Northgate survive cake, ale and gin

For many years, Northgate have been threatening promising to return to Oxford on St Mabel's Day, and as those years passed we have been making increasingly poor excuses for our absence. But not this year! Oh no. Because this year, only one of us managed to come up with a reasonable excuse, leaving the others with no option but to attend.

And what a day it was!

Sadly, no photos or videos yet exist of this event. Well, they might, but no one has sent them to  your correspondent. Assuming they do exist, they'll turn up here soon. Unless they don't.

Northgate take Larkhall by storm (again)

Northgate have now completed our eighteenth year of bringing quality entertainment to the masses, and celebrated in their own, inimitable style by invading the pubs of Larkhall... again!

New dates for the diary

We have now decided on three (yes, three!) crawls in the run-up to Christmas: one in Bath, one in Oxford and one in Bristol. See the Events page for more exciting details.

Happy birthday Northgate!

We are now officially come of age, having made it to eighteen years old! Happy birthday us.

Tour success: new member debagged!

Yes indeed, Friday's crawl turned out to be a make or break night for our new Number 3, who showed his mettle superbly, leading to his ritual debagging in The Star! This is a big moment for a Northgatian, leaving behind as he does his long trousers and entering the world of proper kit, viz. the hoggers. A proud moment indeed.

Here we see proud Edwin being serviced by Jenny the Nurse:

Last practice before crawl

Well, it's the last practice before our one of our new chaps takes to the floor in a public place. To help him along in training for this difficult task, I'm not going to be around this week. It's either that or I miss my wife's birthday.
