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 ...

 
WEBMASTER'S PRIZE!

If you recall an occasional prize is handed out by the Webmaster to the winner of his quiz. Basically it ensures that members are reading the website!

 

At the meeting of 7th March we had a winner! In fact two members tried to get in on the act, but as Coops had two attempts (the first not being heard amongst the general hubbub) before Peter Williams tried to get his attempt in, I really had to be fair and award it to Coops.

 

The next one I think will have to be done as some form of draw - watch this space for details nearer the AGM!

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!

RETRO METRO NIGHT!

We headed off into the unknown to ride the tram to the Black Country! Liquid refreshment stops were frequent!

KNIGHT RIDERS UPDATED!

The Knight Riders - an epic tale of yesteryears. - UPDATED AGAIN! CASH HANDOVER!

They even managed to raise some cash and get in the local press when handing it over!

'ACCORDION' DIARY!

The EVENTS DIARY page (see link above - or click here) has the "accordion" style drop down option by month. There are options at the top to "Expand all" (months), "Collapse all", or just to open the current and next two months only.

 

Go and have a look and a play and see what you think. I would be interested in any feedback (at all?!) - click here
