Annual Cricket Match and BBQ

Our 9th of June 08 meeting was, as usual, combined with our annual cricket match and BBQ at the North Down Cricket Club in Comber. It was, by all accounts, a great success, namely because the Belfast Titanic Society actually won the match! Having said that, it was a hard fought game and no quarter was given, the Comber team fought hard and fair. As usual the BBQ was well presented with Jill & Jasmine Edgar and Tracy Beare supplying both the society, and the opposing team, with copious amounts of food. Slaving over the hot charcoal was our very own resident chef Eddie Gregory and his young assistant Roland Murphy.

All thanks must go to North Down Cricket Club and Ian Shields for the generous use of their facilities for what is becoming a very important social meeting in our calendar.
