The 23rd June saw RBCC host the annual BBCA Summer party. As usual the sun shone brightly and a great time was had by all. The many guests and visitors included Mme Poncelet the Échevin des Sports of Lasne , M. Bernard Plaes the Deputy Mayor of Lasne and Mr Martin Shearman the British Ambassador. Entertainment included a barbecue run by Stonemanor (the British Store) various stalls selling afternoon tea and the traditional Pimm’s tent.

The great and the good at RBCC

The ground looked fantastic thanks to Jalal and the Shed team. There was some good cricket played by SHAPE and a British Embassy side, the latter eking out revenge after last year’s defeat.

Nick Compton brought all his experience to bear in organising the tug of war, the sack race and of course the egg and spoon.

Supporting good causes

Apart from having fun one of the main aims of the party was to raise money for the BBCA charities. The Tombola did a roaring trade and over €2000 was raised in total. Several members of the RBCC family walked away with prizes.

As usual, the organisers would like to express their appreciation to all of you who worked so hard to make sure that this event was a success; thank you all for your efforts.
