Due to adverse weather conditions the organisers have no choice but to postpone the planned BBQ event; to be held at 'The Hideaway'; until next Sunday 28th June 2009.We're obviously very sorry for all of you who have made plans to attend, and can
I can personally recommend this eatery; the owner - Marco - makes a big effort to make everyone welcome, and serves a variety of locally produced dishes, most of the veg. coming from his family's land.
If anyone has a passion for Rugby either as a spectator or even player you'll be most welcome at the Tascapa' Touch Tournament, held every other wednesday evening beginning 27 May and going on 'ad infinitum' at San Savino di Ripatransone.
Yo Moxie; we're about 50 kms away from you; the other side of Offida; so, a mere stone's throw. We'll be there at Le Querce on Wed 3rd June. Time? (2 of us - Andrew + Jean)
Correctamundo Alma! That's me, so as you probably know Mum lives on Farley Hill still, house below Marples the builder, just behind the Laburnum. Did you by any chance go to College with Sally Boyd? She lodged with us when we had the shop and also attended the College.We have some good friends on the West Coast - Genova area, plus I've been involved with the Rugby Clubs in Cecina (the President is English) and also Livorno where I've also ran coaching courses.I've never had the chance to visit 5 Terra although Jean had a day there a couple of years ago. I also have run management development courses for OttoMelara; the tank makers at La Spezia.Let us know when you are coming over.
Just to add an idea; at the Pizzeria in Pagliari on Tuesday nights they have Indian Meal Night. The Pizzeria is run by a family from India; are passionate about cricket (one of the family who is staying at the mo. is at pro-cricket level) and guarantee a real hearty welcome. We've been along for the Indian Night (you need to be minimum in 4) and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Hey MoxieIf it's David Rose the referee we're good mates and ex-colleagues in the RFU, usually in touch on a regular basis. We've occasionally met up here in Italy when he's been on exchange or international duty.
Hi AngieWe live in Colli del Tronto which is on the Salaria; between San Benedetto del Tronto / Porto D'Ascoli and Ascoli Piceno. Up until last August we lived in Fermo, and know Montegiorgio reasonably well, and in fact during the annual festival at the race track - Porche / VW Beetle parade etc; staged a Touch Rugby demo in the centre of the circuit. We also have some mates up in Magliano di Tenna (Dave and Maggie) who you may also know.We still maintain a very high standard of alcohol induced dialect, although since Jean is a Yorkshire Yakker we sometimes stumble into incomprehension. I often tell her that the best thing to come out of Yorkshire was the road to Derbyshire, which generally results in a thick ear.Be good to meet up some time;Andrew
Hi Alma; this is getting silly; we'll have to start Marche Clubhouse Matlock branch I reckon... I was born in the old Coop on Wellington Street, and my father's family all hail from Matlock Moor and Lumsdale. Mum still lives on Farley Hill. Where are you in Matlock?We live in a small village called Colli del Tronto, a small place situated on the Salaria road, between San Benedetto del Tronto and Ascoli Piceno. We're very lucky to be about 15 mins drive from the beach, and the same distance to the Sibilini mountains.We've tried to translate "Eh up me duck" but I have a conflict as my good lady; Jean; is a Yorkshire Yakker, and we have a cross referencing of dialects! Maybe "Now then yowth, ow art tha goin on?" might be handy.Be great to meet up some timeJeppo

Just a quick question - When something is simple in the Rocket Science lesson, what do they say to describe it?
Basically; YES
