The 2017 Ab Outing

[sunny-dave]

It's been a while - but it's about time we had a meeting for some beer & fun.

I'm going (with at least a couple of other ABers) to the first day of the first ever day/night Test Match in England :

England v W Indies - Edgbaston, Birmingham - Thursday 17th August

If you are interested in joining us, then email my throwaway - [email protected] - and we'll take it from there.

HOWZAT for an idea?

[tonyav]

Aw go on then.

[Prudie]

If only it wasn't cricket :-(

[mazie]

Can the next get together be a non sporty one please Dave. x

[anneasquith]

Bit of luck there G :-)

[jno]

Prudie, the point of cricket is to enjoy the company; it's considered acceptable, but not mandatory, to watch the game about twice in each over. The only rule is that if you should happen to see someone hit the ball you should say "Shot, sir!"

[gness]

You telling me, Anne.....but I have already got my ticket.....though I may be tempted to mix with the abers for a pint...perhaps.... ;-)

Mazie.....I'll see if I can get him to arrange a spa day?....x

[mazie]

I hate Spa's gness. I hate pampering and sitting about and being fussed over.

[gness]

Hell's bells, Mazie!!! Okay....Knit for Peace do knitting weekends....I'll see what he says to that?...x

[mazie]

Nah..I'm a bit sick of knitting. Can't we have a Rave weekend?

[-SharonA-]

I would like a non sporty day too! Why not all just meet up for a drink in a nice pub??

[Prudie]

I've only been to a cricket match once and did spend the whole time talking.

[gness]

Blimey o'reilly.....you're a hard lot to please! I love cricket...but I'll go with you lot.....

Sharon...you're in Miami....we could all come there....find us a pub and we're on our way......

Mazie......we're coming over the border later in the year when we get our passports and midge repellent....you find us a rave....

Prudie....just come to the cricket.....we can talk...... :-)

[Tilly2]

[Tilly2]
