VHTB - 31/10/10

Following the draw at Bristol Rovers it's now four home games on the bounce as we still chase a treble.

Hit The Bar!

Geoff Graham is taking over the Editorship of Hit The Bar! from Dave Brown. He will take over officially from the January issue BUT he will also be doing the bulk of the work for the December issue as his final lead in.

Therefore for the next issue of HTB, please send all information, contributions, questions, ideas, photos, opposition reports etc to Geoff on editor@carlislelondonbranch.org

Geoff will be setting the deadline but just as a heads up, it will be around the middle of November.

Dave says: “I would like to give a huge thanks to you all for the enormous support that you have given me as Editor. I have thoroughly enjoyed the last 2 years and have been very proud of the magazine that we have published which I believe has the best content of any football fanzine that I have read.”

“Geoff will make an excellent editor and will bring a new focus and enthusiasm to freshen up the magazine. I am sure that you will all support Geoff in the future as well as you have me in the past. “

“I will also continue to need your support as Information Officer for the branch.”

“Once again, thank you”

Charity Challenge

A message from Nigel Moss :-

On Sunday 7th November I am taking on my biggest challenge as I take part in the Twin peak Challenge. It has nothing to do with mountains it is far harder than that! I will be running up two tower blocks in The City , 67 floors, 1512 steps and 935 feet what ever way you look at it, it's a bloody long way!! This is all in the name of charity Action Against Hunger: www.actionagainsthunger.org.uk

You all know me pretty well and can vouch for the fact that I am a bit over weight (according to the Met Police Health Staff I am actually fat however I dispute this fact!) rather lazy and despise most forms of physical activity!

Why the hell am i doing this i hear you ask. Well my mate Simon (my mate that came on the brewery tour) is the organiser and over a few beers in East London the other weekend he was telling me about it. He then went on to say that I would never have the courage or the balls to do it. To be honest it was a perfectly fair interpretation of the situation however after 5 pints I decided that I would prove him wrong!! Never ever make a decision like this after 5 pints!!

So now i am committed to it and am actually looking forward to it. No that's a lie I can't bring my self to even pretend that. I am actually s**tting myself. I have asked my mate to ensure that extra paramedics are on hand as i really fear for my health with this. I get out of breath running up the stairs to the office i work in and that's only on the 2nd floor!!

So I ask you all to be generous and donate then think of me (or pray for me!) next Sunday morning as i take on this challenge.

You can donate at www.justgiving.com/nigemoss

Thank you

Regards

Nige


Summer Trip

An update from Mike Carruthers - summertrip@carlislelondonbranch.org

" The shortlist for the summer trip was discussed at the October branch meeting. I'm grateful to Nigel Moss, Dave Brown and Al Millington for carrying out research into travel options. We have concluded that from the original shortlist La Rochelle and Bilbao are not feasible.

La Rochelle - Flights were available this year to LaRochelle and are likely to be next year but prices and schedules won't be released until the New Year. Similarly rail travel will be available but again prices will not be available until New Year. It was felt that this was to uncertain to proceed with.

Bilbao - Flights are available but not on Fridays or Mondays so this would only be feasible if we were to change the trip departure date to either Thu - Sun or Sat - Tue.

Caen - There is a ferry option from Portsmouth which at present would cost approx £60 - £70 return as a foot passenger. There is also the rail option. We will retain Caen as an option.

One of the suggestions was that we should have at least one option that had good flight options from provincial airports. Berlin was raised last year and we have decided to add this as it does have excellent flight options. It is,surprisingly reasonably cheap for Germany.

The final addition is Ljubljana in Slovenia. There are cheap flights available from Stansted. Ljubljana is very much an up and coming destination it is fairly close to the Italian border and offers the opportunity for trips to Lake Bled/Julian Alps.

So the final shortlist is

Caen
Berlin
Ljubljana

The choice of departure dates are

Friday 10th June
Friday 17th June


Please let me have your votes for:

Destination

1st Preference
2nd Preference
3rd Preference

(2nd & 3rd preferences are optional)

Choice of date (choose one of the above)

Deadline for votes is Friday 26th November and the result will be announced at the branch meeting on Thursday 2nd December. "

A message from Travel Co-ordinator Al Millington - travel@carlislelondonbranch.org .

Train tickets for the Notts County game on 22nd Jan will be released any day and as far as I can tell there is no group save option on the day. If we want to secure a bargain we will need to move swiftly. We should in theory be able to pick up singles for 11-12 quid each.

