For the eigth year running, the end of season do for The Outcasts will again be at the Bali Brassiere in Hove. The Bali has agreed to take us despite having been through a very expensive refurbishment.

It has always been a great venue and this year we have moved the date to later in the year to Friday 9th June to avoid the Brighton Rugby Club Ball on the 13th May and the half term holidays.

We have a maximum of 82 tickets available for the event and it is first come first served. As I say every year: this is not a sausage festival and you are expected to bring a date if possible. I understand that a lot of you look like you fell from the ugly tree and hit all the branches on the way down but Brighton must have a few ladies out there with low self esteem and even lower standards, so do your best!

We will be running our usual raffle in aid of the 'British Heart Foundation' this year. As my wife had a triple bypass in her late fourties this is a charity that means a lot to me. I will need some good raffle prizes for the night so if you have anything that would help then please contact me. We raise a lot of money and I hope this continues.

The Tickets this year have gone up for the first time to £27 a person which is £24 for the meal and the rest for the awards and entertainment. Dress code is smart casual which for the stupid, i.e. most of the forwards, is no Flip-Flops, shorts or wife beaters. I realise that for most of us this is our entire wardrobe but those poor women who married us believed, however misguidedly, that we would change so for one evening cater to their fantasy and dress smart.

This event is open to all and Outcasts are all those who support us, not just players, so get in early or be that sad soul who ends up in West Street on their own.
