Gransnet Summer Jamboree

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.! What day do you suggest?
"Honourable senior jockey sounds good, although unpaid(?). All profits can go into the GN's Christmas party fund.
Now all we need is a prog. of events! Who has scored that job?
OoRoo

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

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.!

^X-country sports (for the
elephants of course)^
Cherrytree; Excellent idea! How many elephant jockeys do we have? We'll need them, to stop the Jumbos stampeding through the dunnies,
And they won't need to lose any weight; no weighing scales involved.!

elephants of course)

Oh can't we just have good ideas?

Ukuleles .....anyone musical?
George Formby was; always smiling as he cleaned windows!

Waxed country coats ( rain next weekend)

Very large air conditioned rest area with (chaises longues and chilled drinks served by charming young men.)

Just a teensy reminder to all....this game is alphabetical

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

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!

Servants ( well, bound to need a few)

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?) and have some lovely ladies at my beck and call, any similarities end there.
After all, I'm a "Friday's Child" (loving and giving; so true!) who could never suffer from NPD.
So there!

Rooibos Tea, well someone’s bound to like it!

Quality street ,

Pina Colada, with a paper parasol in the glass

Olives for the Martini (shaken not stirred!)

A fan (cant stand the heat)

Nutella...a big jar

Marrow perhaps?

No sports Rufus although there could be some elephant racing
No thanks! They'd outrun me, although if you let me bring that stew there might well be a granny stampede for the dunnies!
Either way I'd come last. I suppose someone is bringing some portables?