Can you let me know whether they would like to travel with the group for this trip. I will put a deadline of 1st November for folk to let me know whether they want to come along. Depending on numbers we maybe able to secure a bit more discount through the use of family rail cards.
I'd suggest either the 9.30 or 10.15 train out of St Pancreas. The 9.30 is quite early but allows time for a wander round the city and a sly pint in the Trip to Jerusalem - the oldest pub in the universe. Please note FA cup 4th round is the following weekend. We will be taking a slight gamble with the January weather but Nottingham is a good city for a day out with plenty of good pubs if the match is called off.

Walsall 20th November

We await ticket prices. A few train travellers have already booked on the 10.03 from Euston and back on the 17.34 from The Bescot Stadium with a change at Birmingham New Street in either direction.

When the Going Gets Tough.....

This was sent in before saturdays game - "To put the Carlisle United season into some perspective after about one quarter of the league games. We have played four of the top six teams and the other one in the League Cup. Although six teams of the 11 we have played are currently in the top half only three points cover the middle clubs between play-off and relegation places and we have played 9 of them.

We have only played 2 of the bottom six, one of those being Plymouth away.There again, we always play badly against the poor teams so it might be just as well. "

Dave Nicholson Memorial Service

The sun broke through gloomy skies and drizzle just as the Memorial Service for Dave Nicholson began in Basingstoke Crematorium at the beginning of October. A large attendance from his many friends in and around Basingstoke as well as the large group from the London Branch of the Supporters' Club took the opportunity to remember the highly colourful and popular Carlisle United fan.

The fact that some old colleagues had travelled all the way from Carlisle for the service, including Norman Steele from the Trust, indicates the respect in which he was held. For a man who regularly travelled from Basingstoke to Carlisle for every game it was only reasonable to make this one journey in the opposite direction.

The service was conducted by Don Graham who managed to create a constant up beat note which was only right given Dave Nicholson never allowed anything to diminish his enthusiasm for life. He had spent his last years in France as he had always planned, but not allowing serious illness to diminish his final years.

Simon Clarkson, London Branch Chairman, spoke and added to the celebration of Dave's life recalling Dave's last match at Brighton where he relived his victory in the 1,500 metres in Withedean when he was a schoolboy taking part in the National Championships.

After the service everyone retired to "The Fox," the nearby and aptly named favourite watering hole of the Nicholson family. The pub had been decorated with Carlisle United flags and bunting and everyone changed into Carlisle United tops to celebrate Dave's life appropriately with his wife Christine and his family.

A narrow victory against Notts County lifted us to second following the JPT draw that was kind to us, in presenting us with a home tie against Crewe.

Summer Trip

A meesage from Mike Carruthers summertrip@carlislelondonbranch.org.

" Some people have voiced their concern over the shortlist of venues for next years summer trip. Originally my idea was to avoid a lengthy list of destinations and I came up with the shortlist having discussed it at the branch meeting and taking informal soundings from a number of members which included asking them to nominate a destination.

If anybody feels that we should revisit the destination list please email me and feel free to add any suggestions. If the general feeling is that we should reconsider I will raise this for discussion at the branch meeting on 21st October. "

Summer Trip 2011

It is time once again to test the democratic process. Previously when I asked for nominations, I ended up with around a dozen. This time I have consulted with senior members of the London Branch Coalition and we have a shortlist of three destinations:


La Rochelle: An historic city and sea port on the Bay of Biscay, La Rochelle is a cultural centre famous for its architecture and restaurants as well as being a major German U-Boat base during the WWII on the Atlantic Ocean - the pens can still be seen. The city is connected to the Ile de Ré by the 2.9km long bridge and the airport is less than 2 miles from the city centre. It affords the possibility of a day trip to the equally historic town of Rochefort.

Bilbao: The cosmopolitan city of Bilbao is the economic capital of the Basque country. It is a city of contrasts, from its industrial past and grey buildings to its beautiful parks, wide avenues, and the picturesque River Nervion, which runs through the centre of the city. The colourful and historical Old Town District is located only a short distance from the ultra modern, world-renowned Guggenheim Museum, further illustrating the diverse character of Bilbao. Possible day trip could be to San Sebastian.

Caen: A city and commune of North Western France. Caen is known for historical buildings built in the time of William the Conqueror, who was buried here, and for the Battle for Caen—the heavy fighting that took place in and around Caen during the Battle of Normandy in 1944. Day trips include the Normandy Beaches and the historic town of Bayeux, home to the famous tapestry.
Please let me have your votes specifying your first, second and third choice.

The choice of departure dates is:
Friday 10th June
Friday 17th June

A simple majority will determine the winner, none of this block vote nonsense – it’s one member one vote. So, if Ian Brown votes for La Rochelle, there is no chance that his younger brother can enter votes for all of his employees and swing it with a block vote for Bilbao!

Votes should be emailed to summertrip@carlislelondonbranch.org by 31st October.
