Golf Latest - Thompson Cup Still Residing in
England.
For those few who have missed the cut and
thrust of the auld enemy versus the Scots, I can
report that the English gave them a serious
drubbing on 12 June when the two sides met for
the spring meeting and, as the song goes, “sent
them home to think again”. See report here
Medieval Banquet
The celebration of St. George’s Day was marked
by a Medieval Banquet at the Mandarin Oriental
Hotel Jakarta.
The evening's programme was hailed by Ye Old
town crier and those in attendance were
entertained by the multi-talented court jesters
and jugglers. A fantastic evening was enjoyed by
all and who can forget the fabulous
entertainment served up by the jousting
competition! The Ambassador Martin Hatfull's
talented oration was well received and added a
fine touch of culture to an otherwise rowdy
evening. To see full report click here
