More drugs

Finally picked up my prescription yesterday evening for some more drugs - only went without for a day or two - so far my knees have only barely flickered which is a vast improvement on the previous 8 months or so - maybe it was the holiday that benefited me!

On the way back from picking them up bumped in to Dan Webb - the new Chalfont St Peter cricket chairman - had a swift pint with him - and I am really impressed with what he is achieving already - hopefully the initial enthusiasm carries through to the long term - but given his track record I have no doubt it will and the cricket section will move strongly upwards in the next five years.

In fact, Warren the hockey chairman who has also done a great job in the last couple of years could do well to take a leaf from Dan's book and look more strategically at the long term future of the hockey club. Sarah went to a meeting last night organised by the EHA (England Hockey) which if they carry through for longer than the normal two years they cobble something together for will have profound effects on clubs. Just one of the points was no Under 15's (I think that was the age she said) will be allowed to play senior hockey - which she guessed would take away two ladies teams for example - and I should think at least one men's teams. Added to the fact Ian and sarah aren't particularly interested in doing juniors any more because of the lack of support they receive then the hockey chairman has a lot to sort out and delegate tasks to.

It'll be interested to see how the EHA organise their finances as their taxes on us playing are already at breaking point - so if they suddenly find 20% of teams are removed from the leagues (Which already shrinking rapidly through mergers and clubs folding) they will see their finances in tatters. However, I have every confidence they will take another strategic direction in two years time...

I went along for lunch with Quest Marketing yesterday at Pinewood Studios - what a fabulous environment they have to work in there. We spotted the Director of the new James Bond film Casino Royale in the restaurant we were eating in. Star spotting is a bit of a passe activity for them though!! lol.

I also found time to do a spot of work yesterday as well lol I'm about to launch a couple of web sites hopefully later today. All my other interests are very busy as always. I notice some of my competitors aren't so busy - looking at these stats and even those of my customers they are all over them. Maybe they'll be tempted to put in an offer for us - in excess of £100k please.
