Revenge of the Conker

Jolly Sailor Conker Fight (12/10/07)

Following England's emphatic win on Saturday night, every one was in high spirits for the annual Jolly Sailor conker fight. Jason started will with a couple of wins, as did Terry and Ian. It was good to see both regulars and newcomers taking part, but unfortunately there was no sign of Vic, last years champ ... was he too scared of the competition?

Congratulations to Ian, who beat Terry in the grand final. With just the one hit, it was all over and Terry's conker fell to pieces!

Bikini's, bananas and bad hoola hooping

Bank Holiday Fun at the Jolly Sailor Beach Party

It may have been pouring with rain outside, but it was all summer fun in the Jolly on Sunday evening. The hoola hoop competition was interesting to say the least, with everyone put to shame by an 11 year old. A free drink was offered to anyone keeping the hoola hoop up for 1minute - this was soon reduced to 30 seconds. Swin and Erica battled it out on the floor, but it was Erica who got into the rhythym and lasted for more than 30 seconds. Meanwhile in the limbo competition, there were lots of entrants with regulars and newcomers alike taking to the floor. The first signs were that Liam would win the presitigous title as he looked as though he did the limbo daily. But in the finally round, it was his Phoenix team Jack, that showed amazing bendability and won the competition.

Up, Up and Away - 20 May '07

Charity Sky Dive

Following a late night beverage, Jolly Sailor landlady managed to persuade 4 willing punters (mugs) to jump out of a plane ... 8 months later and the day had arrived. Joining Heather were Steve, Jeremy, Lisa and Sarah - also celebrating her 21st birthday. Jumping for local cancer hospice 'Grove House', the group managed to drum up alot of support and have raised over £1000 for the charity (exact amount t.b.c.), so a big thank you to everyone who sponsored them.

All enjoyed the jump ... 12,000 feet, 45 seconds of freefall and then about 3 and a half minutes of floating through the air. Thanks to all the staff at the North London Parachute Centre, who kept spirits high and made the group relax and enjoy their jump. They may have been too good though .. as all 5 jumpers have said they'll be doing it again:)


Don't look at me .. you all agreed to the jump!	Spot the skydiver

Jolly Ski Trip

on the piste visiting Lisa in la Tania (07/04/07)

An enjoyable few days was had by all and it was good to meet up with Lisa, who used to work at the Jolly. It was Lisa's birthday on the Monday and Gareths on the Sunday, although as you can see from the photo's Gareth was nowhere to be seen at Geneva Airport, although his beer was!

And the Jolly 50 shirts make another appearance on top of the mountain.

Happy 'B'irthday

The Jolly Sailors Very Own Masterchef

John reached the quarter finals (28/02/07)

Congratulations to local boy John who recently reached the quarter finals of 'Masterchef'. The experience has given John that extra push to realise his dream - to have his own restaurant. But before he does, John has agreed to do a turn in the Jolly Sailor kitchen, so watch this space to see when Masterchef John will be cooking in the Jolly.
