Invitation to the Inaugural Holy Cross Family Sports Day and Barbecue - 7th September 2013

Dearest Crossers,

You are all invited, whether you have a family or not, to an afternoon of unrivalled sporting opportunity in the bucolic idyll of darkest Dalkeithshire.

Events on offer will include:

Cricket - soft ball double-wicket competition
Target Golf
Croquet
Throwing the Wellie
Fishing (small river, small fish, lots of trees but very pretty)
Frisbee
Badminton
Boules
Skittles
Giant Rope Swing (not suitable for scaredypants)
Tight Rope
Trampoline
etc.
Other activities, toys and games also available for children and Vogrie adventure playground is nearby
Exquisite countryside and woodlands all around for walks and inspiration (!).

Feel free to turn up from 12.30pm and start having fun.  The cricket competition will start at 2.00(ish).  There will be a barbecue arranged for late afternoon.

This event is free to all Crossers.  Please bring your wives and girlfriends (AKA designated drivers) and kids if you have any.  We will lay on some food and soft drinks but please bring food for the barbie and your own booze - plenty of booze.  Transport to and fro is up to you.  Anyone who volunteers to come early to help organise or to man the barbie will be lavishly rewarded.  The festivities will continue as long as anyone wishes to keep partying and if anyone fancies pitching a tent and staying overnight they are welcome to do so. 

PS Please don't tweet or Facebook this - it's for Crossers only.  I will e-mail out directions closer to the date.  It's 30 mins drive from the Old Town.

Please come - the more the merrier!  Pip Pip.
