Bettsy Stag sevens...Hi Guys
Some of you may remember Ian Betts, a member of the front row union, who chose to get educated and go to university. Since then, he's getting all grown up and married, and has asked his old team buddies at haverhill to send a team up to his 'Stag do Sevens'. Hats off to Bettsy for such a good idea!
It's on Saturday 25th July, at a Rugby club near Manchester, suggest we drive up early Saturday, register by 12, play all afternoon, enjoy local entertainment and refreshments, get a good nights sleep in the local travelodge and head home on the Sunday afternoon,after lunch.
If you fancy a mini tour, with sevens and a stag do, let me know either with a message below or give me a ring or text - you've all got my number.
Teams will be between 7 and 13 players, and a ref, plus boozy spectators. 8 teams in tournement, all drawn from Bettys varied rugby career.
In the spirit of sillyness, we'll also have a fancy dress theme, as will all other teams - to be decided.
Cheers!

Would a Choir master be needed?
|
Bergs

Always need a choirmaster, and any speed, even if it's 0.1 mph, will be good, ta Kev!
Team is growing by the hour, got Raffs too...that's front row already!

If your are still looking for a ref, have spoken to Pete 'the (one legged) cat' Lester, and he's game for it as either a ref or as a spectator.
|

Pete 'very veteren' Jester would of course be very welcome, as both ref, and spectator, probably both at the same time.
I think Pete helped young bettsie on his way onto rugby in the first place, so only fitting he's there while he makes the long slow walk into married life and grown-up land!

What are we doing about transport, is it a case of get yourself there or are we gonna rent a bus?
|
Jimbo
|
From the look of it, a bus might be a good idea.
|
jester
|
What exactly is going on, do we have a team yet and can we get some more info about it (costs etc) pls?

That's cool by me dude, I'll be your wing man at inside centre, so I can both pass you my hip flask between tackles and mop your sweaty brow with a gorgeous silk hankie.
Who's playing wing outside me, I'm hoping they'll be doing the buffet?

any idea of cost as i might try and get out for betsys stag do
|
Bergs

I'll ring around in a week or two and get some confirmed numbers, work out best way to get there (probably by mini bus), get hotel prices and let everyone know the score.
Do people want a tour shirt for this, or do they want to keep it cheap as possible?
Cheapest is cars, travelodges and club shirts, other options include tour shirts, t shirts, mini bus and better accomodation...
Let me know!

im happy what ever dont want to make it to much work.

I think club shirts, a premier inn or travel lodge and a mini bus could be the shout Mr B, what do you think?
Then we have an affordable couple of days as though as you know were not a great drinkers!! Lol
|
Bergs

Sounds Good.
Sexy Kev, do you have acces to a mini bus? Didn't you sort one before from your mum for the Southwold game? How much was that and can we get it again?
Don't you love the interweb - you can even organise tours on it!
|
sexykev

it might be best to ask tony hope he sorted it last time i think the prob would be gettin someone that could drive it you have to have a license thats registered through the group that own the van.

It's June now.
Is this something we should meet up about to discuss what / if / how / when etc of logistics and the like?
Good day Saturday. Shame about the rugby.
