True to form, beer was being drunk from the 9am start at Sonning and we were still drinking it until late Sunday when we completed our Crusade – having stolen their trophies, beer and women! Is it just a ‘Ning thing?

Orange is the New Blue, solo camping, Champagne at 10am, Andrew the Gnome, England Ladies Vets, another wee stop for Painter, Carel on the Dance floor, beer, Charlie collecting the trophies, champagne ice buckets over heads, Flec’s magical mystery tour around Europe and North Africa, Port - and lots of it, Picnic lunches the civilized way, rugby, Petchy the man of a few - but VERY funny - words, Ash ‘who could do better’ with his erection!, returning to get Jimmy’s wallet, straight arm drinking, the Over 65 ladies, dinner at a table with a knife and fork, more champagne, did Syed actually pull, birthday cake on tour, get a faster bus next time, private BBQ and party, tent judging, young bar staff who sell wine for a sip of port, boules, van music, Dad dancing great singing and did we mention some beer?

“Really good top quality banter from you all. Not to mention winning our league! WTF??? and the most sociable, team spirit award!”

“Plenty of #manluv going on too! great to see! and great to spread the Sonning love across Europe”

“Thanks for an awesome weekend boys - I'm off for a cheeky kip in the company medical room :-)”
