Just one small correction, I didn't meet my relative until at the Lamb and Fountain. His name was John Wells and Mick introduced me to him. You all had already scuttled out the door towards the car park, and I with a dead camera battery and no one to record this historic event...reached out to grasp the hand of John to reconnect the generations of pond swimmers!<br /><br />Mick, be the way, is Michael Patrick Caventor, of Irish and English decent. I will contribute more pictures of this historic match in tomorrows blog.<br /><br />Sir Hook Who's Lamb Needs a Fountain of WarrickdkWellshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14036130304612683613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3515218627607939514.post-35187737328463558092009-07-27T14:05:27.380-05:002009-07-27T14:05:27.380-05:00Oh, these games look wonderful!
