This is the copy from the second edition of the newsletter to keep you up to date with the details of our Easter Tour, to Devon & Cornwall from Friday 28th to Sunday 30th March, 2008

NUMBERS

20 players have signed up, all having paid a £25 deposit, and there are a total of 11 coaches and assorted helpers coming as well.

We’ve had to hire a bigger bus!

FUND RAISING NEWS
You have so far raised over £2,400 towards the budget costs of £4,000, (about £130 per head)

The coach costs £1,200 for the 3 days, and the hotel £2,000.
Don’t forget your weekly £1 donation to Chris Meggs, to cover your own personal contribution of £50 and keep volunteering for the various events.

The cooks at the BBQ for the St Jo’s reunion match raised £111.

Malcolm Lane has been given a £200 donation by Sizewell Security.

The next fund raising event is the Horror Disco on Friday the 30th November starting at 7.30pm. The challenge is for you each to find 2 live girls and other friends to pay £5 for a ticket to see Lurch and Uncle Fester spin the discs. Free drinks provided. Fancy dress is optional:- some won’t need or require disguise, and you know who you are.

The Bag packing date will be announced shortly.

Each bottle of fine Australian wine we raffle, kindly donated by Percy Fox & Co raises another £20.

KIT Sponsored by Nigel Lawrence.

Chris Meggs will shortly be asking all Tour members for your shirt and track suit size, so he can order the Tour Kit. Bear in mind that you will grow between now and March, and that you will be wearing the tracksuit over other clothes. You will need to choose the two initials you want on your kit tracksuit.
