Beeston Chairman Diggers reports:
Over the last few years, Beeston 573 have participated in an annual ski weekend in the snowy wastes of Northern Sweden in association with our twinned Tables from Enkoping 73 (SUI), Midt-Telemark 73 (NOR) and Kajaani 73 (FIN) and joined by many 100s of other like minded idiots from Tables across Scandinavia. It’s absolutely awesome and represents one of the most hedonistic Table events known to mankind. Words cannot describe how drop dead and available the women are and the skiing isn’t bad either.
This year, only two Beeston 573 Tablers, Kal Laats and Andy Guy, were available and brave enough to go again, leaving everyone else gut-wrenchingly jealous. I received a call last night (Thurs 21st January) from Kal to confirm their safe arrival in Enkoping, Sweden chomping at the bit. All is well with both of them with the exception of one minor detail. It’s next weekend! They will be flying back to Blighty at 9pm tonight a little red-faced and it won’t be from too much Jaigermeister. I would welcome any suggestions from other Area 14 Tables as to the size of the fine this monumental demonstration of complete muppetry deserves. Please feel free to take the *iss in large measure at forthcoming Charters, Area Dinners etc.

Derby Merlin recently visited the photo studios of top Derby photographer Nigel Tissington. There were many budding photographers attending or were they just there to see the models? Whilst some used the opportunity to improve camera techniques and lighting skills some were just there to snuggle and keep warm! Simon Smith managed to create a successor to Tabler magazine….

Departure Breakfast for the German and Dutch guests
Derby Merlin celebrated 40 years with a Charter dinner and Euro Twinning weekend in October. 5 German and 5 Dutch “98” tablers were hosted by tablers and shown the city attractions during their stay. After clay pigeon shooting and a brewery visit the Dutch went home to freshen up in preparation for the Saturday nightlife. Meanwhile, the Germans stayed in town and went on the big wheel, to see Derby at its best … in the dark. By this time their capacity for beer was failing them. So into Wetherspoons and a shot of Jägermeister, (70 Proof made from herbs & spices), dropped into Red Bull to create the Jägerbomb. This kept them going until 3:45 am! Only John “Mad Dog” Manley was able to match their dancing skills. Fortunately for us he was not dressed in skin tight Lederhosen, so the females of Derby had no reason to approach him.
