Gangsters & Molls - Valentine's Day Party
We celebrated the on coming of Valentines Day with a party based around the Valentines Day massacre.
The Saint Valentine's Day massacre is the name given to the murder of seven people as part of a Prohibition Era conflict between two powerful criminal gangs in Chicago, Illinois, in 1929: the South Side Italian gang led by Al Capone and the North Side Irish gang led by Bugs Moran. Former members of the Egan's Rats gang were also suspected to have played a large role in the St. Valentine's Day massacre, assisting Capone.
Jolly Sailor Ski Trip 2010
Just back from our 4th Jolly Sailor ski trip. This year we were based in St Johann in the Tirol area of Austria.

Next years trip is already being planned and details will follow as soon as we have them. We would love you to join us and we promise you will have a good week.
