Okay, okay... it was last Wednesday, but I've been away!
Anyway, we did have a lovely afternoon with nine members managing to get along to the Mill Farm.
The food was good, the company excellent: Gavin & Terry were greedy pigs opting for the large carvery of 3 meats, sausage, steak & kidney pie + all the veg that could be crammed on the platter. Gavin somehow managed to wrestle down a treacle sponge, once he'd seen the loveliness sat in front of Jim & Neil: he said it was part of his pre-season cricket preparation. But the high point was the chocolate fudge cake ordered by Jason & Linda; with ice cream, it turned out to be pretty much a whole side of black forest gateau - 'twas the equivalent of some 3 free range chocolate fudge cakes - they ended up sharing them around the table & still couldn't get'em finished; even with Chris giving it a manful try! The Roberts were being very good boys indeed, & chose but a small cheesecake & doing without respectively - you'll just have to guess!
It was a great change, & we will be doing something similar as we move into summer. To members that didn't manage to come along, remember you've already paid so get your diaries out!
Next up: Yonex All England Open - Thursday 10th March
- members may still obtain a subsidised ticket via Neil / Terry
