Especially,for all of you Football fanatics The north Devon Yacht Club has specially installed a big T.V so that you can all watch the Cup Final on the afternoon of Saturday 29th May.
The bar and food will available all afternoon as well. Alternatively, if football holds no interest for you, you can always listen to Kieth Heason tell you how he got it wrong at the start and was the only boat to be hit by a force 7 gust.
Looking forward to a better event than last year with loads more wind.
Best Regards
Pete

Blow Football

Charles, have you ever played Blow Football? It's great fun, especially in the bar after a few beers. OK, it's really a childrens' table-top game. But adults love it, too.
You need a large table, and there is a six-inch wire goal at each end. There are two teams with three players in each. They are all given straws to blow a small cork football around the table. The idea is that you try to blow the ball into the oponent's goal. But there are plenty of tricks to stop you doing this. One is to blow from the side, and the cross wind could blow the ball anywhere. It's hilarious! Nobody can blow when they're in stitches.
Some people suck the ball onto the end of their straws, and try to dump it in the goal. Anything goes! Others can't blow straight and everybody collapses in a heap of laughter. Honestly, it's so much better than the football you see on television.
In the late 1960s, we used to play Blow Football in the bar after rugby matches.
