Westpark Club Members

Last chance to brush up your badminton. The Juniors went canoeing and got wet. Afterwards, “The Thief Lord” occupied the evening for Vini & Peter.

Dan & Dermot took their courage in both hands when they went with the Seniors to Ivinghoe Beacon in Bucks., a spot noted for its panoramic views of the surrounding countryside… when there isn’t continuous mist and rain. Fortunately, proceedings were livened up by Vini F who’d brought enough bangers to wake up the countryside […]

A small but select group consisting mostly of pairs of brothers went with Dan & Tim to Feltham for 10-pin bowling. Christian was the clear winner, in spite of a late burst of flukey spares by Tim. Dan’s plan of finding a park to play frisbee football in fell awry, so we ended up coming […]

The seniors indulged in more badminton this week, with Tony J managing to knock the shuttlecock fair and square, behind his back, across to the next court and hitting an innocent bystander! Meanwhile the juniors were trying themselves out as sports commentators, and Rhavine’s Arsene Wenger impression has to be heard to be believed.

Juniors were off shooting each other to death at the Feltham Laser Quest. Thanks to Rhavine and his friends, we had a good-sized bunch to keep Dan and Enrico busy in the minibus. Meanwhile, the Seniors had invited Kelston Club over for a game of Roller Hockey. We used all our skate, all our sticks […]

Thank you to everyone who turned up in the afternoon and in the evening to make our Carols & Punch a success. The boys enjoyed a phrenetic combination of armchair unihoc, frisbee football, mini tug-of-war, newspaper batons, charades and more before joining the youngsters as they arrived with their parents for a showing of The […]

Well, most of you got our message in time last week that we’d had to cancel the club because of a dread stomach bug going round the club leaders. Even though Dermot & Tim were healthy on Saturday afternoon, three others were down and we didn’t want to pass it around. I say “most of […]

How did we fit all of those into a single afternoon at Westpark? Simple: the Westpark Factor, a joint Junior-Senior venture which had a different challenge in every room, and only five minutes for the team to complete it. Christian’s brother Vincent astounded us all with his skipping prowess, Seb proved that size isn’t everything […]

Unexpectedly fair weather held for those of the Seniors who took to two wheels and travelled the byways to Hampton Court: a surprisingly low seven miles as the crow flies, although a couple of miles more as the bike wheels. In spite of some risky emergency braking by Vinny halfway through Richmond Park, and some […]

The uptake for the Badminton Activity Session was so great that only Stefan was left behind to demonstrate his undoubted prowess at guitar playing, while hopefully learning a little more from Javier’s expert tuition. Over a post-football orange squash, Seb claimed the trophy for furthest-travelled-this-summer, making it to New York and back with the school […]
