I would just like to add my thanks to Hailsham Chris for the organisation. A splendid few days. Some great company and an interesting game of cricket - even if the result went the wrong way. Thanks lads for making us newbies welcome.

Already booked the time off for Worcester so hope to meet up again there if not before.

I would echo Panther's recommendation form others to join in.

Good morning all,

Just to say thank you to Hailsam Chris for his organisation and the club for their assistance. The hotel was welcoming and wow what a breakfast!!

Nice to meet Sherpah Chris and Panther John for the first time and hopefully not the last. Also good to meet up again with Allicat and Mr Allicatt. Also glad that DC (sorry TC now) made it all the way from Port of Spain, Trinidad to Northampton - some dedication to Sussex cricket.

Til the next time...

David

Just a note from TC to say thanks to you all for making it a super jolly.What a well balanced bunch we are and a great time was had by all despite the result and the Brazilian steakhouse incident.Thanks too to Halisham Chris for dropping me to Gatwick airport and keeping an eye on Woodies rather suspect driving.

Northampton was very suitable for a jolly and judging from the way we played we will have more opportunities to visit again.

The highlight for me (apart from the Brazilian steakhouse and eating an entire pig farm for brealkfast) was the induction into the inner circle for myself Panther and Sherpa Chris(formerly Staffordshire Chris). Being part of the inner circle I was present when the momentous decision was made to open a new section for Bognor Regis and I am pleased to see it was implementeda already.

A big thank you to Robbo for taking the time to visit and for his patience in listing to our views on all subjects. We all agreed we had no idea how we lost and it shouldnt have happened.Deja vu all over again.

A very enjoyable debut for myself. It was really good to meet the Messageboard regulars who were most welcoming & lived up to all my expectations!

I would thoroughly recommend future Jolly's to any potential 'newbies'. Let's hope we can sort another one out for the last match at Worcester & we have something to celebrate.

Thanks to Hailsham Chris for doing the organising & finding an excellent hotel.

glad you had a good time . Obviously the car behaved this time?

I take it the Italian Restaurants food was not up to the standard served by Mrs S??

Well a thorioughly successful jolly this year, despite the result and Northampton not being the plushest of towns. Stafford (Sherpah) Chris and Panther John and of course TC, who had no sofa to hide behind were very welcome additions to the usual motley crew. We found some nice places to eat, although the Italian was a little strange, and the hotel was excellent, offering a huge breakfast each day, and was great value. Thanks to Chris for organising it

Gutted not to be going tomorrow, it's probably only one of three weeks this year I couldn't do.
Oh well I guess I will be the only one keeping Bruce company on the blog.

Don't own a lap top so I'll be out for a beer and a curry although have to confess I'm a light weight drinker!

Looking forward to meeting up tomorrow.

Glad to hear the hotel accomodation is ok TC, look forward to meeting you tomorrow, hopefully just after breakfast.
