Wining Out in Chester

14 November 2019 by Il Vino of Chester

Major leak – club demands enquiry says Il Vino of Chester

Chester club was up in arms today when it heard that details of its closely guarded secret vintage wine had leaked out to the North West croquet world. How it happened is a mystery and suggestions that it had been secretly filmed in the handbag of some one leaving  a Chester restaurant late at night were dismissed as ” scurrilous”. The whistle blower who forwarded details to this website bottled out on disclosing his identity.

Andre, the sommelier of the world famous East Lancs (no West Riding) gourmet restaurant commented ” This is a complete surprise to me . As you know I love visiting the sloping lawns of Chester but have never seen the well hidden vineyard. I had heard rumours that the grapes were harvested in a novel way involving the swinging of a croquet mallet.

Suggestions that the market for this wine was being Rigged were dismissed as baseless as were rumours that Wilson of the Wizard fame used to train on it.

Salute !

Croquet Gazette on Have I Got News For You

31 October 2019 by CA Website

“This weeks featured magazine is the Croquet Gazette….”

Have I Got News For You by Dr Eugene Chang at Cheltenham 

‘The Croquet Gazette’ will feature in this week’s episode of ‘Have I Got News For You’, to be broadcast on BBC1 at 9pm on Friday 1st November 2019. The programme will then be available on the BBC iPlayer on demand service for 30 days.

Unfortunately, due to the nature of the recording, the publication might not make it into the final edit of the programme. This is due to the original record lasting approximately two hours but the final cut lasting just under thirty minutes. That said, it is likely the publication will be featured in the main show, and at the very least in the extended show, ‘Have I Got A Bit More News For You’, which is broadcast late on Monday evening.
