Founders Night

I went to the one in Cambridge organised by John Groves. There were 22 at the table and we duly saluted the club at 9pm. There were some fantastic stories told, photographs to look at and even a 1928 triple.
 
More later.

  1. Sheila & I went to the one at Windwhistle, near Chard.  Over 50 of us there - very well organised by Anne & Tim Whellock.  Glad the Cambridge one went well.  What news of the others?

  2. 20 of us sat down at Whittington near Worcester.    My calculations claim that we had about two hundred years of membership present.   Toasts at 9:00pm and a round of cheers for the club as well.

  3. An excellent night was had by a bakers dozen at the Robin Hood. The northerners may be small in number but big in determination with some coming up from Yorkshire. We raised our glasses at 9pm, somewhat to the surprise of the other diners in the restaurant who seemed happier when we explained we had nothing to do with cricket. We rang John Aley who was clearly enjoying a similar good evening and gave him a chorus of happy birthday to you ( I hope he realises that we were celebrating the club's centenary and not his!) Tony
