I would therefore like to publicly invite Marvin, Chairtoy of the Disresponsible Nodpots, to contribute an article on the history of the DNs, the ups and downs, and what the future promises. I think I could promise a fascinated audience.
To celebrate the occasion, most of the Nodpots travelled to the Big Smoke (otherwise known as Dublin). Blueberry refused to travel, and Rusty was unable to. In Dublin, the travelling DNs (Inkpot, Marvin, Parsley, Mungo and Sparkie) met up with those who habitually remain there (October, November and Inkpot). The more sporty Nodpots then headed out to Kilmacanogue for some rifle practice and clay pigeon shooting.

Reloading for more...
A less than scary sniper...Returning with a fine bag, the Nodpots then turned their attention to lunch and Frasier, afterwards allowing Cocoa and Champagne (who strangely turned up for DN Day) a chance to play Balders Gate.
In time honoured fashion, the Nodpots then requested a nap before going out for dinner (though I believe they may have watched Frasier instead, to C & C's disgust).
Looks as happy as C & C as they decimate their enemies...Dinner on this momentuous occasion was in Bellagios, Terenure. We have no photos or records from this meal, but our understanding is that it was most enjoyable. Then back to Churchtown to finish the evening off with Balders Gate.
To celebrate the day properly, the country DNs stayed the night, only returning home the next day after a traditional breakfast (and more Balders Gate).
Was it really a Cocoa and Champagne day out, I wonder?
Anyway, we managed to purloin a few snaps of some of the DNs on the range (see above & below).
Bulls eye!
My shoulder aches

looks really good - can i go next time?
Do you mean to the shooting (I'm sure you'd enjoy it if you have a vioent streak in you, like some of theose Noddies) or to the DN 10th Anniversary party (which I don't think will happen again)?
I'm sure they all had great fun!
the 10th anniversary was a really brilliant day. I don't think Amelia Sachs or Annie Oakley should be worried, but the shooting was great fun, we got great weather and it is something I would like to try again. The meal out in the evening was really relaxing with good company and delicious food. It was nice reinstating the naps in the afternoon as well. I can't believe the DN's have been going 10 years already! Where has the time gone? Why did they start in the first place? Who knows, who knows.
