Naughty Boys of Finchley

Dedicated to public drinking and naughtiness in Finchley, with the occasional bit of charity fundraising thrown in.

Who?

The Naughty Boys of Finchley are a loose conglomeration of boys who simply failed to grow up. A bit like Peter Pan, if you will, but he is never recorded as having played golf, gone fishing, played pool or pétanque. He probably also never ducked work to go to the pub and watch the rugby or the Olympics.

If we think it’s fun we do it, and occasionally we do this work thing which subsidises our activities. Depending on the venue, we wear the home or away strip while we practise our naughtiness.

Home strip

Red with white letters.

Away strip

Yellow with green writing.

Pastimes

Golf, fishing, pool, pétanque, rugby, and a great deal of pub.

How it all began

The T-shirts

The story began with two ordinary blokes (NRD and NDF), hardly naughty at all, wearing Les Enfants Terribles T-shirts. One night at a raffle in the Malt and Hops, one of them won a prize (a gallon of beer, fittingly), and the cry went up: “There’s one for the Naughty Boys.” A monster was born…

NRD’s voicemail

Having got a name as a Naughty Boy, NRD set up a voicemail message to mark the status: “Hello, you’ve reached the Naughty Boy of Finchley, but I can’t get to the phone right now because I’m being too naughty.” He still has that momentous message to this day.

October 2003

The Naughty Boys of Finchley was founded as an association following a fairly drunken meeting at the Malt and Hops pub in North Finchley.

The Malt and Hops is our spiritual home. Visit the clubhouse or see what it looks like.

Nauti Buoy

In October 2005 we heard from a guy who had stumbled across our website because he used to own a boat cleverly named “Nauti Buoy”. He kindly submitted a photo.
