Dear Fellow Tourists

It seems that the Newmarch match reports report on the cricket played last week and nothing else! I would like to compile the tour diary so could you all give me some little piece of prose on your recollections, funny stories, etc. Huge has already done a piece about the Tuesday night shenanigans but from the uncivies flat perspective, could Spot please do one from the oldies side if possible?

As a mere woman and being married to Q I would not know about most of the goings on so I need stories being filled in.

Over to you guys - this is for glory on the web

Lady Q

Mostly, I caught up on some sleep and limped around a bit but I had a good time.

Cheers,

Steve.

Less of the old please Mrs Q, ' there's many a good tune played on an old fiddle you know ', anyway I don't remember the 'civies' throwing in the towel, although a towel would have proved useful after the localised shower. Did you hear how the 'oldies', i.e., Newmunch, Thorn Birds, V.J. (by invitation), Quibs and yours truly completely stuffed the pants off the 'young things', i.e., Coxy, a brace of Pains, sorry Paynes Shambles and Burkmeister by well over 300+ points at the Ten Pin Bowling on Thursday afternoon. Experience proves better than youthful exuberance every time!

More tour thoughts later.
