GREEN WEBSITE CAUSES EMBARRASMENT ………..
Word is that one of our happy band, (
part-time rambler, initials MH ), had a little trouble the other
day during a lecture. Apparently whilst
rambling around the internet he popped into
www.barnardsgreen.com.
Soul Limbo starts up, MH can’t work out how to turn it off, lecturer
realises that this music is not coming
from the site that they are supposed to be looking at and
kicks him out of the lecture. Mark,
here’s a clue ….. click the STOP button next time !!!
CAN ANYONE TELL ME ……
How on earth WCCC can have a twenty

born in a workshop”. If you, like Matt, struggle to find
the answer then email the website or
ask any member of the 2003 South Devon tourists to
enlighten you.

Five members of an
Indian women's club cricket team from Punjab
on tour in the United
Kingdom have "disappeared" police sources said on Tuesday.
The women, all in their
early twenties, went missing from two houses
in predominantly Asian
dominated Hounslow, in west London,
where they were staying
with eight other players.The team from Jalandhar
arrived on August 10 on
a three-week visa with a full schedule of matches
but played only twice in
Worcestershire before the five
disappeared on August 12.
According to a report in
the Evening Standard
today one was seen carrying luggage
and getting into a car
with two men at about 5 pm. The other four told team mates
they were going to visit
someone but were never seen again. A spokesman of the
Indian High Commission,
Navdeep Suri, said that they had read the report
and were verifying
the facts. According to the report all the five left their passports
behind.Sergeant Vince
Harte from Hounslow's missing persons unit said:
"There was talk of
this mysterious man appearing and the girls going off with him
but after enquiries it
appears they knew him and it may have been all pre-arranged."
