Just to let the three people who read the previous post know that the Tour de Caerlaverock has now been cancelled due to lack of weather and St Michael's CC conducting irrigation work at the Kingholm on the same date.
Let us hope the rice crop succeeds this year!

Tour "Unlikely" - Dean
The proposed tour of Cumbria now seems 'unlikely to go ahead', according to a recent semaphore message from Fleet Commander Geoff Dean. Pitches in Cumbria are reportedly just as waterlogged as some of the ones we have played on and in over here.
The myth of the "Shipwrecks Tour" now lays claim to be one of the longest-standing and best-loved seafaring stories in the oral tradition, along with "The Oddyssey" and "The Saga of Noggin The Nog." It is lovingly retold in "The Ship Inn" every year around July or August time, along with accounts of heroic deeds undertaken on the foreign fields of Threlkeld, Great Broughton and Baggrow.
In fact the last Shipwrecks tour to take place was around 2005, since when the age profile of the team has made the voyage to Cumbria increasingly hazardous and the prospect of two forty over games in a weekend virtually unthinkable.
It is probably best then that the old stories are now by tradition laid to rest in Davey Jones locker each year as soon as English Premiership season gets underway.
