nutty nigel 7,902 Posted May 18, 2011 Just a reminder that the Pink Un Picker''s end of season Social and Promtion Party is this coming Saturday 8pm at Bayer Social Club. If any other posters would like to join us you would be welcome. Just send me an email at Canaryeddie@aol.com or call me on 07876778743 so that I''m aware of who''s coming and can give you details of where we are. If you''ve never met the PUPs before I can tell you that they are a real friendly bunch and will make you very welcome. There will be some party food provided and some of the PUPs are bringing some too. Anything else will be appreciated. The PUPs Presentation Night will be later in the summer.

Evil Monkey 52 Posted May 18, 2011 In spite of my absence from the PUP this season, and these boards in general, I''m tempted... can I see an attendance list before I make my decision? [;)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

crabbycanary 2 Posted May 18, 2011 Just for the uninitiated (that''ll be me then) can you tell me what the PUP''s are/is? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Excited Canary 19 Posted May 18, 2011 [quote user="crabbycanary"]Just for the uninitiated (that''ll be me then) can you tell me what the PUP''s are/is?[/quote]The Pink''un Pickers. From Wednesday each week, all the PUPS post a fixture and result that they think will come off and each week a different PUP will be in charge. On the Friday the PUP in charge chooses 6 fixtures that - if we win- raises money for Norwich City Youth. This is all thanks to Ardee (the creator - I think), Nutty (the person now in charge) and Billy who very kindly gives us the free bet each week!Check it out next season, it is always at the top of the list of threads ''Rays Funds for Foncy''.

Evil Monkey 52 Posted May 18, 2011 I''m very tempted, especially by the sausages - when I was living in Manchester Ray was kind enough to send me a free sample of his finest bangers in the post, in a little tin! The man was a legend and I think its about time I honour him by turning up to one of these things.I''m a bit shy though, I''ll only come if everyone cheers loudly and chants my name as I walk in, preferably to sound of Eye of the Tiger...

Gingerpele 0 Posted May 18, 2011 Well, you do deserve such an entrance Evil monkey, if only for your work on the Pinkuns top 10 films thread (and the other one, was it top 10 albums... About time you started another one :P)I would love to come, but am in Canterbury. Next time NN, i think you should contact me first before arranging a date :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,902 Posted May 19, 2011 [quote user="crabbycanary"]Just for the uninitiated (that''ll be me then) can you tell me what the PUP''s are/is?[/quote]Exactly as Excited has posted crabby. Since Arrdee''s first ever thread the pink un pickers have raised £1298 for FONCY to help develope our youngsters in the academy. PUPs is open to all Pink Un posters and between 50 and 60 PUPs from all over the world take part every week through the season. A lot of friendships have been forged through these threads and those of us who can get there meet up for socials a few times a year. You would be most welcome to come along.

Leedscanary 389 Posted May 20, 2011 Nutty, as discussed in The Nelson, I can''t make this one mate. Really sorry, but the brownie points have all been used up! I am however in the process of earning lots more, ready for the Presentation night and the forthcoming Prem adventure! Hope everyone has a great night!
