Shirley Late Knights
Welcome

Welcome to the home page of Shirley Late Knights, more commonly known as Shirley 41 Club. We are a member of The Association of Ex-Round Tablers Clubs which is usually known just as 41 Club.

Who are we?

We are a Club with about 50 something members who meet regularly once a month for speaker meetings, the occasional devious quiz, discussions, outside meetings, barbeques in the summer, and generally trying to keep Shirley Round Table in order.

 

We also have our annual challenge match against Shirley Table taking part in something vaguely sporty (for example skittles or bowls), although not too strenuous. After all, we wouldn't want to tire out the youngsters, would we! This is known as the Cec Crossley Trophy (Cec is pronounced "Sess") and the holders have to organise next years event.

TRAVEL HISTORY

See where Shirley 41 Club have been over the years.

 

There have been trips to many places around europe and our history page outlines these trips, incuding 'highlight moments' and in some cases further links to the actual report and photos!

SHIRLEY TABLE WEBSITE!

Shirley Round Table now have their own proper website, and can be found by clicking here! It has been created by your very own Webmaster who has been commissioned by Table to do this for them! Check it regularly just in case you are mentioned ...

 
NEW CHAIRMAN INSTALLED!

Jon has now been installed as the new Chairman for 2010-11. Good Luck!

WALES WEEKEND -UPDATED!

MORE PICTURES ADDED!! The 'Wales' weekend this year was held in that well known East Riding of Wales - Northampton. Nick had arranged a weekend of varying activities for us which meant getting rather cold, and then wet on Saturday, an evening out on the town, and a hangover cure walk on the Sunday morning, finishing with food (and more beer!) at a pub for lunch. Click here to see a report and some photos!

INDIA TRIP - CHENNAI!

Some of our own members went off to India to the Round Table 94 Clubs Meeting. They met up with over 100 Tablers (etc!) from Tables all over Europe and India. Some spent up to 10 days touring the area, as well as having a fantastic time with over 100 Tablers and wives/partners! To see the excellent report Gary has put together of the trip (with over 100 photos!!) click this link to go to the Shirley Table website page.

WEBMASTER'S PRIZE!

For the AGM Webmaster's prize the instructions were 'hidden' in the Chairman's report (until replaced by a report from the new Chairman Jon) and it was to email me with the text from one of the pictures from the Wales weekend report. The winner of a rather nice bottle of port was Gary. I hope you enjoy it! It is one of my favouries!

RECENT EVENTS!

For some of our more recent events it appears we don't have any incriminating embarrassing photos from those events. If anyone wishes to provide any such photos I will gladly add them to a report page about the event (but I will have to censor them first, just in case I am on any of them!)

 

The Christmas Party (19th Dec) was another rousing success and Mr and Mrs Christmas made their usual appearance.

 

Table President's Night (28th Jan) saw a significant turn out for Greg's 1940's night, several RAF officers and land girls were present.

 

The joint 41 Club / Tangent Night (10th Feb) saw everyone seeing spots .... with a successful dominoes evening!

LADIES NIGHT!

Ladies Night was held at Olton Golf Club once again! An excellent night of good food and live music!
