Gap Year Experiences

Lions 2009 Pre Trip Gathering

Tuesday 25 November 2008

On Saturday we had a gathering for lots of the guys that are coming out with us to South Africa next June for the British Lions tour. For anyone near South West London, the Aragon House in Parsons Green is an incredible venue for sports games - The "Blue Room" has two huge screens and a bar with some very friendly barman - a great atmosphere.

The result, as I'm sure most people will know, was a beating from the Springboks and an embarrassment for English rugby. Annoyingly I have had to weather the barrage of abuse and continual chat from Vince in the Pepper office - my only saving grace is that the Lions may return the favour next summer. It was awesome to see all of you that made it down and a great chance for everyone to meet each other before the trips next year.

cheers for now
