Tour reviews - the good, the bad and the ugly

Tour review - Ryan "The Cat" Phillips

Played two won two!

Great weather and a great time had by all.

Richard Sant scored the fastest 50 ever by an Alien. We think it was around 18 balls! AMAZING hitting.

Scorecards will be posted when the guys from France email them to me.

Thanks to all that attended and I hope all the wine survived the plane journey. Mine did!


Tour Review - James D Clowes

A great success! Glorious sunshine, fantastic hospitable hosts and French food.

An olive grove and vineyard tour was taken immediately upon arrival – this included the novel site of Aliens attempting the wine connoisseur gargle, even those that succeeded looked stupid.

Cheese was eaten, women were heard but mostly not listened to. Team bonding occurred sporadically,

some of it was quite impressive. We even won the cricket. Viva la France!

Former president Will Dennet was last seen showing poise and class at the crease...

...slugger Richard Sant has been promising to leave for ages!

Shall I play again? My average can only go down from here... What a beautiful sight - now if someone could please photoshop out the goalposts and 'keepers pads.

Finally a use for those shades bought in Norway 4 years ago.
