Our
hosts for the weekend, the wonderful Windsor Morris. Plus intruder. |

with the other guest teams - us, Bristol, Great Western, 7 Champions |
At
the 70s themed evening, Barry Manilow is there with his family |
|
|
|
More
of the guests, including one of the 'calm down' scousers |
David
managed to find a 70s darts players outfit - or possibly some BB
styled nightwear |
Long
dresses and wide brimmed hats proved popular |
|
|
|
Yeah!
It's the 70s! Let's (mostly) rock! |
Later
on, David led a rousing rendition of 'In The Bedlams'... |
...
with some highly tasteful outfits ... |
|
|
|
...
and some immaculately choreographed routines ... |
...
though Mark had some trouble with his moustache ... |
...
and Roy with his helmet ... |
|
|
|
...
but there was no holding the back line when they got going ... |
...
towards a rousing finish... |
...
who wouldn't want to be in the Bedlams today?? |
|
|
|
Next
day, there was a hint of rain at Cliveden |
Most
of BB found a novel way to get off after 3 by 3. |
After
Coconuts outside the Orangery Cafe, the cleaners were swiftly in to tidy
up. |
|
|
|
Knees
Up with Great Western ... |
...
going all right so far ... |
...
but the hands on knees bit proved tricky. |
