**Charity Naked Calendar Update**

It almost killed us but we got our shorty-short netball dresses on, swallowed our pride (and quite a lot of tequila) and sold hundreds and hundreds on random London pub crawls and to coerced friends and relatives. The final total is looking likely to hit our target of £15,000 and every single penny raised goes to the amazing Trinity Hospice in Clapham. Clearly a monstrous effort and a whole gaggle of the club now have something to show their unsuspecting grandchildren

this month we are mostly loving...

1. The hen weekend season is officially open
2. Angie and Brad to split?
3. Lunches in the park
4. Getting our Festival tickets
5. Recruiting boys for the mixed tournament (god bless them)

this month we are mostly not loving...

1. Gossip Girl – series 2 is officially crap
2. Coat? No coat? Tights? No tights?
3. Chris Moyles. Spectacularly over rated
4. Sunny days sat at our desks
5. A creeping awareness re: trials

CLUB NEWS
So we edged towards the end of the 08/09 season even more bruised and battered than usual.

*The firsts seemed to be playing matches three times a week to make up for the all the ones cancelled in January due to snow/rain/locusts. Love for netball was truly tested.
*The seconds were particularly depleted due to the aggressive transfer window in the Spring that saw three of their squad stolen by the Firsts and a whole raft of crippling injuries amongst the rest of the team.
*The thirds faced an absolute monster of a game for their last match of the season and came through with flying colours. The perfect end to their roller-coaster season
*The fourths not only rocked on court, but are probably still nursing their hangovers from their last match celebrations of the season. They definitely take the Veuve Cliqueot award 2009.
*Whilst the social team continued to be outrageously successful, albeit vodka-fuelled, up to and including their last match to secure 100% victories for the season
