My mum runs a dart league. I used to play and captain a team as well as being a results secretary/committee member until 2 or so years ago when I gave up to concentrate on my Open University studies. Anyway last night was their bi-annual dart presentation (there are two seasons a year) and I always help with these (i.e. check trophies, sell the card and or raffle plus other bits and pieces that need doing) as she puts a lot of time and effort into it for very little reward and a lot of hassle.
Last night was a very good night. One of the teams had contacted every other team and brought mum and the other two committee members (one of them does very little and was not even there) some beautiful flowers as well as an engraved glass for Trev (my stepdad) and they presented them to them after the actual presentation.
When I was selling the card I had the opportunity to chat to lots of people who I have not seen for 6 months and some for longer than that. I've lost 6 stone since then so you can imagine all the shocked faces and comments I got!!! There were lots of NSV's for me which was fantastic. I have enclosed a couple of pictures taken of me last night as well as one taken at the last presentation in November so you can see the difference. There were not that many taken of me on my camera but other people are emailing all their pictures today so when I get them, if there are anymore I shall post them on here. I really like the close up picture of me although I do think it makes me look slimmer than I actually am.
We were lucky in that Alice Cooper and Mark Bolan came along to present the trophies. If you want to see pictures of them and other things please visit here
Again I'll add more pictures there when people send them to me. I rather suspect they are all in bed with hangovers still. I was the only one not drinking.
