Heartiest congratulations to Matt and Sarah who were successfully wed yesterday - as the attending minister remarked "half of Matt's possessions" are now shared by Sarah - which by our reckoning means she must have about a quarter of last season's subs!!!

It was a very good day out, attended by the Johns contingent of Dickie and Kaye (P. Cock ;-)), Scott and Helen, Mr and Mrs CDO, CLiff and myself. A particularly nice touch was in Ian (father of the bride)'s speech, he made good mention of last season's Calverly Cup final success. Good man.

There was one particular challenge when the lights went out halfway through the speeches, leaving Matt on tenterhooks for the best part of 2 hours! Given that we were in the middle of nowhere, it was quite interesting ... and allowed certain people, who shall remain nameless, to get very very drunk indeed. I think we're clear that the title CDO actually means Club Drinking Officer!

One added bonus - Kaye and Richard were booked into Room 19 at their hotel, which is apparently haunted by the ghost of a nun, Sister Benedict, who hanged herself! So we'll await a report from Dickie this week to see if any ghostly goings on were noted!
