Recreativo At The Movies
Feb 16th

It’s not just all about the football. The social side of our club brings the players together as friends away from the cooker pressure of first class football at Market Road! As the birthdays come round thick and fast, we find ourselves celebrating Storm’s 9th, sixteen of us in total squeezing onto the bus and heading deep into Arsenal territory to watch “Jumper” at Islington Vue. As always, we remind everyone that we should behave impeccably when going out as a team, but in truth we’re more than happy for everyone to go a little wild (as long as we don’t scare the grannies on the bus!).

The general consensus was that the film was “brilliant”, a kind of Matrix for a teenage audience. More than enough explosions, car chases and designer violence to keep this excitable bunch happy. We munch through copious amounts of popcorn and sweets and then all return to Storm’s for a Playstation session, more unhealthy party fodder and a Recreativo Juniors birthday cake. As Wallace and Grommit would say, “a grand day out!”.

Christmas Social 2007
Il Bacio Restaurant Sat Dec 8th

The very lovely Il Bacio Italian Restaurant on Church Street, Stoke Newington was the place to be today as the rain poured down outside.

It was a great way to spend the afternoon, tucked up inside with players and parents from the team. And just for once, it did not matter if no one wore their shin-pads!

The players table was overflowing with margherita pizzas, chocolate and strawberry ice cream, endless cokes and lemonades, the players busy swapping ‘Match Attax’ playing cards and debating football. Jaden, surely, must win the best dressed player award! To the oldies table meanwhile, was brought some gorgeous dishes of pasta and pizza and fine tasting vino rosso. It was really nice for us all to come together for this great social, to pour over our first few months as a team together, to talk football philosophies and listen to Anne-Marie’s and Robert’s “doing a runner from restaurants” stories!
We raised our glasses to the team and look forward to more social events in the new year.

Team : Jimmie, Anne-Marie, Jackie, Robert, Maureen, David, Carl, Sophie, Steve & the Under 9s.
