freyakitten Aug. 11th, 2004 10:41 am)It seems strange that someone could be wearing a dressing-gown to play all week, and the only people who noticed on their own (didn't have to be told) were other under-25s.
It seems strange that we all accept the winning of the 'Victory Dinner Hurling Award' - an unofficial under-25 'award' given to the team with the first person to throw up at the Victory Dinner - could be given as a result of a 16 year old drinking heavily prior to the dinner and no-one blinks an eye.
It seems strange that the only semi-attractive piece of 'representative clothing' that was given to any of the players by their respective state bodies was something organised by the players themselves. Things made of polar fleece featured heavily this year. One of my teammates was wearing his jacket from a couple of years ago in preference to this years, and it was a definite improvement.
The Victorian Bridge Association has play-screens that rock! Not rock as in rock back and forth, because that would be a pain. They're solid, heavy, thick, well constructed screens with a rod in the bottom of the curtain so that it can be raised and lowered easily and efficiently. They're not ugly and hideous to use like ours. I'm hoping to persuade enough people that we need better screens before the ANC is in Adelaide in two years time (my last year in the under-25s and the nationals are in my hometown...)
