PETER HOLLIBONE – EARL OF WOMBATSHIRE

THE EARL WILL BE ON HIS 19TH CONSECUTIVE CHIANG MAI TOURNAMENT, AND WILL LEAD THE WOMBATS ON THEIR USUAL TRAIL THROUGH THE BARS OF PATPONG AND CHIANG MAI.

NEVILLE CLEARSON (NIFTUS ERECTUS) – POET LAUREATE

WE ANTICIPATE THAT NIFTY WILL AGAIN BE IN GOOD VOICE WITH HIS MANY LIMERICKS.  HIS WOBBLY KNEES WILL LIMIT HIS RUNNING ON THE FIELD OF PLAY EXCEPT AFTER DARK AT THE SPOTLIGHT BAR.

KEN DASHWOOD (DASHER) - CHIEF CONSTABLE OF THE KINGDOM OF BULLENGAROOK

DASHER IS THE WOMBATS ENFORCER, PARTICULARLY WHEN IT COMES TO SHEPHERDING WOMBATS THROUGH THE NIGHT.  ALSO IN CHARGE OF DISCIPLINE AND WHIPPING IN OF ANY CAMP FOLLOWERS.

ALAN TASKER (FIGARO) – WOMBAT COURT JESTER

ALAN HAS HAD A HIP REPLACEMENT AND MAY HAVE MORE TIME TO HONE HIS SPECIAL SKILLS WITH A RAZOR.  HE IS AVAILABLE FOR USE AS THE HEAVY ROLLER ON THE PITCH.

PETER NITSCHKE (WOOLEY)

WOOLEY IS THE SOMMELIER OF THE WOMBAT TROUPE.  HIS LONG EXPERIENCE AS A VIGNERON ENTITLES WOOLEY TO OVERSEE THE ACQUISITION AND CONSUMPTION OF UNCOMMONLY GOOD RED WINE.

IAN CHIPPENDALE (THE DOC) – MINISTER OF HEALTH, WELFARE AND FOREIGN AFFAIRS.

THE DOC IS THE WOMBAT WITCHDOCTOR, DISPENSING PILLS, POTIONS AND ADVICE FOR ALL COMPLAINTS (MEDICAL AND OTHERWISE).  HE IS PARTICULARLY ADEPT AT ATTENDING TO FEMALE PATIENTS WITH HIS EXCELLENT BEDSIDE MANNER.

GRAEME HARRY – WOMBAT BAG MAN

OFTEN SEEN WANDERING THE BARS OF PATPONG.  WE SUSPECT THAT HIS WRAPPING UP EXPERIENCES ARE USED TO COLLECT BAR SPECIMENS FOR CLOSER BEDROOM ANALYSIS.

JOHN CONGLETON – ARCHBISHOP OF BULLENGAROOK

J. C. HAS AN UNENVIABLE TASK IN ENDEAVOURING TO DISPENSE SPIRITUAL GUIDANCE TO THE WOMBATS.  HE IS MUCH MORE SUCCESSFUL IN CONDUCTING MARRIAGES AND BAPTISMS WITH FEES BEING CHARGED IN BOTTLES OF UNCOMMONLY GOOD COMMUNION WINE.

JOHN WEBSTER

LIKE POPEYE, JOHN IS NOW INTO OLIVE OIL.  HE IS CURRENTLY PRESSING HIS OLIVES SO ANY SPOTLIGHT LADY WITH THE NAME OF OLIVE MAY RECEIVE SPECIAL ATTENTION.

RICK DALLAS – MINISTER FOR FISHERIES AND OTHER SMELLY THINGS

HIS CONNECTION WITH THE RUSSIAN MAFIA AND HIS EXPERIENCES IN THE TRUCKING INDUSTRY MAKE RICK IDEALLY SUITED TO THE PREVIOUSLY DORMANT TITLE OF MINISTER FOR FISHERIES.  HE IS REPUTED TO BE ABLE TO ARRANGE ANYTHING REQUIRED FOR A SUITABLE FEE AND SOMETIMES ANSWERS TO THE NAME OF ‘RASPUTIN'.

PAUL MURPHY (MURPH)

A PRODIGIOUS CRICKETING TALENT FROM THE WILDS OF NORTH WALES.  THE ONLY GENUINE WOMBAT IN THE U.K.   WOMBAT OFFICIAL ENTRANT IN ALL DRINKING COMPETITIONS AND WE CONGRATULATE MURPH ON HIS CONTINUING SUCCESS IN HANDLING MULTIPLE FEMALE NURSES ALL AT THE SAME TIME. 

THONGROP "DAN" TASITI

QUITE SHY BOY WITH A REAL STING IN HIS BOWLING. HE IS SURE TO LIVEN UP THE WOMBAT BOYS. VERY DECEPTIVE AS HE COMES OF A VERY SHORT RUN AND DELIVERS THUNDERBOLTS. WILL BE REAL ASSET TO THE TEAM IN THE FIELD. WE WILL ACTUALLY SEE A WOMBAT RUN WHEN CHASING THE BALL. BATTING IS A LITTLE SUSPECT SO SHOULD BE RIGHT AT HOME HERE. A NON DRINKER SO HOW WILL HE FIT IN?

BEN VARNEY

WHAT CAN YOU SAY? A WOMBAT THAT CAN RUN, BOWL AND BAT AS WELL AS FIELD. BOWLS LOVELY OFF CUTTERS WHICH COME UP AROUND THE RIBS, SHOULD ACTUALLY PLAY IN A HIGHER GRADE. HOWEVER SOME ONE HAS TO CARRY THE LOAD OF THIS AGING TEAM. HAS COME THROUGH THE JUNIOR CRICKET PROGRAM AND IS LOOKING FORWARD TO MIXING IT WITH THE BIG BOYS.
