BBQ is still on, fingers crossed for the weather

Details
Created: 26 May 2006
It has only been cancelled once in the many years we have been doing these BBQ's on the beach, so I am sure we will be fine. Normally once the sun begins to set, things quieten down on the weather fronts (pun!).

Bangers and beers it is then!

Noor Khan, British Spy

Created: 20 May 2006
I only managed to catch the last part of a documentary on BBC2 last night called The Princess Spy, which covered the role of an Indian woman that spied on behalf of Britain during World War 2 and died at the hands of the German Nazis, along with other women spies.

She was only one of a handful of women to have received the George Cross.

Book on Noor Inayat Khan, a Spy Princess.


Quick summary on Noor Inayat Khan.

I will be getting the book and taking it to Croatia with me to read on holiday as well as The Time Traveler's Wife, which has been highly recommended by a friend of mine, as well as Richard and Judy's book club.

OK, time to fix the next BBQ date. (Subject to me sorting out the forms and paying the fee, but usually that is not a problem.)

Saturday May 27th it is then! 6PM onwards at the bottom of Toft Zig Zag.

Usual rules apply. Bring your own food, drink and dispoable BBQ.

Rumour has it that me, Mark H and Matt are dipping in the big sea that night, but we have to get down the gym and flatten the stomachs little before they make their first public appearance this year. I might staple on 6 Wall's bangers onto my stomach and make it look like a 6-pack.

Thomson Fly, going to Prague

Details
Created: 20 April 2006
Starting in Novemeber 2006, Thomson Fly are starting flights to Prague, Czech Republic. I did a test booking and it worked out to be just over £38 return, per person. Fantastic. No doubt more stag do's will fly from Bournemouth.

A pity it doesn't start in October as I am planning to go then as well.

Karate Club
20 years on and a few ex-members of Birmingham University karate club attended a training course back at the old place.Everyone has got older, some have lost weight, some have put some on and others have lost hair, or some combination of all those.

It was good to see Marcela, John and Graham. Maybe the next time won't be so long coming.

You can see more here: Birmingham University Karate Club, 20 years on.

John has given me a couple of photo albums so I will get round to scanning them in, soon...

Southbourne Groove

We all try and get involved in the local community scene in Southbourne, Dorset.

When I have time, I try and update southbournegroove.com with snippets of news and events.
