Hello,
I wonder if you might like to know that one of the founders of Dwile Flonking, Rob Devereux, died a few weeks ago. Rob, along with Andy Leverett and George High actually invented the game in 1967 whilst pretending that the rules were found in an attic in Bungay, Suffolk.
Regards,
Robert Knights

Sorry to hear about Bob (Traffer),

"Grabber" Roberts

Always sorry to hear of our original Clays vs Clowes flonkers passing?!
Rest in Adnams Ale, fellow flonker! :-(
I have the original 1966 rule book if anybody is interested? Transcribed into Word or PDF as you see fit, also in A4 or A3 booklet format.
Always useful when confronting the jobbernowl at the Dwilr Flonking World Championships at Geldeston Locks each year?
mail me at alanplayford@ntlworld.com if wanting a copy (state which format).
