Brunch on the Beach

With the most beautiful weather we have had in a long time over a weekend, it was decided that we needed to do something about it. Alan organised a Brunch on the Beach, and we all set off to Middle Beach opposite the Clubhouse for some R&R on the beach.

Scramble eggs, crispy bacon, tomato & onion stew, fresh strawberries, crispy apples, mini Scotch pancakes, Champagne, orange juice, mango juice, a few beers, and fresh rolls - what a spread.

We have found it!!!

Little did Alex/Kenton know that when we raided some trophies from the Grahamstown 11 clubhouse last week, that we would be making history in the Eastern Province Area.

A long-lost trophy, rarely seen by even the most veteran of Tablers, has finally come to light. The Wink-Preston Trophy has finally come to light after more than a decade of hiding in the shadows.

At last!

Grahamstown 11 Raid

On Wednesday, 8th May, we travelled up to Grahamstown - Fabrizio, Jacques, Ockie, Guillym and myself. Eugene Catherine from Port Alfred 177 joined us - thanks, Huge!

A great meeting followed, with some fellowship and much banter in the meeting. We ALL managed to pace ourselves, which is more than can be said of others... :-)

We managed to raid back some of our stuff that Grahamstown 11 had raided over a year ago, as well as getting our own back by raiding some of theirs at the same time. As always, it was great travelling in a group and seeing the guys again.

Catch-up

Ever get that feeling that you can't seem to catch-up? The more you think about it, the worse it seems to get, and the longer you put it off the harder it seems.

Guillym and I travelled through to Cradock 37's meeting recently, and not only was the drive up and back enjoyable but we also got to meet some great Tablers. We were kindly home-hosted by Jacques van Newenhuys.

We managed to find Harry Potter's grave (at 12.05am!!!) in the graveyard, which is something else one can tick off the bucket list. Great fun as always!
