SOCIAL HOME THE RULES THE GALLERY
HOME
The club has a very active social side and over the years a number of rules have been established to increase the enjoyment (usually for those watching).

The Woodruff Rule

Always in place whenever two or more members of the club are present.

  • On even days of the month (i.e. 20th, 14th etc.) you drink with your left hand.
  • On odd days of the month (i.e. 21st, 15th etc.) you drink with your right hand.
  • On pub crawls you will be given a list of pubs with either port(left) or starboard(right) next to them you must use this hand to drink with.
  • On special occasions (trips etc.) the half hour rule may be invoked. Minutes past the hour are right hand Minutes to the hour are left hand.
  • ..Unless the reverse half hour rule is invoked.
  • ..Or the 15 minute rule.
  • Calling a Woodruff on a person drinking non-alcoholic drinks is a woodruff.
  • As is calling a false woodruff.
  • Licking beer off of the wrong hand is a technical woodruff.
  • As is drinking with no hands or both hands or a straw
  • AND drinking from the wrong hand of someone else.

    There are many variations on the theme, it's best to keep you eyes and ears open.

    Don't drink near Malcs.........ever.

The Golfball

If some s*d puts a golfball in your pint, this is a bad thing. You have to down it like the young lady opposite did.

Touching The Cup

A relative newcomer, first introduced in October 2000. This game involves a cup and a coin. That's all I'll say about that, the rules are far too complicated to explain and they keep changing.

These pictures from the Portland trip might help..........
