New Year, New Babe

lilly-rose-small Congratulations from all at The Weekly Poker Club to Albion players Carly McKenna and Jamie Pretty Boy Loudon on the arrival of Lilly Rose in the late hours of New Year's Eve. And also congratulations to Paul Huggy Bear Margo for winning the sweepstake on the baby's weight, 9lb 5oz. Landlord Darren Read commented that he put the 'good weight of the infant down to the exceptional quality and range of snacks and chocolates that he made available to Carly during her pregnancy'. Commiserations to Jonno, who had picked the only two larger abvailable sizes on the sweepstake board, 9lb 6oz and 9lb 7oz as his choice. The Vulture said that 'he regrets not buying Carly a few more Mars Bars during the run in in order to shore up the bounty'. Carlie and Jamie met through TWPC at The Albion and continually call each other 'Babe'. So this addition to the family will guarantee to cause confusion. Lilly Rose was due to arrive on Christmas Day and the Albion's players had a new experience over the Christmas holidays following the trials and tribulations of following the updates on FaceBook throughout the festivities. At less than four days old, Lilly Rose came to The Albion's Monday event and in her first game flopped a Royal Flush. A diamond moment for a real little gem.
