Serbia has a new Millionaire
Trip to Desert Springs Nov 24th - 27th 2006

Sponsored by Joe Schulein, Jon Walter and Sasha Alexander

Serbia has a new Millionaire! Sasha slobberdanmykokaube…itch won the overall prize
for our weekend away which was a petrol engine powered Go-Ped. Back home in
Serbia this is the equivalent of a brand new Bentley and will doubtless be able to
transport at least 17 of them over the border! The weekend was far too short but
we packed in far too many memories to pen them all. My pen pictures of a fab
weekend below:

Hotel: Marina Playa in Mojacar Almeria. 4 stars. Great location, great food, great
opportunity for fraudulent activity with an interesting process for alcohol purchase.
Bad points: Each room being a sauna at all times with non functioning air-con plu
s a tiny car-park.

Golf Course: Desert Springs – Awesome. Lush green in a desert. Fairways that
have been on diet coke since inception they’re so thin and greens that are faster
than Lindford Christie. Even our Pro 4 putted!

The Players:

Gary Stone: Impeccable organisation as is the norm. Where would we be without
him? Didn’t eat enough meat. Interesting Felt trousers on the Saturday that tennis
balls would stick to.

Jon Williams: Welsh, short, bald Gollum look-alike that the ladies call ‘my precious’.
Fitting in nicely to the very busy role of president. Enjoyed seeing several new
bridges as possible new homes. Didn’t enjoy Gordon’s amorous drunken advances
from the rear!

Ray Gambrell: Silver fox, silver tongued, great bar presence.

Ray Garbutt: Set new world record for distance driven with the handbrake on
(2.5 miles) and swore like a trooper – Good work

Joe Schulein: Responsible for 50% of Chelsea’s profit from merchandise. Respect to
one of our sponsors but he is half Kraut.

Gordon: Porridge. Attacked by a cactus during the practise round which seemed to
move legs over the weekend. Also a heavy cold kept him quiet thank the Lord.

Cheda: Usual larger than life presence and confirmed a Jewish/Serbian background
by stealing hotel food at breakfast to make sandwiches for the family throughout
the day.

Mira: Queen of Spain. Elegance personified. Nearly suspended during Sundays
round for excessive sexual harassment of the Charmer.

Andy Werber: Defending champion. Sported a corduroy jacket straight out of the
Sweeney and was rather grumpy in a fun way. Has obviously married way above
his station.

Mike Prior: Rolled back the years. Useful advice on accomplishing a long and happy
marriage. Unfortunately it didn’t include bondage, rubber or bedroom Olympics, but I
guess he has to keep some secrets.

Nancy Prior: Our Queen Mum. Enough said.

Sasha and Nicky: Sons of Satan or of Ceda and Mira? Spiced up the weekend with
their wicked wit and together visited the full extent of the Golf course and
surrounding desert! Adventure Golf. Kindly sponsored Day 2.

Ross Jenkinson: Scattered the course full of balls with R written on! Cannot tell
the difference between Elton John, Barry Humphries and Liberace! Why hit one
range ball when you can hit the whole bucketful at once!

Ken Jacques: As usual played like a man with no arms but continues to be the
nicest man I have ever met.

Steve Lamb: Stato! A great help. Most improved personality award.

Peter West: Obviously sponsored by Sue Ryder charity shops for the weekend.
Resplendent.

Chris Almond: Professional number 2. Immaculate golf, immaculate dress.
Good to see a smile back on his face. No way can he be 50.

Dave Peacock: The Charmer. Eloquent, charming. Could he be the new Bond?

The WAGs

Nikki Stone: Pro’s wife. Ably organised the WAGs and was even caught drinking
during the day! Behind every great man there’s a ………

Sam Tomsett: The Charmer tamer. Gave the boys sweet dreams with her
‘Yeah Baby Yeah’.

Poppy Stone: WAG of the week – won herself a Flag. Always smiling.

Mrs Garbutt: Lovely lady but dodgy Ancestry – who else could see marrying a
Northerner as a step up the social ladder?

Mrs Werber: The thinking man’s totty. Could do so much better than her
current squeeze!

Mrs Schulein: Tendency to allow strange men in her room but very gregarious
snappy dresser.

Dasha: Gorgeous. Did well to keep her extended family in order!

Louie: Too young to talk yet but already making more sense than his Grandad!

Mrs West and Mrs Jacques: Very pleasant company but quizzes aren’t their
strong point. Was every year at school a gap year?
