Our last news update was over a year ago. How bad is that? We’ve been mad busy and just haven’t kept up with the website. Something we said we’d never do, but time has just flown by.
We’re hoping to start blogging a bit more this year, well, at least more than last year!
Lots of Ripe social activities coming up… Glastonbury, Boules, Football etc, but in the mean time here is a quick picture of Clive at Ipex 2010 at the NEC where on the Watkiss stand we found a quote by him!

On Sunday we played our annual game of cricket against ‘Uncle Terry & Co’.

Adam: “you should see my sun burn!!!”

Rob: “I spent the early evening at the Walk-in Centre in Bath and Chiropractor this morning! Part dislocated shoulder, damaged ribs, complex series of muscle tears.”

Rich: Sunburn and Bruised Ankle

Clive: First one to A&E – Cricket ball just above the eye and bruised thumb

Simon: “Puts my sunburn, BBQ bloating and broken finger into a worthwhile perspective. And I broke my watch catching the ***** ball.”

Julie P: “Could be in plaster for 6 weeks with a ruptured Achilles”

What was a fantastic day was somewhat over shadowed by the Ripe teams unbelievable amount of injuries… plus losing by 10 or so runs which after last years draw was very disappointing.

Sun was shining all afternoon.

Lots of supporters watching the game, enjoying the sun and waiting for the BBQ to start!

Rob from Northbank, contemplating his batting technique and desperately trying not to run anyone out this year.

Clive feeling very sorry for himself after what only can be described as a vicious illegal ball bowled by “cousin” Andrew.
