Blue Chairs Selected for England

England cricket selector David Graveney appears to have selected the blue chairs for the Ashes tour! I suspect he likes the fact that they are difficult to knock over, are not fazed by 'Aussie banter' and are untroubled by movement!

Vikram Solanki and Luke Sutton pick up a few tips from the chairs at Shrewsbury School's new indoor cricket centre. Numerous players have already benefited from the coaching supplied by the blue chairs which is said to be unemotional,undemonstrative and unequivocal.

Pat Gibson (cricket correspondent for the Times) interviews the chairs about their role at Shrewsbury School. He later said he found the chairs unwilling to divulge much information but thanked them for their time.

Arthur's Blue Seats!

The blue chairs found themselves looking down on Edinburgh during the festival. They had gone there to see the Shrewsbury School production of Frankenstein which was a monster of a hit with everyone!

Here are some of the cast members who helped the chairs to reach what for any chair is something of a life time ambition - to reach Arthur's seat!

Vinoj Srinivisan (India's superman) was largely responsible for the welfare of the chairs in Edinburgh and we felt it only right that he should be pictured on the Movement's website! I am sorry that Ashley Giles creeps in again but he is always hanging around blue chair heroes such as VJ!

George's seat. You should know that this man who looks like he should have been in Braveheart, which is why his picture is here, gained an A and two Bs at A level despite running a 10 km race with a blue chair attached to his back just before the exams.

Chef chairs!

The chairs had a very tasty time meeting top chef Franco Taruschio at the Greenfield cookery school in Bedfordshire. Franco used to run the fantastic Walnut tree restaurant and is heavily involved in raising money for St. Anne's Hospice in Newport.

They also met another top chef; Trace Buggins who runs the Black Horse Gastro pub in Ireland near Shefford, Bedfordshire. He looks quite scarey despite having the funniest name the blue chairs have come across so far! He is in fact another top Blue Chair hero and we recommend visiting him and trying his food - but you had better like it!!!

The chairs join their friends at Ashley Giles's Benefit ball.

Professor Charlie Craddock (a world expert on Leukaemia and big cricket fan,)celebrates his purchase of a stump from the final Ashes test signed by all the England team!

Dave Bassett enjoying life away from football - although Leeds........................!!!

BBC Rugby Commentator and ex Scottish International Ian Robertson and Amelia (New Zealand singer) enjoy the comfort of the blue chairs.

England's Matthew Hoggard gives the blue chairs a lift!

Geraint Jones can't relax in his efforts to get his England place back.!

The Blue Chairs enjoy getting on down and urge others to do the same!

Ashley Giles and Graeme Hick enjoy a quick breather courteousy of the chairs. The Blue Chair Movement would like to thank Ashley for supporting Cure Leukaemia during his benefit year.He has done a great job as have the Cure Leukaemia team.

Hounding the Chairs!

Cute or what?!

Cannes Chairs!

Over the summer the chairs seem to have lost weight or are these merely models of our favourite twosome? Spotted in Cannes for the Premiere of Garry Otter and the Trunk of Blood (the worst film ever made but available to you if you want a copy through this site!), are they really our chairs?

The Chairs are well-balanced!

Despite rumours to the contrary the blue chairs and everyone connected with them are entirely well-balanced! You would have to be mad to think otherwise! Robbie Pennoyer (pictured here with the chairs), began balancing acts when he was bored at home. "I began balancing acts at home when I was bored" he said. He can be hired for parties but lives in the USA - contact the bluechairs if you can afford to fly him back here and enjoy this type of stuff! (He can balance other things too!).

Cultural Chairs

The chairs enjoyed a day out at York Minister. They were impressed by the choir but apparently prefer listening to the 'Blues!'

Then it was down the road to Skipton Castle courtesy of Blue Chair Hero Nick Carling. Yorkshiremen pride themselves on being bluff and tough but actually you are looking at the birthplace of skipping! Legend has it that the early exponents of skipping were being teased for being too girlie and sensitive so they built a castle where they could skip in safety without prying eyes laughing at them when they got the rope tangled over their heads! Actually boxers and fitness fanatics like skipping; so 'respect' to all you skippers out there!

Finally it was on to Elland road where Leeds United generously gave more goals and points away to a group of visitors! Looks like a nice Stadium for a Coca Cola Division 1 club!
