Well, what a year 2017 was. I don’t think there’s been a more eventful
year in the 38 years I’ve been alive.
Baby
First and foremost I have to
talk about the new addition to the Clark household. No, we have not got a new cat or my preference
a new dog. We’ve gone and got ourselves a
new baby! Florence Joan Clark to be
precise.
It’s been an amazing 3 months, a complete life changer. But 100% in a good way. I can’t think of a better feeling than her
sleeping on top of me. There are better feelings
than her screaming her lungs out whilst covered in her own shit however…
Dad's 70th in Anglesey
In 2017 my Dad turned 70! In honour of this the Clark clan travelled
all the way up to sunny Anglesey for a week.
My brother got rear ended on the way up so had to head home to Worthing
and swap cars first but other than that it was a great holiday. We even managed to one of my Dad’s brothers
and sisters down for the day.
I’ve spent over a year of my life in Rhosneigr as I used to go
there for weeks on end during the summer holidays to visit my grandparents. We also went there for many Christmases and other
school holidays so it really added up.
The place has gone up in the world too. IT’s actually got a few restaurants and a few
semi decent pubs too!
Trojan award
I had a good season at
Tonbridge Juddians with many people saying that it was the best they’d seen me
play. Not bad for someone that’s nearly
40. I was playing in the 3rd
team and we ended up winning the league!
I also won the Trojan award which is awarded to the Vet (over 35
years of age) player. I think it was just
my turn and usually results in retirement a couple of years later.
Operation
Speaking of retiring, I ruptured a tendon on my bicep in November
and had to have an operation on my arm which could quite possibly mean I’ve
played my last game. I’ve played since I
was about 6 so not bad going really.
I won’t be playing again this
season but we will see how I get on with my rehab and I may venture out again
in September (if I’m allowed…)
Tonbridge Jamboree
In June we saw the inaugural Tonbridge
Jamboree, what an event that was. We had
tug of war, sprints and even wellie wanging.
Jamboree 2018’s date is already in the diary for June 23rd so
make sure you’re free.

Who knows what 2018 has in store for us, watch this space to
