Time once again for us all to pack the hamper, grab a travelling rug and head for the meadow for our annual Summer Jamboree.smile
As ever, in alphabetical order, be as inventive as you like, after all who doesn’t want to take a yak with them?

if Rufus fancies himself as 007
Cherrytree59; Well! My "flabber is gasted" as Frankie would say! You were about to compare me with that narcissistic 007 until you changed your mind. Whilst I admit to being very sophisticated (sez who?smile) and have some lovely ladies at my beck and call, any similarities end there. grin
After all, I'm a "Friday's Child" (loving and giving; so true!) who could never suffer from NPD.
So there!

Servants ( well, bound to need a few)

Why not a Gransnet summer sports jamboree? Like a Northern Hemisphere version of the Invictus games.
I'm sure Prince Harry wouldn't mind.
Just a thought! wink

Tennis racquets ( sports Rufus!) and it will burn off a few calories.

X country sports (for the
elephants of course)

^X-country sports (for the

Cherrytree; Excellent idea! How many elephant jockeys do we have? We'll need them, to stop the Jumbos stampeding through the dunnies, grin
And they won't need to lose any weight; no weighing scales involved.!

Is there to be a GN summer sports day or not? Or are we too bushed because of the heat? I'm keen to get going with my fav, event and I'm already into intensive training, but I need motivation.
I can't organise it from here, so come on Netters
"digitum extractum" as they say in the classics.! grin

Rufus definitely a summer sports day at the GN Jamboree.
Are you applying for the honourable position of lead Elephant jockey Rufus?

Where were we??
Yellow jersey for the fastest elephant lap time

definitely a summer sports day at the GN Jamboree.
Thanks for that info Cherrytree; Will you be Chief Stewardess?
You'll have to gather a strong team to get cracking on knitting that yellow elephant sweater; we've only got 10 weeks to the Invictus Games (Oct 20-27), in Sydney; the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will be attending and so will half the world's media, so we need to be ready to ride in on the back of all that publicity.! grin What day do you suggest?
"Honourable senior jockey sounds good, although unpaid(?). All profits can go into the GN's Christmas party fund. smile
Now all we need is a prog. of events! Who has scored that job?
