Neil Blain, Matt Cook & Pete Christensen .. FOUNDING MEMBERS

The Cardiff Korfball Hardcore Club (CKHCC) was founded last year on the first of December at the Manchester Korfball Tournament. On hearing that Matt, Pete and Neil had been to every korfball tournament that year, Liam Clark (BSKA President) announced that all three of them "are hardcore". From that moment Matt, Pete and Neil, who would come to be known as 'The Founding Members', pioneered the Hardcore Club, an institution formed to promote the pursuit of hardcoreness. The club was created to encourage the enjoyment of life and all it has to offer. Those that displayed a hardcore attitude to life, one that takes things to the max, would be rewarded with a position in the hardcore club. Being hardcore, however, cannot be defined by the number of tournaments you have been to, or the number of goals you scored, or the number of pints you drank. It is a state of mind, and must be learnt in the same way that a jedi must learn the ways of the force. Only then can you be hardcore. Photos: Hard McCore, Hard O'Core

Sexbomb Da bomb Monsieur la bomb Yasmin le bomb	John Gullick .. PRIME MINISTER
	Blokes, lock up your girlfriends from the man that sweats pure sex (and boy can this man sweat). When the hardcore club was created a long time ago in a galaxy far far away, John was pretty much instantaneously hardcore. John has been to every tournament except Lancaster and this was only because he was entertaining one of his ladies (we think). However, it was not long before John became ‘The Sexbomb’. His skill and popularity amongst women in general instantly earned him the respect of the founding members. Sexbomb is always first on the dancefloor being constantly ready to wow his entourage of ladies with his quivering behind. He is always up for a laugh except when he turns into an annoying bastard and decides to quit korfball at 4.30 am when everyone else is trying to get to sleep. But still, everyone loves Sexbomb especially when Tom Jones is playing. Be the tree John, be the tree. Photos: playing drinking game, with Pete & Jen
	Steph Rhymes .. MEMBER #2
	Steph became second member of the hardcore club under John. However, its no great shame to be beneath Sexbomb, in fact it’s actually quite an exciting experience (so we are told). Steph took part in the all-important Manchester and Leeds indie tournaments. She is rarely stressful and is always ready to take it to the max on the korfball floor, but most importantly has an undying respect for the founding member’s hardcore music tapes.

	Grace Stimpson .. MEMBER #3
	The founding members like to laugh at Grace’s misfortunes and she thinks this is funny. Ergo she is hardcore. Photos: playing drinking game, with Pete & Jen
