On the 5th of May 2007 we played minigolf course number 18 on the Crazy World of Minigolf Tour at the 9-hole Crazy Golf course at Luton's Wardown Park.
The course had been closed for around 4-5 years before the owner of the Refreshment Kiosk in the Park was able to re-open it in time for the summer of 2007.
I was the first paying customer to play a shot on the course following its re-opening!
We've since played it a number of times - including for the Irregular Mini Golf Tour Luton Cup throughout 2007. The competition was held over a number of weeks, with 302 holes of Crazy Golf played. I won, with Emily second. '?' picked up third place. Christopher Gottfried was 4th, and Helena Sundarajoo was 5th.

We haven't had the time to play the Crazy Golf course during its summer opening times in a few years, although we did play the Mini Golf/Putting course again in May 2010.
Video of the Crazy Golf course - 8th May 2010.
The 19th course played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour was the Mini Golf/Putting Course, also at Wardown Park, Luton.
An interesting fact about Miniature Golf in Luton is that there has been a course in the same location in Wardown Park since the 19th June 1934.

Ten Pin Bowling and a Wacky Waving Arm-Flailing Inflatable Tube-man
In November the Ham & Eggers tenpin bowling team are looking to once again win the prestigious Macmillan Cancer Support Annual Bowling Challenge. Ahead of the tournament we went for a few games of Tenpin Bowling at Namco Station in Luton at the weekend, where I was captured doing an (unintentional) impression of a Wacky Waving Arm-Flailing Inflatable Tube-man!

Wacky Waving Arm-Flailing Inflatable Tube-man spotted at a funfair in Luton
Following on from my spots of Wacky Waving Arm-Flailing Inflatable Tube-men (as sold by Al Harrington of Family Guy fame*) I found one advertising Slush Puppies at the Funfair at Wardown Park in Luton this evening.
While in the park I took a snap of the Mini & Crazy Golf course there.

Not so Wacky, Waving, Inflatable, Arm-Flailing, Tube-man in London
While in London I spotted a not so Wacky, Waving, Inflatable, Arm-Flailing, Tube-man this time advertising a Car Wash in Tower Hill!
Rather than the usual 'billowing and flailing' action of the Tube-Man it was so full of air it was completely static!
Check out the link below for other examples of Wacky, Waving, Inflatable, Arm-Flailing, Tube-men I've seen on my travels:
