BUDDY DIVERS NEWSLETTER
www.skiptondivers.co.ukThank you to those who came to the last meeting, Apologies came from, Simon H, Graham.
The Christmas do on Saturday 3rd of December was a good night out, at one end of the Bowling alley were Skipton Divers, at the other end, Keighley BSAC. Needless to say both sets of divers enjoyed the night. Many thanks to Simon M who came for a quick drink, as he had been working and to Stef who came for the bowling, it was great to see both of them.
After the bowling, we all went to Mastabs in Skipton for a lovely and very tasty curry, better still it was on special offer! Many thanks to the lovely chaps at Mastabs, who not only put up with us, fed us well, but joined in the entertainment as well.
The bowling was won by Nick, Mike second and Stu W third, last was Karen A, a bottle of wine to Nick and a can of beans to Karen A to build the poor girl up for next year. JT got more than his usual thong from Santa, he got a mankini, pictures are available on the Forum!. Nick also got a thong after he complained last year!.
As both donned their Christmas offerings, the chaps from Mastabs took some photos as they didn’t believe what they were seeing. Nick and JT then went outside for a fag, so if you saw two gents, one wearing a lime green mankini and one wearing a shiny leopard skin thong, smoking outside a curry house in Skipton, your eyes were not deceiving you. Thank you to all those involved, top night out.
On another note, Karen A is always wanting us to go to a sing-a-long-a Sound of Music, well there is a sing-along-a Grease at the Leeds City Varieties later this year, anybody fancy going?
