They were under starter's orders... and they were away.... …the
start of the 10th year of Tonsley Events was marked by one of the largest put
on by the Tonsley crew for many years. 150 friends gathered
for Tonsley Ten – “A Day at the Races”. Despite the weather's best
attempts to dampen spirits, the day was full of fun for the children, catching
up with old friends and some not so serious betting! Lots
of photos are now up in the Past Events section. |

Winter 2009. Britain is in the grip of the harshest recession
in the working lives of many Tonsley Time Tourists, plus one of the potentially
wettest winters in living memory is taking hold. The lure of a wet weekend in
Portsmouth was too much for most, and so the troops gathered to indulge their
fantasies of a new era in British wartime history, namely the Battle of Trafalgar
of 1815. “There is no way of dealing with
the Frenchman but to knock him down - to be civil to them is to be laughed at.
Why they are enemies!" (Admiral Horatio Nelson). |

2010 brings the follow up tour to the Tonsley Golf Society's
launch event. Two rounds will be played across a mixture
of fourballs and playing stableford formats with big prizes at stake for the winners.
2010 will see an extended tour
list - Belmont Lodge will host the team of 20 in a fantastic full-board winter
package. And, of course, it's all neatly scheduled around the weekend's Six Nations
games! And the team lists are now
up! |

900 miles, 10 days, two cyclists and four sore butt cheeks... As
some will know, a dear friend to Tonsley Events, Dick Bruce, died last year after
a tough and difficult fight with cancer. Much of his last few months was spent
at the Alexandra Unit of the Dumfries & Galloway Royal Infirmary. To raise
money for the Unit, Joe and Rob departed John O’Groats on 24 May and arrived
at Land's End on 2 June. The expedition visited the Unit en-route and finished
at Land's End on the anniversary of Dick’s death. The blog and photos record
a remarkable trip. |

In the early days, we staged the possiblilty of a online shop
at Tonsley Events as another unlikely idea. Like many before it though, this one's
now reality and, yes, we really do now have a shop! It's worth re-iterating though:
Tonsley Events is a not-for-profit organisation / a ridiculous past-time... we
all have paying day jobs! And you can rest assured,
this shop uses the same techonology as the biggest companies on the internet.
All transactions are handled over secure servers - ie. totally safe. |
