We woke to rain and realised that our game plan of winning five out of five this week might have to be modified, we rang around trying to find some activities to fill the day, paintball, laser, bowling, karts, cinema. We phone the CDO, no Jack not the Chief Development Officer, and are told to travel to the ground for lunch. We eventually leave and in view of the problems last year find GKN with surprising ease and are greeted with the news that we will have an early lunch and start at 1.30pm – sounds promising. We take a tour of East Cowes and get feed up of waiting in the long queue to Newport . We are advised that if we can't see the ariel masks it is raining – what masts. We take lunch, marvel at a wonderful American football move between Wilkinson and Chappell and depart for the golf range and the go-karts. Look out when some of these players are old enough to drive next year they are simply dangerous. Our quick bowler is suddenly rammed and his fellow opening bowler tears his trousers in another pile up. The mini bus driver has trouble with the lights returning home as the sun shines and the day ends in very playable conditions – if it had only not rained. Now it has to be four out of four.
