your day, hope to see you all soon at one of the upcoming events, please support the club functions and everything we do in the coming months. Thanks for listening, hope to see you at the Quiz on the 11th April. Best Wishes - Windsor
Meet the Members This month’s edition focuses on the President Chunky Dunster and the Love of His Life Dean Waite Nickname - Chunk Occupation Grumpy Old Man and Faggots secret Lover Position in Club President Year Joined 43 BC Reason you joined I needed away to moan at people for the rest of my fore-see able future and figured that if with my mates we founded a carnival club there would always be lots of people to moan at and bore. Involvement with Club I walk around the cart picking up pig rings and broken holders, I then take these to most the people about and declare that we would have millions in the bank if people were more careful, I also am a founder member of Marketeers for gay rights with my friend Dean Faggot Waite Ambition for the future at my age waking up in the mornings with a dry bed is an achievement; I cant set my sights any higher
Next up is ‘Friend’ Dean Wiate Name Dean Waite Nickname Faggot Occupation Chunks Carer and part-time Olympic urine tester Position in Club I am responsible for looking after the president as in his fragile old age, most things in life are a chore for him Year joined 1992 Reason you joined Ive always enjoyed caring for the older generation and when I met Chunky hanging around the bushes outside school, I knew this was the club for me Involvement with Club my main job is to be bored to tears by chunks jokes I do this so the rest of the members can largely get on with enjoying there night. I also have to make sure that Grover abides by his 100ft school exclusion order.
