So I'm just going to go for it now.
On Sunday the 3rd of April 2011 we went to Brighton for a couple of days. One of our passions is Brighton and Hove Albion Football Club and Nick, through our shop, Shire Games, sponsors the away kit for one of the players. Every year the club holds a Kit Sponsors Dinner where you get to have dinner with 'your' player and have the opportunity to meet other players and even the club management.
This was the second time we have been and I just can't say how much I enjoyed it.
Our player is Elliott Bennett and he's a lovely young man.
Now we took several pictures with different players, but because they give you an official picture with your player and the shirt we get to take home, I didn't actually get any pictures of Elliott. Here is my favourite though - Gus Poyet, BHAFC Manager and demi-god!
We chatted with Gus for a bit and also with Charlie Oatway, Ashley Barnes, Adam El-Abd, Craig Noone, Matt Sparrow and Dick Knight, former Chairman.
It was a great evening!
We were in Brighton from Sunday tea-time until Tuesday afternoon and found a new favourite pub.
An 18th Century farmhouse apparently, which is in brilliant condition. Lovely atmosphere and all the things we look for in a pub - quiz machines, stools for sitting at the quiz machines and sport on the telly!
The weather wasn't brilliant the water was quite rough.
The visit was too short, as it always is. Can't wait for next year when the dinner will be at the new Amex stadium and Brighton will (hopefully) be in the Championship!
