Didn't realise this is a one dayer, gonna try and make it presuming we get donked out of the team event thing at Star City (we have a fiery greek in our team so he'll probs lump em in). Great cause, and moving reading the background and about the bravery of Liam. Well done to Cheryl for the hard work in putting this together, hope it gets the support deserved....
thanks jeff, would be great if you can mention the event to people at star city as an alternative option should they have an early exit from the team game  .. hope to see you at DTD.. cheryl x

I know from my sons experiences that the army lads love a game of poker in the mess etc but as you say, to give a few of them the experience of DTD would be something else..x

Great idea - I'm going to try and rearrange a few bits to get to this. As well as being a good poker day it'll be a good social - and obviously all for a great cause.
Do you know if the Coldstreams are getting behind this and if its being advertised in Soldier mag etc?
Alot of lads play poker but are unaware of DTD - and its difficult arranging any real tournaments because of the 'gambling' rules/implications...
hi, im cheryl routledge who has organised this.. i have in mind to approach some of our sponsors before the event to sponsor some some soldiers into the event.. i have very close links with the coldstream guards as my son was attached to them whilst out in Afganistan and would definately be contacting them if this comes off..

aww, should have let me know i would have been there with mi pinny on... on this subject i have just put my finishing touches to my guide to being a good wife and girlfriend -
Have dinner ready. Plan ahead, even the night before, to have a delicious meal ready on time for his return. This is a way of letting him know that you have be thinking about him and are concerned about his needs. Most men are hungry when they get home and the prospect of a good meal is part of the warm welcome needed. Prepare yourself. Take 15 minutes to rest so you'll be refreshed when he arrives. Touch up your make-up, put a ribbon in your hair and be fresh-looking. He has just been with a lot of work-weary people. Be a little gay and a little more interesting for him. His boring day may need a lift and one of your duties is to provide it. Clear away the clutter. Make one last trip through the main part of the house just before your husband arrives. Run a dustcloth over the tables. During the cooler months of the year you should prepare and light a fire for him to unwind by. Your husband will feel he has reached a haven of rest and order, and it will give you a lift too. After all, catering to his comfort will provide you with immense personal satisfaction. Minimize all noise. At the time of his arrival, eliminate all noise of the washer, dryer or vacuum. Encourage the children to be quiet. Be happy to see him. Greet him with a warm smile and show sincerity in your desire to please him. Listen to him. You may have a dozen important things to tell him, but the moment of his arrival is not the time. Let him talk first - remember, his topics of conversation are more important than yours. Don't greet him with complaints and problems. Don't complain if he's late for dinner or even if he stays out all night. Count this as minor compared to what he might have gone through at work. Make him comfortable. Have him lean back in a comfortable chair or lie him down in the bedroom. Have a cool or warm drink ready for him. Arrange his pillow and offer to take off his shoes. Speak in a low, soothing and pleasant voice. Don't ask him questions about his actions or question his judgment or integrity. Remember, he is the master of the house and as such will always exercise his will with fairness and truthfulness. You have no right to question him. A good wife always knows her place.
