Title: Hereford Autumn Big Game - Bridge Over Trebbled Water
Post by: Doug ex-em4 on October 16, 2018, 09:09:56 PM

Local worthies, lead by the redoubtable Sir Gilbert Hill, launched a cross-river assault against troops representing the so-called “Government” and their BUF allies.

Fantastic! 

I might one day forgive you lot for consistently organising games to coincide with my holidays abroad, but not any time soon, as it looks like I missed a treat!  >:(

Mark

We missed you. The solution is simple. Don’t go away in March or October - simples.

See, that's what I'm talking about - I'm always away in March and October... A shabby Fifth-Columnist trick...

Great report Doug. Good to see Sir Gilbert's forces fighting again.
