Saturday was a very difficult day.

Due to excessive precipitation, leading to a flooded pitch, the game against Scarborough was cancelled

Which meant that the afternoon had to be spent drinking, playing games and frolicking naked around the pitch. The following pictures tell their own story........

Drinking instead of playing.....

nobody wanted that.

Mat went a bit hazy after some Vodka

Jamie rose to the occasion and won BUZZ!!

It's often more comfortable if you loosen your clothing during a heavy drinking session (though obviously KEEP the gasmask on)

Don't EVER play spoons with Mac......he's good.






Following the afternoon entertainment and non-stop drinking, it was decided that the best thing we could do was pop into a Tap & Spile Real Ale pub for some light refreshment.

Great idea, let's all drink some strong traditional beer, have a bugle contest, race the landlord over a pint of Guinness and a double Navy Rum and get the Judge to sing Allouette - the very rude version!

Despite dire warnings that no good would come of this carousing, some people did drink to excess and I have to report that in the confusion two of our party either ran away or were stolen.

Jeff & Frances, the Essington smooth bellied lizards did NOT return with us. They are gone, lost, mis-placed. they are ex-lizards, no longer will we hear their cheeky little chirrups of excitement as their bottle was filled up with some strange new spirit. Never again will we see them scampering around a rugby clubhouse thrilling young ladies and chilling old men. No - because Mat Myatt LOST THEM!!!!!

Here's a picture of Mat explaining how it happened and not looking terribly contrite!!
