Chocolate lovers of 1947"We met in 1947 and we're addicted to chocolate" - Tim and Dave H, hankering for Mars Bars on a constant-flow basis at the Ponsmere bar Adie Barrett in bed?In a typical early morning pose (well, eleven o'clock, actually) the results of one too many bitter shandies with a ribena chaser are all to plain to see
the Ponsmere barAnd this is where it all happenned. Well, most of it actually. The famous couch where 1997's "Blottery" classic stems from is not in this pic Jay Stephens in actionOh yes, and this is what the tour is really about. Jay Stephens is about to strike a boundary in our good win over Perranporth, only the second win in five meetings
I am the keeper of the ballsIn an unusually individual pose Howard Turner places the blottery bag on his heaad while mumbling "I am the keeper of the balls..." Here's one for the futureWhilst wandering aimlessly around the pool tables of the Ponsmere bar, I was confronted by Matt, lollipops in gob, saying "Here's one for the future..."
On the beachJason Stephens takes time out to wander along the miles of golden sand at Perranporth. Behind him is Gull Rock A tender momentBeefy again, aware that Jowallika is very nearby, but maybe not aware that Jay is surely moving in on him, just prior to bodily contact.....
What Car?Oh yes. Tim's lovely car was not where he left it the night before. Dave Hurren has no idea what he's talking about, or so he makes Tim think... The PonsmereThe Ponsmere from the beach. The modern facade actually hides a maze of older, inter-connected buildings, the original of which dates back nearly to the beginning of the last century
The bag of balls....On any tour evening we are expected to take part in the "Blottery." Pick 6 from 49 numbers, then six accordingly numbered balls get drawn out. 1=half or short, 2=pint or double, etc. The infamous BlotteryOh-oh. This is one of the few times there is complete silence in a bar on ANY tour. All Blottery winners are caught on camera trying to dispose of their drink to make room for another Blottery....
