CAN YOU FEEL IT, CAN YOU FEEL IT, CAN YOU FEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEL IT !!!!

Oh yes, within 7 days you will be on the bus headed to paradise, a well earned weekend away from the Missus (and kids).

I therefore thought it appropriate to refresh you all with some top tips of advice from the One and only Colin Sadler !! (see below)

For those who don't know Colin (and that is likely to include many of you who have Toured previously and maybe inadvertently spoken to him) Colin is the Grumpy git who tags along each year for no apparent reason, not a Rugby player and you may have wondered why he is there at all !!. A hanger on you could say, a parasite of Tour, taking a lot but giving very little back !!!

To try and justify his existence we have tried to give Colin a role, the producer of the Tour Tape. Clearly this is something that could be done by any of the rest of us but we are a charitable club and in this way we not only make Colin feel important but give him his very own 30 minutes of Selly Oak fame as the Ghetto blasts out from the touchline !! ( perhaps he will even glean a further 5 minutes of fame with you all as you read this e-mail).

For those who are touring this year don't therefore be surprised if you don't in fact notice Colin at all but please spare a thought for Colin when you hear the music, you may even be able to spot that self satisfied grin on the face of that lonely bloke in the corner with no mates !!!

Colin is therefore unlikely to either do or be vaguely amusing during the period we are away. However, sometime ago Colin did compose the attached which will not only be informative before you depart on Tour but is, to someone with Colin's limited comic ability, hilarity exemplified .

3.e) Do they have cashpoints in Estonia?

4. What size bag should I take?

5. Could you please forward me a detailed breakdown of clothing requirements.

7. Will we be playing in the national stadium? After Lithuania, I don't know if I will be able to play in any other venue.

8. Is Neil Ashton going? Is he likely to drink more that one pint of cider and turn into the incredible hulk?

9. Any chance of letting me know what the theme is? I would like to plan the rest of my clothing to fit with the style?

10. Should I ask my partner/ girlfriend before booking or after?

If you could supply answers to these questions I will be in a better position to confirm my attendance.
