BPCC 125th Anniversary Tour 2016

24 Nov 2015

Dear Members

As per our discussion at the AGM I'm organising our 125th Anniversary Tour. This will be a wonderful opportunity to celebrate our great clubs heritage and honour traditions......by getting drunk and dropping catches!

The plan is to gather on Wednesday 6th July for coffee and bacon butties before we head West, well South West actually. We will spend 3 days and more importantly three nights on tour.

On arrival in the not so coastal town of Exeter we'll take on three of Devonshire's finest teams. After completing a Devon Slam we'll return in form and fit as fleas for our Saturday games.

For the organisation of three games, three nights accommodation and a special one off 125th Anniversary Tour souvenir plus the amazing departure butties it'll cost you just £200.00.

We will need a minimum of 14 players to make it viable (injury, fatigue and hospitalisation will need covering). Non-playing tourist are very welcome, we'd love to see the ground force team on tour tearing it up, and they can partake in many of the 'other' activities.

The tour will contain all the old favourites with fines, sneaks, and forfeits plus a couple of new obligatory cultural activities and some non obligatory activities.......just need to decide what they will be now Des has scuppered deep sea fishing in Exeter.

To guarantee your place and allow us to book early, get the best fixtures available on the dates we want please initially confirm to me at garythompson9@icloud.com and then arrange a cheque to the club or transfer £40 deposit with reference 'tour'.

Ideally I'd like to get a provisional booking in place soon so replies and deposits (refundable up until we book, which we won't do without the numbers) by Jan 29th please.

Finally if you know someone with club connections who you think would like to come please feel free to invite them, the more the merrier.
