Official Seaton Carew RUFC

Half man Harry their your at again committing another crime before the tour, organizing your own stag do. If my understanding is right you have 2 best men AL the chimp who is not going on tour the wimp and the other half to you “half man Harry 2” who is going on tour well as far as he lives in Leicester that is. I feel you getting the jacko’s white glove challenge.

Unfortunately that will mean the other half man Harry 2 taking the blunt off it, I’m sure he’ll be used to it been a doctor in all. I’ll leave it at that & let your imaginations work overtime on what that challenge is going to be…….

IT APPEARS IT’S FINALLY TIME TO BREAK SILENCE!!!!!!

Well lady’s and gentlemen, boys and you girlies(tour virgin’s) out there it’s that time of year again, with only 8 days togo THIS IS IT TOUR is finally around the corner. After an extremely slow start the tour has took off with a volcano eruption of a bang, O yes we really do have the power to make the earth move. Numbers have raisin money is in, apparel is in place, bus and rooms are booked, beer is on ice, A&E have been in formed Shaun kings in town, so RUCK RUCK where ever you maybe Seaton tour time is here again.

Questions are been asked what twists and turns are in for the tourists this year, will the tour live up to tours past, can the committee go out with a bang and retire on tour Sunday in the style as they deserve after 15 years of fun and frolics, has Eddy Clark lost his voice or is he just holding out for more than just water this year. The octopuses have been fed to extreme sizes this year and just about ready to be jar’d “ Jeffery there is 1 with your name on it” which is of special size and quantity.

Its good to see some good old tourists have come out the woodwork like Nelly the elephant ( I'm sure Neil there is a drink with your name on it?) have made the effort to say there goodbyes to this style of tour before the new breed take over next year, which I sure everybody is looking forward 2 but there is still the small matter of making it through this one first. Us the committee believes we have cracked it yet again and are in pole position too top last years expectations and make this a roller coaster ride of fun, laughter and tears. “Lea ham your tears will sadly be missed” “Josh yours are welcome”

Many may think that with no internet crack it is going to be a very dull tour, but after so many years people should know us better by now, everything is never as it seems and its been kept totally top secret this year for good reasons some people may think they know, but in reality there is only 4 people really know and one of them is only sure of what golf balls we are taking and nothing else, yes we have put the white herrings out there to lead people down the garden pass again and unbelievably they have fell for it.

A thought needs to go out to committee member sat in the middle of the ocean at this moment, who is quavering like he’s got a bunch of grapes stuck in the 50 pence slot wondering if he is going to make the big event at all. Stevie we have the power of heaven and hell on our side if we can make the world panic in the quake of us making the earth move, we can get you home in time watch this space you old galoot.

Tour time is the best time of your life so please embrace this one more than any that’s passed before and lets make it a weekend to remember as you never know they might never come again and once there gone there gone for ever……………………

Yours faithfully

The JACKO’S back committee 2010.

P.S hope every body got there secret, for those that haven’t just bring a set of white gloves?

Irish Al reporting in to Tour Committee - flights finally booked! Had hoped to travel back to Seaton with you and fly from Newcastle on the Monday, but the flight was £160 on top of the €70 I'm paying to get to East Midlands! So now flying back from East Midlands on the Sunday night for €77 instead..................but, barring more volcanic eruptions or other worldwide disasters, I will be there....................

Just one thing Stevie, what hotel am I looking for? I land in East Midlands at 9.00 Friday morning, though God knows how I get to Leicester from there - think it's about 30 miles - hope there's a train or a bus 'cos will be one expensive taxi ride (well 2 'cos have to get back!). Cheque only just gone but you should have it by Monday - usually only takes 2 days to get there. Whoo, hoo, let the tour commence!!!!

I think I actually smiled yesterday for the first time - helicopters above and beyond. Hurray for red air space. Some cracking tourists this year, pure quality. Al you are looking for the Ibis, plenty of time to get there so just perch yourself on a bus or local train, tour this year was made for YOU.
I am sure that Whacko Jacko had some kind of dance, I hope everyone remembers it for the Jacko's Back challenge.
Only one word of wisdom for one particular tourist - Damon you need to bring a pair of black trousers with you, I don't know why but I wouldn't bring a particularly good pair.

All we ask is that you come with an open mind and take the tour as it is meant to be taken - good look I might see you there!!!

no probs stevie bring it on

Great to hear all is well on the travel front for you Zin Zan - disaster for Irish Al!!! Just after getting invited for a job interview - Friday 11.00am!!! Asked 'em can I change it for another day and no, I can't! Checking alternative flights - but one way to Birmingham is over €200! Might have to abandon Ryanair and see what deal I can get from Aer Lingus - I will be there - by hook or by crook I'll find some way of getting there!!! Hope my cheque reached you in this morning's post by the way? Though you wouldn't know 'cos you're still on the rig are you?

Well boys, Irish Al is officially still on the tour! The Michael Jackson Tour it maybe to you, but The Most Expensive Tour Ever it is to me!!!! Was going to be over €200 to change my flight with Ryanair, but a mere €109.30 to book a new flight with Aer Lingus - on top of the €147 for my original flights - this had better be a good tour now boys..........................But, I don't now get into Birmingham until 3.30 and then have to get a train to Leicester, so will be around 5.30-6.00pm before I join you on the Friday - I'll be the only sober tourist by then I'm sure!!!

I was talking to Matt earlier (brother in Leicester) and apparently the hotel is 5 minutes walk away from the train station in Leicester. I will try and get some decent directions for you if no body is available to meet you.

Al the bus is leaving the club at 2.30 - 3 ish and should arrive in Leicester at approx 5.30 - 6 ish see you their

The talleyman would like to announce that there are still certain tourists with an outstanding balance. Time for name and shame.
Worst job on tour collecting the money just ask Cambridge & Jeff who both returned a negative equity & quit the posotion, hope Dan has plenty of cash, don't tell the wife.

Please get it sorted with Dan before Friday because I don't want to be haggling over money on Friday and Dan's not coming down until Saturday.

Salmon £10
Si Elwell £10
Chrissy £15
Paddy £10
Joe £20
Appey - shameful
Jaffa £70 agreement made to pay on the day
Tank £ 60 agreement made to pay on the day

It all adds up and your only cheating yourself, well me and everyone else on tour because it's all paid for now.

I'm fairly sure my sums are right and the last few weeks I have been giving our lass the money so I don't lose track. Any questions just give me a ring.

The bird is in the air. See you all tomorrow 12 noon. Don't forget a club tie and somewhere to keep your money safe from Clarky.

Dan, you're a star mate - thanks for that - doesn't matter if the directions don't come through - if it's only 5 mins from the station I'll ask - someone will know where it is. And thanks for the info on timing Kenny - sounds cock on - I should hit Leicester around the same time as you boys - just need to make sure I have a couple of beers on the plane and then some tinnies for the train so I'm not playing catch up too much by the time I meet up with yers. Final question - will it be club T-shirt for the Friday night out? And then if bringing a club tie, doers that mean it's number ones for the Saturday - just working out what clothes I need to bring for my meagre Ryanair baggage allowance!!! Especially as I'll need mi rugby gear in there as well.

Regarding train - come out of the station turn right and follow the road along, the hotel is around the corner. You shouldn't have any problems! :-)

Cheers Dan - now which one is my right? The one I write with or the other one.............
