Went to a BEAST OF A PISTE today....Where? Well, Bancroft Park. Of course! T'was there Snow Boule. When I arrived there was a swarm of Bancroft Park players and a gathering of Axe and Compass usual suspects...Cindy, Phil, Debbie et al...Then me. An Alien from LPC. But I was made very welcome by Chief Elf Brian and everyone. Three timed games and mince pies, hot coffee and hot, CRISPY sausage rolls provided by the Good Elf Jan herself! And my goodness, as the rain pelted down and the Piste turned swampy, we needed sustenance...I found myself in teams that were a mixture of B. P. and A&C. Lovely people. Just have to mention Mary (B.P.) Oh boy, WHAT a pointer! She must have been a Blood Hound in a previous life. She snucked her wet boule SLAM DUNK next to the coche every time. Magic. And lovely 'burry' Stewart (A+C). We shared many giggles on and off Piste but he too pointed par excellence. A privilege to play with all of these talented people. It ticked all of the boxes for me...Food, beast of a Piste, fantastic' Playmanship' and....hugs, giggles, jokes to bind it altogether. Thank you Brian for inviting me. Hope to see these people at LPC for OUR Snow Boule Friday 29.12.17. When we can have another jamboree! Yeah!
